What makes us different?
At Nigel Wright we aim to differentiate ourselves through the level of customer focus we offer to both our clients and our candidates. In essence, we believe in doing a thorough job, acting with integrity and bringing an objective and pragmatic approach to our work.
We take time to get to know our candidates, their experience and motivations. We focus on establishing why they are seeking a career move and understanding their skills and competencies. Our experienced consultants conduct a thorough assessment of candidates’ professional and personal qualities, as evidenced in their career history to date. We pay careful attention to our candidates’ aspirations and place great store in accurately matching these to opportunities as they arise.
We recognise that in non-profit organisations peoples’ motivations, goals and outlooks, may differ from those involved in mainstream private sector businesses. This understanding is reflected throughout all aspects of our work where we recognise that management style and cultural fit can be just as important as technical ability.
Our ethos applies equally to developing an understanding our clients and their specific needs. We strongly believe that a close working relationship, where we appreciate the vision, culture and people in our clients’ organisations, significantly enhances our ability to select the most appropriate candidates. When presenting candidates’ to our clients, we ensure that they are given a balanced, honest and unbiased view highlighting both strengths and areas for exploration and development. Our ultimate aim is to be a trusted advisor to our clients, recognised for the quality and rigour of the work we undertake and the outcomes we deliver.
The combination of our market knowledge, approach to candidate management, access to an extensive candidate database and ability to offer a full search and selection service, differentiates us from our competitors.
Who we recruit
Our team recruits at all levels from chief executive down and we are able to evidence our track record across this range. Although we regularly recruit to a wide range of roles, we have particular strength in corporate services and related disciplines and consider ourselves to be leaders in this field.

Testimonials
We selected Nigel Wright through a competitive process to undertake the recruitment of our next Chief Executive. Although some other firms were seen as specialists in our sector, Nigel Wright’s pragmatic approach, enthusiasm and commitment stood out, along with a clear understanding of what it means to recruit to senior roles in the North East. Our experience throughout the process lived up to our expectations, not only resulting in an excellent appointment for us, but also first class customer service throughout. I would recommend Nigel Wright without reservation.
