"Launched in 2017, Valens Medical Partnership is a patient led Primary Care Network group made up of 8 GP practices. We engaged NRG to carry out a search to identify suitable candidates for the role of Managing Director. We sought to recruit a values-focused candidate that could quickly and effectively establish and embed best practice principles around patient care - whilst also providing the strategic leadership necessary to drive the Partnership forwards.NRG conducted a detailed search, providing us with target candidates and the ability to shape the scope and direction of the search in line with our expectations around strength and suitability of the candidates shortlisted. The candidates presented for interview had backgrounds from outside the sector as well those with healthcare experience. NRG helped us undertake an effective and open assessment process from which we were able to select a strong candidate new to healthcare with strong logistics and supply chain skills with a specific focus on process and systems to underpin a high performing team."

Having known Gary for a few years and knowing how diligently he works for his clients and candidates I knew I’d get great support but I never expected how exceptional the experience would be. From the moment I made the call enquiring about an open position I knew I was in safe hands. Gary had exceptional knowledge of the role, knowing exactly what skills and experience the client was looking for. It was clear he’d taken time and interest in understanding the client’s values and culture to ensure that any potential candidates were a good fit.

NRG's personal consultative approach made finding my ideal position a painless and rewarding process. Unlike other recruiters I have worked with, NRG really took the time to consider my career objectives, offering feedback and guidance that ensured my next step was the right one.
