We Can Find Exceptional Leaders For Your SME or Start-Up

SMEs are the engine-room of the economy. Yet many fail to achieve their full potential because they can’t affordably recruit the senior talent they need. Traditional executive search firms aren’t much help; geared-up to support major corporates, they move too slowly and cost too much for a typical SME.

That’s why we have developed our SME recruitment service. Designed for start-up’s and early phase growth businesses with a turnover of up to £5m. We offer all the tools and techniques which the biggest employer brands enjoy…but in a flexible package which is highly cost-effective for SMEs.

The key to the service is its scalability. Companies can have as much or as little support as they need. We offer a range of flexible and highly cost effective pricing options specifically designed and tailored for SMEs. This includes the option of a fixed fee.

SME Success Stories

Robert Woolfson, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, EvoShave

“NJR provided EvoShave with a number of excellent candidates for two upper management positions (Global Sales Director and Head of Marketing) which we filled within a relatively short space of time. In any selection offered there were always at least two candidates who fulfilled all the requirements within the budgeted salary requirements. We found NJR easy and fair to work with and I would highly recommend them.”

Mark Cockburn, Managing Director Cambridge Economic Policy Associates

“We have used NJR on more than one occasion and have been impressed by their ability to find excellent candidates both quickly and cost-effectively.

We particularly like the fact that throughout the process we have the personal attention of one of NJR’s Directors who knows and understands our business and its culture.”

Catherine Senda, Managing Director, Curtin&Co

“NJR’s SME service took the brief quickly and provided the experience, calibre and personality of candidates we were looking for.”

James Alexander, CEO/Owner at Alexander Advertising

“As a director of an SME, I was hesitant to employ the services of a recruitment agency due to the costs usually associated with this route. I have been delighted with the service received and the candidates that were provided by Rex at NJR were of a far higher quality than I expected, many from some of the biggest companies in our sector. Just as important for us as an SME was the fixed rate pricing, it worked out much cheaper than it would have with traditional pricing policies, and we knew in advance the exact cost of the recruitment process.”

Nic Anderson, CEO, Grey Wolfe

“Grey Wolfe is an innovator in the Wellness Industry, but its growth was being held back by its inability to access the top quality executives which the business needed. We tried a number of avenues without success, until we discovered NJR’s SME Service. Working directly with Graham, one of NJR’s Senior Directors, we were quickly provided with a shortlist of outstanding individuals, in a very short period of time, for 2 crucial roles. NJR’s SME service is excellent, with a very personal and responsive service that really delivers on its promise. Highly recommended for any early stage or scaling business!”

Daryl Stickland, Director

Daryl decided to focus on working with SMEs in 2010 at the same time as establishing his first Non-Executive Director Practice as there was clear synergy – ambitious SMEs wanted profitable growth and sometimes an exit strategy too and the NEDs he networked with knew how to achieve this – to create and realise value for owner managers – having done so themselves.

Considered an expert at identifying the right candidate FIT for an organisation – which in an SME can be a truly crucial consideration! Clients have varied in size from start-up and have operated across diverse sectors, such as Phlexglobal (SaaS), RDT (MedTech) and Encase (Manufacturing).

“Working with entrepreneur led businesses is the most personally fulfilling engagement, particularly over a period of time and numerous executive hires, as you can see the company and team develop. This feeling is only topped by the pride of knowing I’ve contributed to a successful exit for an entrepreneur, creating significant wealth as a result. Getting the right people in the right seats definitely helps!”
