"In line with our continued transformation we asked NRG to help us appoint two Non-Executive Directors to complement our existing Board members, and who would crucially share our Trust values and a passion for continuous improvement.We were keen to identify people likely to engage and inspire our staff, as well as work as part of a strong executive & non executive leadership team. Across two separate projects we asked NRG to explore candidates with experience within senior clinical leadership to drive improvements to the quality of care we deliver to our patients; and ii) within human resources with knowledge of transformational change involving staff across a large organisation.NRG assembled strong shortlists in relation to both roles and helped with a virtual interview and assessment process due to the government restrictions in place at the time. We are pleased to say that the Trust were able to appoint high calibre candidates across both roles."

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 NRG was a pleasure! After our initial meeting to understand our requirements we were confident that we would only receive CV’s for the right candidates for True Potential. During the process we were kept fully updated by NRG - the process ran smoothly resulting in us getting the right candidate for the position.
