“I was impressed by Nick’s research and preparation in advance of our first meeting, it showed real dedication and professionalism. Nick helped us secure an excellent candidate for our investment position, a highly important role within our organisation, and managed us and the candidate through the process in a calm and considered manner. I would recommend to others.”

"We have known Nick for many years.  He is a highly valued recruitment specialist to many of the different parts of Ryecroft Glenton.

 

I’d highly recommend Nick to any business looking for senior recruits in the professional services sector.   He draws upon huge amounts of experience; we really value his advice and counsel. When he is working with us, we have a high degree of comfort and reassurance that matters will be dealt with in the most appropriate and effective manner."

Steve Cowie

"Nick has been an invaluable partner in our first senior recruitment collaboration. His grasp of our needs and BDO’s local growth ambitions were evident from our first meeting; his research and preparation were truly impressive, with him demonstrating excellent mapping of the candidate market at the outset and selectively aligning candidates with our requirements. This culminated in an appointment which is the perfect fit for our team.
 
Working with him is enjoyable and his communication skills are excellent, keeping both parties informed and engaged throughout the process. He is proactive in making suggestions for interacting with candidates and streamlining the process towards a successful outcome.
 
I very much look forward to working with Nick in filling our next senior roles."
