Our culture

Most people’s experience of recruiters, as candidates, as hiring managers, isn’t great. Chased when there’s a role, ignored when there isn’t. Oversold on opportunities. Unsupported through the process.

We built Nicholson Glover to be the opposite of that. A recruitment business that operates with honesty, that invests in long-term relationships over quick placements, and that genuinely knows the markets it works in. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to with clients and candidates, and it’s the standard we hold ourselves to internally too.

 
There are no rigid KPI dashboards or daily call counts. Your target is straightforward: build good relationships and make placements. How you get there is largely up to you. Consultants here handle client relationships from early in their careers, because we think that's how you develop quickly.
Training at NG comes directly from the directors, not a generic onboarding programme. Francis and Rudy are both still active in the market, working their own desks. When they teach, it's from current experience, not theory.
Commission at NG is genuinely competitive. Consultants have regularly made £50k in their first full year. The structure rewards performance clearly, and when things aren't going well, we look at the numbers together to help, not to manage people out.
A small, specialist team means everyone's success is shared. There are no internal politics around client ownership or candidate poaching. People here actually like each other, which sounds basic, but in recruitment, it isn't.

  • Great training given directly by both Directors, you get given great autonomy for very little experience (have the opportunity to handle client relationships from day one) and get to work with some of the biggest brands in the world.

     
    Rohan, Senior Consultant

  • Joining the NG team made me quickly realise that recruitment was not only the right job for me, but also provided me with the perfect environment to kick-start a successful career. Nicholson Glover has a rare and killer combination of a collaborative culture, an organic training program and strong client relationships.

     
    Cameron, Principal Consultant

  • Super friendly and collaborative work culture. Plenty of regular socials from charity fun runs to BNOs! A relatively flat structure where the directors are very hands-on, leading by example, whilst providing lots of training & support. Competitive commission structure with huge earning potential.

     
    Will, Senior Consultant

  • Great management and leadership who will treat you fairly. You have direct access to the directors and are encouraged to give feedback and make suggestions to improve the business. Great culture; fun loving people. Strong earning potential with their generous commission structure. If you want to work in recruitment and make money, but you’re not a meathead, this is the place for you.

     
    Dom, Consultant

  • I made £50k in my first full year as a consultant. Team’s really nice. Not KPI driven at all really. How much money you make in the year is the only target that’s important. If you’re not doing so well then they will look at KPIs more but that’s as much to help you as monitor you.
