Meet The Team.

The Directors’ Story .

Louise and Tracy first crossed paths many moons ago as colleagues, forming a solid friendship that would later become the foundation of their business. With a combined 40+ years of experience working in both global hiring giants and boutique recruitment firms, they saw an opportunity to create something different. During the pandemic, they launched CET, a boutique talent consultancy built on the belief that hiring should be seamless, enjoyable, and human-centric.

Drawing on their experiences as expatriates—Louise in Houston, Texas, and Tracy in the United Arab Emirates—they brought a global perspective to their business. Now both based in Scotland, they continue to serve clients across the US, EMEA, and the UK, travelling regularly to stay connected with the markets they know and love. With an industry-leading 98% placement success rate and a 100% retention record, CET is a testament to their passion for getting it right.

Tracy and Louise have no desire to grow the business to the point where they lose the personal touch that sets them apart. They truly love what they do. By remaining hands-on in every project, they ensure exceptional service, meaningful relationships, and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact on their clients’ and candidates’ lives.

Meet The Recruitment Team .

Hey, I’m Tracy!

Over 20 years in talent acquisition have taken me across the globe, including six unforgettable years in the UAE. Those years gave me a deep appreciation for different cultures and the nuances that shape how people build relationships. Today, I also work with clients across North America and the UK, helping people shape their careers and driving organisations forward.

When I’m not working, I love getting outdoors and soaking up everything my gorgeous home country of Scotland has to offer. At home, I enjoy unwinding with my husband, Kris, and our furry babies, Pinot and Grigio (their names say everything about how we like to relax!). Coming from a big family with four sisters, seven nieces, and nephews certainly keeps me on my toes (and definitely played a part in my decision not to have children—ha!). Instead, I’ve planned a life filled with work that I love, family, friends, and as much travel as possible.

I believe in making the most of every moment, whether through my career or the time I spend with loved ones.

Hi, I’m Louise!

I’ve been in talent acquisition for nearly 20 years, including six unforgettable years in Houston, Texas, where I became a mum to my two little Texans, Isla and Vincent. Living in the US was the best experience of my life—I loved the energy, the people, and the opportunities. It’s also why CET is so committed to the US market—it’s personal for us! I still return as often as I can, mixing work with a little nostalgia whenever I get the chance.

Now, I’m back in Scotland, raising my kids with my husband, David, and soaking up the chaos of family life. Whether I’m planning our next big adventure, working on a DIY project, or throwing a Texas BBQ in my garden (yes, even in the Scottish rainy weather), I’m all about making moments count.

That’s the same approach I bring to my work. I genuinely care about creating a hiring experience that’s seamless, trustworthy, and enjoyable. My job is to make sure you feel supported every step of the way, and I won’t rest until I’ve done just that.

Meet Our Crew.

Jamie Miller

Senior Researcher

Jamie is our resident ‘geek’. He spearheads exhaustive talent mapping, diving deep into the investment landscape, technology, and industry news. He ensures pinpoint accuracy when identifying where top talent resides—and in record time, too. Outside of work, he’s a massive rugby fan and a proud dad to two crazy dogs, Buster and Bernie.

Natalie Thompson

Researcher & Assessment Coordinator

Natalie is Jamie’s trusted sidekick, but her role goes far beyond supporting him in research—she also coordinates all our candidate assessments. When she’s not at work, she’s exploring Europe’s coffee scene, critiquing at least 99% of what she tastes… but we wouldn’t have her any other way! Oh, and she’s also Tracy’s sister.

Dee Rowan

Operations Manager

Dee, our Operations Manager, is the linchpin of our team, keeping everything (and everyone) on track. She ensures accountability across the board, focusing on client and candidate satisfaction while prioritising care in every interaction. In her spare time, Dee loves to “obsess over serial killer documentaries and eat biscuits.” No, really, that was her exact answer when we asked her what to write here. 

Asif Iqbal

Recruitment Support & Data Manager

Asif is our trusted support assistant, handling just about any task we throw his way with ease. Outside of work, he spends Sundays playing cricket with his cousins—a self-proclaimed good batsman and pretty decent bowler too, apparently! A dedicated family man, he hopes to one day buy his parents a house—a goal that shows just how much heart he puts into everything.
