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.

     
    Placed as Senior Digital Analyst at Royal Opera House

    The Strategy Pulse | June 2026: The Org Design Reckoning

    May was about execution: whether companies can actually deliver on their strategies. June is a harder question. Before you can execute, your structure has to allow it. And right now, a lot of organisations are discovering that it doesn't.

    The Sharp End Skills, stories & signals shaping tomorrow’s teams Edition 9 — June 2026

    Over the past eight editions, we have covered a lot of ground. Retrainability. AI literacy. The power shift. Integration. Non-linear careers. Each one has been about adapting — becoming more visible, more connected, more legible to a market in motion. This month, a different question. Not what you need to become. But what it takes to last. Because the strategists who fade are rarely the ones who stopped trying. They are the ones who kept trying — furiously, visibly, permanently — in the wrong direction.
