Flawless. The team are an absolute pleasure to work with. They take the time to get to know their candidates and clients in order to find the right match.

Friendly, efficient and professional service. Timely communications and an all-round first class experience.

Nigel Wright provided an excellent service to Draeger; myself, the MD and Regional Heads were all very impressed with the level of knowledge and specialist skills demonstrated during the project. The brief was presented very well, sense checked with us and the results were two very strong candidates to choose from. The consultant went over and above their duties in terms of taking calls, ensuring the candidate was very well versed with Draeger and liaising with myself out of hours in times of need. They immediately built a rapport with our internal team and for the time they were working with us, it was as though they were a Draeger employee. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel Wright to work on a brief.

Elaine was excellent: personable, listened and actively understood what the right kind of role was and was really responsive when we moved into feedback stages.

Highly professional service with every effort taken to understand my requirements for a future role and align them with the expectations of potential future employers. Excellent engagement at all stages of the process with clear communication.

Nigel Wright provided me with an excellent experience that was professional in every way. they understood me as a customer, providing great feedback to enable me to stand out as a candidate in the recruitment process.

The customer service, advice, communication and professionalism that I received from my consultant contact (Elaine Tulip-Johnson) was second to none. Best experience I've had with a recruitment consultant.

Great, friendly service in finding me a placement.

The consultant had a strong commitment to the project. She values time commitments and deadlines, and always followed up with me within the committed time period. She also took the initiative to communicate when there was any deviation from the planned dates. I truly appreciate her professionalism.

Nigel Wright and more specifically Elaine Tulip-Johnson has reinstalled my faith in recruitment consultants. I must say their care, attention, knowledge and pure-professionalism has been a pleasure to witness. There are so many so-called recruitment specialists, especially more so since the growth of social media. Nigel Wright are by far the best. Dealing with the team and especially Elaine has been a phenomenal experience.

I could not recommend Nigel Wright enough; their staff are very warm and welcoming and were very knowledgeable about the sector that I work in. They gained a thorough grasp of the type of role I was looking for. Overall, a very positive experience.

You are the only recruitment agency I have contacted that took the time to call me back about a position, discuss the position with me and then make a courtesy call back to update me on the process. That personal approach sadly is not a norm and very much appreciated.

Elaine was superb and really took the time to understand my skills, experience and work aspirations to then support me in finding the right role. It was clear Elaine has a lot of experience and was able to offer honest advice.

Excellent service right the way through the recruitment process.

Incredibly open and honest feedback with regards to where the process was up to, and the guidance was really great. I felt supported throughout.

Elaine has been a great support from start to finish. She kept me up to date with every development, gave great advice re tailoring my CV and her insight into the organisation allowed me to prepare for interview in the best possible way. I am delighted to have been appointed into my new role, and am very grateful for Elaine's support and guidance getting me to the yes!

Elaine was excellent: personable, listened and actively understood what the right kind of role was and was really responsive when we moved into feedback stages.

Very good communication and support throughout.

I have nothing but positive feedback for Nigel Wright and the service that they provided throughout my recruitment process, the team were helpful whenever I called and no queries were left unanswered. Elaine provided the best level of service that I have experienced from a recruiter, at first I was surprised by her attentiveness. Firstly the feedback loop between myself and the company after each interview was very efficient which took the stress out of waiting. Additionally the coaching and advice given was balanced and had obviously been well considered and tailored to me. Previous experiences have left me feeling pressured and ultimately as a cash cow, Nigel Wright was completely different. I have already extolled their virtues to friends and family.

Very friendly, approachable and professional.

Nigel Wright was professional and efficient, dealing with my questions quickly and with attention to detail and transparency. They demonstrated that they valued both me as a candidate, and my potential (and now actual) employer. Thank you!

Elaine has been excellent in terms of communication and overall professionalism. Having secured an interview at short notice, Elaine went on to facilitate a speedy turnaround with the recruiting organisation in terms of issuing an offer of employment within 24 hours. Fantastic service and would without hesitation recommend to a friend or colleague.

Elaine contacted me to offer her services, contacting potential employers on my behalf. She understood what kind of roles I was looking for and contacted potential employers speculatively. She came back to me quickly with an update and we're moving forward with a positive result from her proactive approach.

I was contacted about a potential role and got a very good feel for the position from talking to my consultant, Elaine. She was in touch regularly throughout the process and even after the role was offered and signed, she checked in to make sure I had everything sorted and to wish me good luck the week I started. Best experience I've had with a recruitment agency.

Elaine tulip Johnson was fantastic. She was in contact with me on a regular basis, Provided me with as much information required, took time out to meet me and helped me throughout the interview process. I have already recommended Elaine to friends who in need of a career change.

Great contact from Elaine who was very attentive during a review of my CV and listened closely to the progression I was looking for.

Most professional and efficient from the outset. Really helpful in taking the time out to understand our recruitment needs and providing a good calibre of CVs for us to review and fill our posts quickly. Very proficient and efficient service.

Elaine was very engaging, upfront and honest. My skills didn't really suit any current vacancies, but it was a warm, genuine process regardless. Well done Elaine, they have a good one in you.

Very helpful and thorough staff who always personalise the service given to each client and make me feel they are supporting me every step of the way.

Thorough and supportive experience going to great lengths for you to succeed.

Efficient, friendly and professional. A first class experience.

Elaine was incredibly supportive throughout the entire recruitment process. Going above and beyond my expectations to research into certain things required for my start date and always communicating with me on every aspect. A massive thank you to Elaine.

I find Elaine really engaging and easy to talk to. She understands what I'm looking for.

During an uncertain time, Elaine was absolutely fantastic. She gave me excellent feedback every step of the way, always keeping me updated on what was happening from first contact through to job offer. She was really easy to talk to which helped me through a stressful time and her advice and support were invaluable.

Elaine was brilliant from start to finish. Kept me well informed and provided me with as much support as I required.

Fabulous communication from both Elaine and Chris who matched me perfectly to my dream role.
