Clients praise our housing recruitment expertise

Service Excellence is one of our core values and we work hard to ensure that we’re always improving how we deliver our services to both clients and candidates. Using feedback gathered from regular customer opinion surveys, we’re able to pinpoint what ‘excellent service’ looks like and use this information to develop ongoing training initiatives for consultants at all levels of our business.

This commitment to continuous improvement is a key reason why our Net Promoter Score (NPS), the internationally recognised metric for determining levels of customer satisfaction, positions us amongst the best organisations worldwide and ahead of other specialist housing recruitment agencies for customer loyalty. The feedback that we receive from clients helps to reinforce the data:

“Nigel Wright was recommended to me as the best recruiter for executive appointments. The strength of that recommendation, together with Nigel Wright’s extensive regional networks, is why we chose to partner with them on the CFO assignment. Our shortlist included people from the North East and Yorkshire. We’re delighted to attract such a high-calibre individual.”
CEO, Beyond Housing

The calibre of people we met during the interview process was excellent.”
