Gillian Pate, Head of HR and Director at Anderson Knight, recently led the successful search for a Chief People & Culture Officer at the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF). With extensive knowledge of the HR market, Gillian brought clarity, care, and expertise to every stage of the process — here’s what the successful candidate had to say:
“Gillian has been simply outstanding. Her ability to source my profile and determine my suitability for this role is a superb demonstration of her ability to not only understand the needs of her customers but to be able to translate that into sourcing the right candidates. From the very outset Gillian became a trusted partner providing clear direction, coaching and feedback. She cared – cared about getting the right candidate for her client but also deeply cared about her candidates. Throughout this process Gillian was a tremendous source of encouragement and direction. Any organisation or candidate who has the opportunity to have Gillian in their corner is extremely lucky. I feel very privileged to be in my new role – all of which would not have been possible if it wasn’t for Gillian – THANK YOU”
