Clients praise our sales executive search capabilities

Service Excellence is one of our core values and a key factor underpinning our reputation as a leading executive sales recruitment agency. To ensure that our service standards remain consistently high, we survey our clients and use their feedback to inform consultant training and development opportunities, as well as ask them to rate our service using the Net Promoter Score (NPS) system.

We’re happy to highlight how our annual NPS positions us amongst the world’s leading and award-winning brands for customer service delivery. It also demonstrates that our levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty are typically higher than other sales search firms. As you can see from the examples below, the type of feedback that we receive from our clients helps to reinforce the data:

“McBride has used Nigel Wright Group to recruit several high-calibre candidates into senior-level roles over the last few years including a group quality director and a UK sales director. The service provided by the consultants is excellent. They are all knowledgeable and efficient operators, who constantly exceed our expectations to ensure our business needs are met.”
HR Manager, McBride

“Nigel Wright has found high-calibre candidates for several roles in our sales organisation, including the sales director position. Their consultants are experts who only ever put forward people with the necessary sales experience and/or sales management credentials that we require for each vacancy. They are our go-to sales recruitment agency.”
Managing Director UK & Ireland, Premier Tech

“Silent Pool required a global sales director to grow our business outside of the UK. We selected Nigel Wright to lead this critical search assignment based on its drinks industry expertise and extensive consumer sector networks. Our consultant took the time to get to know our business and used this insight to deliver a successful recruitment process.”
Director, Silent Pool Distillers
