Directorbank ñ the rapidly expanding niche recruitment business for main board directors ñ has appointed Kareen Rodger, former director of Arthur Andersen, to manage its growing operations in Scotland.

Directorbank is the UKís leading recruiter of directors and non-executive directors for management buy-out/buy-in deals and also recruits for the PLC market. More than 50 venture capital houses have constant access to its database of 2,500 immediately available and vetted directors.

Kareen Rodger, director, said: ìFrom the corporates I have spoken to, it is clear that there is a demand for high quality, immediately available candidates, both locally and nationally. Directorbank has these candidates on a highly cost-effective basis. Executive appointments can be achieved much more quickly than through traditional routes, and the hunt for a non-exec can be widened in line with the Higgs Report recommendations. We have a track record of helping our clients punch above their weight in terms of the quality of candidates they appoint.î

Jonathan Hick, chief executive of Directorbank, said: ìApart from London we do more business in Scotland than anywhere else in the UK. Kareen is exceedingly well connected in Scottish boardrooms and knows the corporate finance market inside out. She will play a key part in our growth plans.î
