I was looking for a job for the first time in a long time and was seeking some advice on how best to position myself in the North East market. Ben really helped me with my thought processes on this and I look forward to seeing what he comes up with.

I have been amazed by the proactive level of support from Nigel Wright. I only hear from recruiters when they have a job to speak about, so it is very rare to find recruiters that take the time meet face-to-face with their candidates. Nigel Wright does this and it has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Ben Debnam and his team over the past year. I would recommend this recruiter and the team to any applicant and employer.

Ben from Nigel Wright was nothing less that extraordinary. Ben's follow up and support on my current applications stems out from what I felt was the overall service you would normally get from Nigel Wright. It felt natural to them to go above and beyond. I am grateful for their time and effort in making my experience with them very pleasant.

Very professional service provided by Ben. In particular, I was impressed with the relevance of guidance offered regarding the recruiting company and being kept up to date with the progress of the assignment.

Excellent, prompt communication throughout the process. Extremely helpful in interview preparations and fantastic at following up.

Keeping in mind that the core service requirement is always delivered, the best thing about Nigel Wright is ensuring cultural fit between candidate and client.

Nigel Wright take candidates just as seriously as clients. Senior roles are approached with an efficient manner, knowing that executives are not always gifted with much spare time during office hours! Ben was particularly strong in this regard, ensuring calls were made when I had the time with which to deal with them and they were direct in style, which I appreciated.

Starting with the initial call with the consultant (Ben Debnam) and then as we moved through the process I was looked after very professionally. Regular feedback was provided, helpful suggestions and observations were offered in a relaxed and non-pushy manner. Everything was clear and managed well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel Wright.

An extremely professional organisation who invest the time to ensure the right candidates are put forward for appropriate roles which match the client's exact specification.

Very professional, great communication and knowledge of the industry.

Ben has been diligent and definitely stands out in terms of credibility for recruitment to the roles I am searching for.

I have received a first-class service from Ben; absolutely top drawer.

From the many experiences I had with recruitment agencies this one with Nigel Wright and Ben Debnam in particular was outstanding. They were precise, dedicated and extremely accommodating.
