NRG are my first go to when looking to recruit for IT members of staff. Working with NRG has been a pleasure, they understood the role requirements immediately and sourced us an excellent candidate who is now an invaluable member of staff. I would not hesitate in recommending NRG, they delivered where other companies had failed to do so.

Working with Catherine this year has been fantastic. In particular I had a non-standard Payroll & HR Systems Manager role to fill and knew it would be tricky finding a candidate with technical expertise who would also be a strong fit into the team and culture. The candidates selected by Catherine were all of a really high calibre and that's testament to the time she took to really understand the business and listen to what we needed. Not all recruiters do this and it was a pleasure to see. We couldn't be happier with our latest team member and don't know how we managed before she joined.

"Following early retirement from my chief executive job, my aim was to find a non-executive role, in a values driven organisation which would offer me new learning opportunities and challenges. Scot’s commitment to finding me my ideal role went above and beyond my expectations. He took the time to understand me as an individual and my previous experience to find that perfect role.Amazingly, the non exec role that he matched me with, was not just the right fit for me but (I hope) for the organisation that I joined also. It was the first time that I had been through a non-exec recruitment process and my experience of recruitment consultants had been that they tend to be quite remote. Scot isn’t like that, he really impressed me because he is someone that will always make himself available to you and he makes you feel like he’s looking out for you – thank you Scot!"
