The power of a ‘no silos’ approach

With an established and integrated network of executive consultants and research teams, fluent in multiple languages, Nigel Wright has a unique offering in today’s market. We have built a vast amount of internal knowledge of our specialist sectors and disciplines, which continues to grow as we embark on new projects.

Our business also has no country restrictions and offers candidates and clients a national and global approach to search, by utilising teams across our network of offices, who work together to get the best results.

Nigel Wright is truly international, however, the business takes pride in being effective at the local level, within the countries and regions in which it operates. For Nigel Wright’s candidates, this means they have the benefit of the ‘no silos’ approach - once a candidate is identified and registered on the database they can be immediately represented in any of our markets across Europe and beyond.

This kind of seamless operating model isn’t prevalent among multinational executive search firms. Nigel Wright’s deep knowledge of its chosen markets, desire to deliver and ‘one team’ approach to sharing knowledge and information, means that the business is often selected as a search partner ahead of its competitors.

Executive Search in or outside Europe always requires exceptional market intelligence and Nigel Wright has consistently shown an ability to quickly understand territories and establish relevant networks to get results for its clients, retaining excellent standards of customer service.

Having the capacity to effectively source talent either ‘on the ground’ or bring in the best talent from around the world is essential to support our clients’ growth.
