Testimonials

NC Associates have supported us for a few years now, and they've always been incredibly pro-active and professional. What I like about them is that they really took the time to understand our business, it's needs and most importantly, our culture. Today, some of our best performers came to us thanks to NC Associates and I am extremely grateful to them for that. I very much look forward to continuing my relationship with NCA moving forward.

Before my interview, Mark took the time to take a train to meet up with me and give me a full brief on the company I was going to see. Not just the usual “go check out the website” speech you get from most agencies. It didn’t stop there though. On my first day at my new job, he sent me a message wishing me good luck, something I wish to him and everyone at NC Associates. Seriously, if you’re looking for an agency that actually cares about you, then NC Associates are the only ones you should be speaking to!

Wayne has successfully placed numerous quality candidates with us and has specific strength and expertise in the finance space. He is adept at understanding role briefs and is determined, tenacious and thorough in his approach.

Your team did an excellent job in finding appropriate contract staff when I needed them, despite a very limited number of suitably-qualified people being out there that would fit the available budget. I was kept informed throughout the process and regularly updated on progress as contractors worked through the stated assignment. The team showed a great understanding of their field and always dealt with me in a very polite and professional manner.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Rosie for helping me find my dream job. She was so easy to talk to and always kept her promises in terms of keeping me updated and ensured one of the team at NC Associates was there to support me in her absence. I didn’t feel like just another person and she took time to get to know me and what type of role I was looking for which was very refreshing! With other agencies you feel like just another CV but I always felt that Rosie was looking for roles for me. I would definitely recommend NC Associates to friends and family based on my experience and if I ever need to use an agency in the future I will certainly go back to NC Associates.

NC Associates helped us in sourcing a senior role within our finance function for our business. They provided a shortlist of candidates within a very short deadline which was fantastic! Their ability to quickly understand our business and how we work has been a credit to them. For future roles I know where we will be going.
