Archie's Experience Summary

5 stars all the way. I was given a personal recommendation by my best friend to contact you when I was made redundant earlier this year. I initially came to your office with another friend, who was apprehensive about the whole agency idea to enrol for work where we first met. You were both welcoming, reassuring and got both my friend and me temporary contracts in the blink of an eye. You have checked in with me periodically to make sure everything was ok, and I had no issues, and I was happy with the company I was with. You have made the process painless and easy, as what seemed a scary world, especially for an older person, in worrying if they would find another job. You have been reassuring and a pleasure to work alongside.

The service I received from Archie and the wider Nigel Wright team in 2025 was superb. Having dealt with a number of recruitment agencies whilst job-hunting I have always found Nigel Wright to be head and shoulders above the rest. Archie was able to demonstrate a level of expertise in his field and whilst remaining professional at all times still found the time to be personable, interested and genuinely caring in me as a person. I felt heard and understood and communications were always swift. Archie was available to speak to and made the time to do so, which is greatly appreactiated in this growing climate of it being nigh-on impossible to speak to a human. I would like to extend my gratutide and appreciation to Archie and Nigel Wright for their continuing high standards and top-notch service.

Archie Stokes at Nigel Wright has been a superstar! After coming out of an awful situation, Archie placed me in a temporary payroll post which helped me rebuild my confidence in my payroll skills and allowed to heal with a wonderful new company. Without his unwavering support I would not have returned to payroll and not have my current permanent role, with the same company, learning new skills in accounts. I can’t thank Archie and the team enough, for their time and effort getting me back on my feet and looking forward to work each day. Archie Stokes has been amazingly helpful and supportive, he placed me in temporary contract that help reassure me of my payroll and pensions skills after a bad experience. The temporary payroll contract has a now turned in to a finance assistant contract with the same company.

Thanks for the support. You do an incredible job of knowing our business, my needs and placing excellent candidates time and time again through routine catch ups and open communication.

You’re amazing and supportive and you never give up. You’re approachable and friendly. I love the fact you still check in even though I have a long term placement. Thank you for all the support.

I would like to say a big thank you, you are always there on hand to help me especially in my time of need, you have worked quick, listened to what I need and come up with a suitable candidate, this in turn has made me feel valued as a client.

The service I’ve received from you has been top notch. At every step of the way you’ve had my best interests at heart, both professional and personal, with no pressure to just fill a role. It has always been about making sure the fit is right on both sides and supporting me at every stage of the journey. The key take away from me is that you’ve taken the time to understand what’s important to me, where I am on my professional journey and what I’m looking for and nothing has ever been a problem to discuss with yourself.

I am extremely grateful for the support given from Archie Stokes. He responded very fast to our request and delivered a high quality payroll professional. He is easy to talk to and gets the brief first time. Archie also has great knowledge of the markets and candidates he represents. He also supported one of our international managers and delivered a great impression. I am impressed by his customer focus and would have no hesitation to ring Archie with any further business. Many thanks Archie!

I’ve honestly been reflecting on how grateful I am for your support. From our first conversation through to securing the role, you were outstanding. You took the time to truly understand me, my experience, and what I was looking for, and that made the whole journey feel personal rather than transactional. Your guidance, encouragement, and clear communication at every stage gave me confidence, especially at points where the process could have felt daunting. Knowing you were in my corner, offering honest advice and reassurance, made a huge difference. I genuinely don’t think the outcome would have been the same without your commitment and belief. I’m incredibly thankful to you and to Nigel Wright for helping me take this next step in my career. It’s been a pleasure working with you, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly cares about the people they represent.

I am happy to say you are a professional, friendly, and personable consultant. It has been a pleasure to collaborate in role finding.

I would like to say a big thank you for your help and support throughout this process. I feel I have been constantly updated on any changes as they have happened and have been contacted and kept in the loop at all stages. A great service from you and would definitely work with Nigel Wright again in the future.

The whole process was easy and efficient. Accurate information shared about the role, good communication throughout the hiring process and after. All payments made correctly and on time.

I have found you to be extremely professional in all our communications (verbal & by email). You have been very understanding of my situation in relation to personal priorities & this has been very much appreciated. You have been in regular contact to touch base to identify if my circumstances have changed & been clear that you are happy to assist when I am available for placements. Overall, it has been a pleasure having the opportunity to connect with you. Looking forward to being able to work together again.

With regards to the service and the placements Archie has worked on, I can honestly say that he has always provided a high quality and professional service. Receiving regular communication from Archie, I was always kept up to date at every step of the process. Although we had a very specific fixed term position to fill, he found us the ideal candidate who is now a full-time permanent employee.

Both candidates continue to be excellent and golden finds. I’m conscious that I’m terrible at returning your calls, happily the same cannot be said of you! Overall, I’m very happy with both you and Nigel Wright, and I look forward to working with you next year.

You are extremely helpful and always manage to find me strong candidates, very quickly. You are very easy to talk to and feel like you understand the team dynamics and the fit to the team. I appreciate all your hard work for the team and me.

I am extremely grateful for all of the support and professionalism that you have shown me throughout this year. I believe you did an amazing job and deserve a lot of praise. As before, I’d like to personally thank you for all of your hard work.
