About Us
Established to offer a consultative service, we are focused on delivering the best talent and opportunities to our client and candidate community. We use the term ‘community’ as we believe that the recruiter, client and candidate are intrinsically linked, and our experience shows that a solid connection will deliver the best results.
Our focus is to ensure that we add value and drive change in an over-populated recruitment space. In order to achieve this, we will work in partnership with you and provide a quality service which is built on honesty and transparency. Our approach has allowed us to build and establish relationships nationally with some of the leading providers in the country.
Blakely Scott is committed to offering our candidate and clients a secure and accredited service.
Senior Management Team
Dave Langford
I’m Dave, Managing Director at Blakely Scott. I started my career in recruitment straight out of University in 2008. Having previously worked at Director level for a larger organisation, I was really attracted to joining a smaller, more flexible organisation that’s not just passionate about its clients, but also its staff. I’m enthused when working collaboratively with clients to provide a long-term, sustainable talent solution. It has been a pleasure to work with our customers to help find great talent and establish their candidate experience journeys.
Yazmin Collins
I’m Yazmin and I’ve worked in recruitment since 2018. I joined Blakely Scott because I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to recruitment. With the challenges the Health & Social Care sector faces with candidate shortages, I decided to join an company passionate about making organisations stronger through ethical and relationship led recruitment. I work very closely with my clients to build excellent working relationships based upon honesty and full transparency, providing to all levels throughout a business. I pride myself on having a focused, passionate approach, delivering exactly what I say I will, whilst bringing enthusiasm to the working environment.
David Dunn
I’m David, one of the Associate Directors here at Blakely Scott. I have been working within Health and Social Care Recruitment for the past 10 years. I initially moved across to recruitment following a previous 9-year period within the Insurance sector. I was excited to join Blakely Scott as I believe this is an organisation with the modern-day approach, providing flexibility, not only for our clients but also for its staff. Throughout my career, I have always been incredibly passionate about the delivery of service, as well as establishing and maintaining positive and personable internal and external relationships. I am excited and motivated to implement this approach and enhance the continued reputation of Blakely Scott.

Committed to Change
Climate change is impacting human lives and health in a variety of ways. It threatens the essential ingredients of good health – clean air, safe drinking water, nutritious food supply and safe shelter – and has the potential to undermine decades of progress in global health. As part of the Health & Social Care community Blakely Scott are pledging 2 trees for every placement to help combat the Climate Crisis through Ecologi.
It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said that if the world wanted to limit the rise to 1.5C by 2050, an extra 1bn hectares (2.4bn acres) of trees would be needed. They are also crucial in preventing ecological collapse. Ecologi have a range of amazing tree planting partners who are able to responsibly plant millions of trees a month in countries worldwide.
