Testimonials

I've worked with Context Recruitment for a number of years now. They constantly deliver high quality candidates and have a pretty unique ability to listen to the subtle qualities required of a role and reflect them well in the options presented. One further point that appeals strongly to me is that I feel very comfortable scoping out a role, knowing they will give me honest advice, and not dress it up in a way that would make a sale more likely. Five stars....

Kevin Ives

Digital Transformation Director, Arriva PLC

Nick is a credit to his profession - just the kind of guy you would want to find you the right candidate or the right job. His skills stretch well beyond technology - he really "gets" the fact that technology is not an end in itself, and that business change is what ultimately creates value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to clients who are looking for a recruiter who stands out from the crowd.

Paul Gourd

Programme Manager, Virgin

Nick and his team have recently helped us to successfully recruit for a permanent position within our team as we were looking to fill the vacancy of a Financial Modeller with very strong IT skills. The process has been lengthy predominantly because of the niche set of skills required for this position but Nick and his team have been critical in sending us relevant candidate details to review and expedited the process significantly. I would wholeheartedly recommend Context Recruitment for similar type placements and we would happily be working again with them in the future.

George Stagakis

Head of Financial Modelling, Arriva UK Trains

Nick is not your average recruiter, Nick makes sure that the person is suitable to the role and that both future employee and employer get the best value out of the match. A true professional with great attentive nature and attention to detail enabling a quick decision and outcome. I found him engaging, supportive and knowledgeable. Seeking employment was supposed to be stressful and tough, for me, thanks to Nick it was joyful and speedy. I wish Nick and his team the very best in the future.

Polly Robertson

Project Manager placed at Arriva UK Trains

Nick is a consummate professional recruiter/agent. I have worked as a contractor for 20 years and would rank Nick's engagement in the top 5% I have experienced over that time. I found him to be knowledgeable, engaging, effective and supportive throughout the duration of the contract. I look forward to working with Nick again in the future.

Context Recruitment have proven themselves to be a very knowledgeable industry resource partner, with a strong capability and a commitment to service that is rare in my experience of recruitment agencies. I have no hesitation in recommending Context Recruitment as a trusted recruitment partner.

Martin Gibson

Group Head of IT Services, Abellio

Context Recruitment have been professional from the outset and are quite different from many within their industry. They offer a highly consultative, professional and thorough approach to recruitment and their passion and knowledge of UK rail is clear. Highly recommended.

Richard Noyle

Head of IT, First Group

I work with a lot of external recruiters and sadly the overall responsiveness, quality of candidates and real value they bring is often questionable. Context Recruitment however restored my faith. They took the time to understand our business and were able to screen candidates sufficiently well that it was rare that we felt the need to reject any CV they put forward. Clear communication and a super fast turn-around on roles meant that we usually had an interview lined up through Context before the other agencies had even shared an initial set of CVs. Can’t recommend enough
