Enigma People Solutions finds a leader for groundbreaking software testing business
New social enterprise will provide employment for those with Autism…
In March 2010, CEiS (Community Enterprise in Scotland) secured investment funding to develop a new, Glasgow-based social enterprise - Specialisterne Scotland. Based on a groundbreaking business model originated in Denmark, Specialisterne Scotland is focused on employing people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as software testers. The National Autistic Society Scotland (NAS) estimates that, in Scotland, only 13% of adults with an autism spectrum disorder are in full-time employment.
Following introductions and initial discussions, Enigma was invited to formally pitch and submit a proposal on how it would source candidates for a position that the client believed would be difficult to fill: that of ‘General Manager’ of the Specialisterne Scotland office - a post requiring a highly unusual mix of skills and experience.
David Mains of Enigma People Solutions said: “This was a challenging brief given the unique mix of business and ‘soft’ skills that the role demands. We’re delighted that the bespoke Executive Search strategy that we recommended and executed on behalf of Specialisterne Scotland has resulted in the appointment of an exceptional candidate as their new General Manager.”

“The benefit of working with Enigma was that they quickly understood exactly what we were trying to achieve and their involvement allowed us to focus on all the other activity associated with setting up the new business, safe in the knowledge that the search for our general manager was being handled professionally on our behalf.
We required an individual who not only had the necessary IT and management experience, but also had knowledge and experience of working with people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder – this combination of factors meant that there was a very limited pool of potential candidates out there to find.
Enigma provided a bespoke service, tailored to our objectives, at a fee that we agreed was suitable for us. All of the candidates Enigma presented for interview were of a high standard. Ultimately, the end solution Enigma provided was exactly what we required.”” - James Finnie, Specialisterne Scotland
