TALENT SPOTTING

Scotland has a long and successful history as a major financial centre. Two hundred years ago it was the birthplace of a fledgling crop of insurance companies. The Scottish Widows Fund and Life Assurance Society, the first mutual company to be founded in Edinburgh was created in 1815. It was soon followed in 1826 by the West of Scotland Insurance Company, later known as Scottish Amicable, and then joined by Scottish Equitable in 1831 and Scottish Provident in 1837.

Keillar Resourcing managing director Harris Keillar says: "There has always been a mismatch between the type of candidates sought and those who apply, but that is more acute now. Firms want to recruit hunter types rather than farmers, but these are more likely to set up on their own."
