I've discussed a couple of good roles with Luke Collard but unfortunately, they did not lead to a job offer. However, I appreciate the effort that has been taken to research these roles and my suitability for them. I'm most impressed. Hopefully this time and effort will ultimately be rewarded, for both of us.
Luke was extremely helpful and professional. He helped me every step of the way, I couldn't thank him enough. I got an amazing job within less than two weeks. Highly recommended! Top service!
Luke is honest and approachable and an asset to his organization in fostering and managing good relationships. He builds a rapport with a personal touch without going straight into matching a position. While discussing my current position, experience and needs Luke considered who I am. His thoughtful approach ensures a balanced conversation and understanding for both the person and the organisation so a candidate is fully appraised of role requirements. He does not oversell a prospect of a role to just secure a candidate into a position but has clearly ensured to have done his research to give an honest and open view. I would recommend and trust Luke to recruit roles for an organisation who are seeking to provide well informed candidates prior to interview and to candidates who are looking for appropriate roles and be supported throughout the recruitment process and beyond.

Friendly and understanding
Luke Collard was fantastic in finding me my first job straight out of university. He was extremely professional, very friendly and a great help.

Excellent recruiters, the most professional I've come across in my job search.
Excellent service, good communication from knowledgeable recruiters.
Nigel Wright is one of the recruitment companies that I wouldn't hesitate to contact again if I were to be searching for a new role. They are professional, courteous and I felt they had my best interests at heart in finding the right role and not just a job.
Professional thorough and expedient.
Luke took the time to review my CV in detail and go through this with me face to face. This allowed him to really pin point what kind of roles would be best suited to me. He also gained my agreement before putting me forward. I think that this approach suits both the candidate and the employer and was something that other recruiters that I had met did not do.
From the initial call, Luke was pleasant and professional. The client changed the interview time twice and this was handled well with apology and explanation. I only withdrew my application as I was offered a position elsewhere following an earlier interview, but I would happily use Nigel Wright again.
Professional and succinct - easy to talk to and converse with around potential opportunities.
Luke made my recruitment process easy. He was with me every step of the way, making sure I understood and felt confident with everything. Fantastic service. I will let my friends and colleagues know who to go to if they are looking for a new challenge in the future!
Luke Collard provided exceptional service helping me to apply for the role that I've just secured. I don't think I would have secured the role if it wasn't for Luke. I was worried that I might not have the skills required for the job, but Luke was very reassuring and explained the job specification and employer's expectations to me in a way that was more realistic. There were 3 stages to the application. Luke rang me at each stage to ensure that I was preparing for the right things and gave me little pieces of advice for handling my nerves, making sure the interviewer gets a good feel for my skills and personality, etc. It speaks for itself that this is the only job that I applied for and I got the job. 1 application, 1 contract received. This is how it should always be! Thanks for your help, Luke.
I had been looking for an ideal new position for a while, and Luke Collard came up trumps, matching me perfectly with my new employer.

Luke kept me informed with timely updates and managed my expectations and queries with the potential employer professionally to ensure agreement on both sides so we could complete and secure new job for me.
Contacted about many suitable opportunities. Plenty of contact before and after interviews.
