Who we are

Nicholson Glover is a specialist recruitment firm. We place insight, strategy, data, and product professionals globally: with agencies, consultancies, corporate teams, and venture-backed businesses. We’ve been doing it since 2002, which means we know these markets in a way that takes years, not months, to build.

 

Where we started

Nicholson Glover was founded in 2002 by Francis Nicholson and Alice Glover, just after the dot-com bubble burst and both found themselves without an employer. They did what the best entrepreneurs do: turned a difficult moment into something worth building.

The business started from a kitchen table, with a phone, a clear focus on research and insight, and a belief that recruitment worked best when it was honest, human, and built on genuine knowledge of a market.

 

Where it’s going

That focus has expanded over the years. Research and insight grew to include data and analytics, then strategy, then product and innovation. But the approach hasn’t changed.

In 2017, Rudy Fernando became a shareholder after working his way up through the business. Today, Francis and Rudy lead the company together. The consulting team covers all four of NG’s core disciplines.

 

What we believe

We  believe specialist knowledge produces better outcomes than volume. That means understanding a market deeply enough to know who the strong people are, not just who’s available. It means being straight with clients about what’s realistic and straight with candidates about where they stand. And it means staying close to the same communities over years, not just when there’s a role to fill.

 

What drives us

  • Care

    We treat people like people, not pipeline.

     

  • Clarity

    We’re honest about what we know, what we think, and what we’d do in your position.

     

  • Connection

    We build relationships that outlast individual placements. Many of our clients and candidates have worked with us across multiple roles and years.

     

  • Curiosity

    We ask better questions because better questions lead to better matches.
