"I have worked with Daryl for 5 years and he has successfully recruited most of my UK team (even when he was one of several agents involved!). He has understood complex issues regarding my company very quickly, which has helped make our searches more efficient. His attention to detail and work ethos has been very notable. He takes time to meet and understand both his clients and candidates, unlike many larger consultancies. I can fully recommend Daryl for all your recruitment needs."

"Rex played a key role in running a successful talent pool campaign to identify, evaluate and appoint a number of senior finance roles at Legal & General. The assignment brief was challenging: timescales for delivery were tight and we had set a high quality bar for candidates' technical, as well as commercial skills standards. The brief was executed well and involved the delivery of rigorous assessment days. The days not only resulted in the selection of high quality recruits but also turned out to be a very effective and efficient use of the Legal & General senior management teams time."

"Rex has worked on 2 commissions I have been involved with. On both occasions he has managed and conducted thorough searches with a particular diligence. This combined with highly developed levels of perception, an acute awareness and great people skills has led to being presented with proper runners for the top level posts involved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will use his services again."

"Norrie has always been very responsive and on two occasions has provided a very rapid and professional service to identify high-quality leaders for Westinghouse.

I will continue to use Norrie for difficult positions when I need to move fast and guarantee quality."

"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."

"Daryl has placed a number of senior executives at RDT (recently acquired by Philips). I found Daryl to be attentive - he really listened to what we were looking for AND he was flexible to meet our requirements while the business was going though a significant growth period. I would highly recommend Daryl to anyone recruiting senior executives across all industries and hope to continue working with him for many years to come. "

The advice pre-Christmas was excellent, your first candidate was spot-on and of course, we are excited now at having our interim join our team. You've helped to make this process very straight-forward and uncomplicated and I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to others in the future. Thanks again."

"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 it's culture."

"I highly recommend Daryl for any recruitment services as his approach and process are top notch. He has a real knack for understanding people; their talents and experience, along with their needs in terms of culture and fit. He proactively keeps everyone updated and had great communication skills as well.
I have been on both sides of recruitment with Daryl, where he ran a process which resulted in me being head hunted into a role and later on when he recruited on our behalf. Both were extremely positive experiences."

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

"NJR have been outstanding. They truly went the extra mile to assemble a shortlist at short notice, working weekends to interview candidates speedily and arrange meetings on a Sunday. The resultant shortlist was of exceptional quality, any one of the five would have been appointable into the role. I would use NJR again without hesitation."

"It has been a pleasure to work with Norrie Johnston and his team. As ever they have demonstrated great professionalism in all aspects of client search, recruitment and placement.

"Great team to work with, excellent results, they understood the brief and found an ideal candidate for a tricky role. Thank you!"

"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."
