Most recruiters will represent you. Few will really understand what you do. Nicholson Glover specialises in insight, strategy, data, and product, and only those disciplines. We’ve spent years building relationships across insight agencies, strategy consultancies, brand and design firms, data businesses, and corporate strategy teams. So we know what good looks like in these markets.

  • We can tell you where you stand, honestly

    Because we understand these markets properly, we can give you a realistic picture of how clients will see your profile: where you’re a strong fit, where you might face friction, and what’s worth pursuing. That’s more useful than being told everything looks great.

     

  • We know what's coming before it's advertised

    We speak to hiring teams across our specialist sectors every day. We hear about roles early, often before they’re live, and we know which opportunities are genuinely right for someone with your background.

     

  • We brief clients on you, not just your CV

    A CV shows career history. We explain why someone is the right person for a specific role. The context, the capability, the trajectory. Clients who work with us regularly trust that framing, because we’ve earned it over time.

     

  • We stay close to the market so you don't have to

    Salary benchmarks, skills in demand, which firms are growing and which are contracting. We track this continuously across our four disciplines. When you talk to us, you get that intelligence, not a generic market overview.

     

Our Clients.

  • I’ve been working with Rudy for a few years and can definitely recommend him. Very professional, great at understanding my recruitment needs and really easy/nice to work with. He is also very flexible and responsive, which makes the recruitment process very seamless.

     
    Placed at Innocent Drinks as Global Head of Insight

  • Francis was brilliant in helping me find a new position, so much so I have already recommended him and would do again in future. He is confident, knowledgeable and keen and clearly has strong relationships with great employers.

     
    Placed at Walgreens Boots Alliance as Research Manager

  • An absolutely fantastic experience! Francis and Rudy were both supportive, proactive, engaging, and gave me lots of information about the companies and roles I was interested in – which really helped with interview prep. The whole process was quick and straightforward, and within 2-3 weeks I had an offer and start date.

     
    Placed at C Space as Senior Consultant

  • Just wanted to drop you a (very late) note to show my appreciation regarding the employment process with Discovery. You are a fantastic recruiter and I am grateful to have been in contact with you.

     
    Placed at Discovery as Insight Analyst

  • Will continued to stay in contact and support me with the onboarding process, a part so regularly ignored by other recruiters. I have no hesitation in recommending Will, he has a natural talent for finding the right individuals and matching them to a job they’ll genuinely enjoy.

    The Strategy Pulse | May 2026: The Execution Gap

    Welcome to May's Strategy Pulse. For the past two years, strategy has been dominated by one question: are you using AI? Boards asked it. Investors asked it.

    The Sharp End Skills, stories & signals shaping tomorrow’s teams Edition 8 — May 2026

    Last month we looked at the integrator: the strategist who creates value by connecting functions that weren't designed to speak to each other. This month, a harder question. If that kind of work is increasingly where the value sits — lateral, relational, cross-functional — why does it so rarely appear on a job title, a pay band, or a performance review?

    A job search can feel like a full-time job. Finding the time, on top of the full-time occupation you are trying to leave, can be hard work. We put in the hours for you.
