Our track record in account director recruitment

We’re proud to support a variety of organisations in our core sectors. Our clients include start-ups, SMEs and multinational companies operating in the industrial, consumer, digital & tech, and services sectors. Our consultants are equally capable of recruiting in-house account director positions, as they are in helping marketing agencies, etc. bolster their management teams with account director talent.

Clients praise our account director recruitment expertise

Service Excellence is one of our core values and we work hard to embed a service culture across our organisation. By gathering regular client and candidate feedback, we’re able to pinpoint what an excellent service looks like to our customers and then use that information to inform ongoing training and development opportunities for consultants working at all levels of our business.

This commitment to continuous improvement is a key reason why our Net Promoter Score (NPS) positions us amongst the best companies in the world and ahead of other account director recruitment agencies for customer satisfaction and loyalty. As you can see from the examples shared below, the type of feedback that we receive from our clients helps to reinforce the NPS data.

“During the recruitment process to hire a new account director, Nigel Wright Group’s consultant gave me some food for thought and altered my view of the type of person we needed for this position. It was a recruitment conversation unlike any other I’ve had before, and we’re so much better off for it. This is why Nigel Wright is such a great brand and thriving company.”
Managing Director, Cool Blue

“We had a good experience using Nigel Wright to help us recruit a new marketing manager and senior account director. The consultants are all extremely professional operators with an in-depth understanding of the specific needs of our organisation. They used this knowledge, as well as their strong networks, to find two candidates who are a great fit for our business.”
Senior Manager, eos

“Nigel Wright Group has recruited several roles for Fox’s Biscuits over the years including a sales director, a marketing manager, a brand manager, a health & safety coordinator, and various account leadership positions based out of our Kirkham site. After picking up the brief, the consultants always provide a very fast, effective, and professional service.”
Senior HR Manager, Fox’s Biscuits

“Every aspect of the service has been of the highest standard, from understanding our briefs to shortlisting candidates and managing offer negotiations. The Nigel Wright consultants are all helpful, professional, friendly, and efficient and always work closely with us to deal with issues. Thanks to them, we have recruited some highly skilled sales/account professionals.”
Managing Director, Nuby

“The Nigel Wright consultant provided me with some excellent candidates for the international customer development director role and made the recruitment process very efficient. They have been a pleasure to work with, and I have subsequently recommended them to other sales directors in my network who are currently seeking to hire new talent.”
Sales Director, Purity Soft Drinks

“We engaged Nigel Wright Group to help us hire a senior account director responsible for strategic key client management with a focus on improving digital performance. The consultant that led the search was brilliant to work with – always understanding and proactive, but never pushy. We’ve appointed an ideal candidate; I can't fault the service I received.”
Head of Client Services, Silverbean

Talent pool and employer brand solutions enhance our recruitment efforts

All types of businesses are experiencing skills gaps due to a multitude of converging factors such as an aging workforce and a lack of interest among younger workers in some career areas. As well as delivering traditional recruitment processes, we also offer talent pool solutions to clients seeking to overcome this challenge by building a database of highly skilled candidates to target for future roles.

We’re proud to play our part in building the workforce of the future. Promoting a client’s employer brand is a key aspect of this. Our internal marketing team provide several promotional services including producing candidate packs, microsites, and social and email marketing campaigns, all aimed at telling our clients’ stories, as well as advertising exciting new career opportunities.
