"From the moment that Scot at NRG contacted me about the potential NED opportunity the support was second to none! He briefed me on the role, what they were looking for and why he had thought of me, kept me clearly updated at each step of the recruitment process and was supportive and encouraging in helping me prepare. The selection process was itself enjoyable and gave me a good understanding of the role and culture of the organisation. Consequently, there were no surprises when I took up the position. I would trust Scot to support me again as a candidate for Executive or Non-Executive roles – I feel that he has a good understanding of what a client is looking for and is honest and open in matching that with what candidates can offer and their motivation so as to ensure a win-win!"
