Clients praise our chief executive recruitment capabilities
Fulfilling chief executive search mandates requires delivering consistently high standards of customer service. Service Excellence is one of our core values and by gathering regular feedback from customers, we’re able to pinpoint what ‘excellent service’ looks like to them and use that information to inform ongoing training and development initiatives for consultants in our business.
This commitment to continuous improvement is a key reason why our annual Net Promoter Score (NPS), the internationally recognised metric for determining levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty, positions us amongst the best companies worldwide and head of other recruiters for CEO positions when it comes to overall service quality. The feedback that we receive reinforces the data:
“We engaged Nigel Wright Group to help us hire a new CEO with international experience for Cav Ice Protection, a high-technology precision engineering business in our investment portfolio. The consultant was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the search and managed the process (both our side and the client side) really well.”
