Nigel Wright ranked as North East’s top recruiter

Nigel Wright Group, a global recruitment firm headquartered in Newcastle, has retained its place in the annual UK Recruiter Hot 100.

The company are the only North East headquartered company to be listed.

In the most recent list compiled by Recruiter Magazine in conjunction with Agile Intelligence and The Guardian, Nigel Wright was placed 90th among a host of other recruiters that have performed strongly during the past 12 months.

The ranking is based on independently researched data from over 700 companies with more than 20 staff and an annual turnover of over £1.5million.

Nigel Wright has a history with the Hot 100, appearing in the list during six of the last seven years. As in previous entries, the business is the top performing recruitment company headquartered in the North East.

Nigel Wright, which recently celebrated its second best ever month in its twenty-six year history, has already added 38 new consultants to its UK and international divisions this year to manage increased demand for its services.

Its plans to grow haven’t yielded however, and the business is still seeking to add a number of new people to its UK division, with opportunities currently available at all levels in Newcastle, Aberdeen and London.

Nigel Wright CEO Paul Wilson said:“We’re delighted to once again be included in the Recruiter Hot 100.

“The UK recruitment market is highly competitive and, with the economy turning to growth, the last 12 months in particular have seen an increase in demand for recruiters in every industry sector.

“Our inclusion in this year’s list is therefore even more special as it highlights that businesses continue to trust us above others to deliver the best results.”
