AN EDINBURGH start-up is set to make a splash as the first Scottish recruitment firm exclusively dedicated to the country’s water and energy markets.
The recruitment spin-out known as Cyrus is the latest brand from professional services recruitment specialist Edgar Stewart’s start-up hub in Stockbridge and is being rolled out by Sara Zorriasatein, who is investing £20,000 of her own money in the new venture.
Edgar Stewart, which has already backed two niche recruitment start-ups this year, will match Zorriasatein’s equity to double the investment.
Zorriasatein said: “Not only is it the first of its kind in Scotland, but it goes against the grain of run-of-of-the-mill recruitment consultancy.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
