Working Life
We spend a lot of time at work, so what is it like here?
Well, the first thing you may want to know is: “Where is here?”
We have hybrid working that fits around each person’s personal work/life balance needs. So you can mix working from home with attending the office. We employ high performers and everyone lives our values, so we trust them to do what’s right.
That said, it’s vital that new starters – whatever their experience – spend most of their time in the office with their team. That’s the best way to experience our culture, work closely together, and learn our ways of working.
Creating a great place to work
Busy
Consultants make a lot of phone calls, meet many clients and candidates, and generate their own business. Consultants have monthly targets to achieve, based on their experience and tenure. Managers work closely with each Consultant to help them achieve this. Consultants focus on specific disciplines and/or sectors and locations, ensuring our clients and candidates always work with experienced and knowledgeable specialists. Personal development is at the top of everyone’s agenda. After all, Managers only succeed if their team succeeds.
Competitive
We are competitive bunch. We want to win – but in the right way. Not at the expense of our colleagues and never without taking a long term client perspective. Making mutually beneficial decisions between us and our clients is important. Maintaining client loyalty is always at the forefront of our minds. A few times a year we mix up teams for a business development day of competitions and prizes.
Communicative
It’s hard to keep everyone updated about everything all the time. People want to know different things. When it comes to internal communication, we use different methods in efforts to ensure everyone is kept up to date with what’s important, as frequently as is practical. Feedback from our colleagues says we’ve got it about right.
Teamwork
We believe our approach to teamwork makes us unique within the recruitment industry. And we do it because it works! We generate significant value by openly sharing knowledge, leads and contacts between all our people - within their team, between other teams, across offices and throughout our European network – every day.
Likeminded, enthusiastic colleagues make this a great place to work. This is how our people tell us they feel:
- I am comfortable approaching my Manager with a question or concern
- I am motivated to do my best
- I feel part of Nigel Wright Group
- I feel valued by my Manager
- I am inspired to fulfil my potential
- I feel valued at Nigel Wright Group
