No matter what shape your requirement, NRG Recruitment will find a perfect fit.
When it comes to recruiting, you can’t beat experience.
Take NRG Recruitment in Newcastle for example. They started life in 1976 as Geordie Job Finders. Since then, the company has steadily grown and is now recognised as one of the leading recruitment agencies in the country.
The majority of their recruitment is located here in the North East, placing talent into some of the most sought-after roles in Tech, Digital Marketing, HR&D, Accountancy & Finance and Business Support. Northern Recruitment Group, more commonly known as NRG, also has an Executive Search and Selection team who work with clients to deliver Senior Leadership, Board, Non-Executive Director and Chair appointments.
They recognise that exceptional employees are the driving force behind every successful organisation, and work hard to place great people in great businesses, ensuring a technical, cultural and behavioural fit every time.
Which is where experience really counts because NRG will quickly recognise what you’re looking for and, crucially, they know how to find it.
Take Managing Director James Carss for example. He worked closely with the company’s founder Lorna Moran before moving abroad to work in Hong Kong and Canada for the next 15 years…all of them in recruitment.
“It was a fascinating time for me because I saw how the recruitment process operates in different countries but also realised that a lot of those processes would apply to the UK,” said James. “I always kept in touch with Lorna and she eventually persuaded me to return to Newcastle and rejoin the company as a director which, by then, was now known as NRG. I became the MD in 2021, at the mid-point of COVID. Needless to say that overnight the recruitment landscape changed dramatically…and that change is continuing thanks to new work practices and the rise of new industries, especially those in the digital field. But one thing hasn’t changed, and that is NRG’s rich heritage in the recruitment industry and an unrivalled reputation for our in-depth market insight and solution-focused capabilities UK-wide.”
It’s interesting to see how NRG has developed to become more focussed on working to find recruits at executive and board level. This was always a strong area for NRG so they’ve built upon that success and now work extensively filling roles at mid to senior level including CEO, CFO and MD.
“The fields of IT and Digital are a particularly strong area for us at NRG,” adds James. “The North East has become a hub for start-up IT businesses, digital marketing, computer game design and development, and our recruitment expertise reflects that while continuing to be strong in recruitment for traditional roles like finance and HR. We’re also seeing what we call boomerang recruitment. This is when we bring talent back to the North East. I suppose that I’m a classic example having been born and bred in the North East, worked abroad and in London for 15 years, but came home in 2016.”
Oh…and talking of home…NRG has a new home. They’ve recently moved from their offices in the centre of Newcastle to the Quorum Business Park in Longbenton. It gives more space to their 70 staff, the majority of whom have now returned to full time office work rather than working from home. Recruitment is a people business and NRG have shown that when people mix in an office, ideas and contacts spread quickly…especially when you have an experienced team who can help.
It’s also worth pointing out that while NRG specialises in finding talent to fill particular roles
in other words, if a company is looking to appoint someone, all they need to do is contact NRG and let them do the searching for you…but In 2017 NRG launched the volume recruitment side of the business as a separate brand called greenbean.
Greenbean operates as an in-house recruitment agency for those firms looking to fill multiple roles on a regular basis.
NRG still represents the client but on smaller, often very specialised recruitment requirements.
So, do you need help with your recruitment?
The best idea is to speak to James and the team at NRG. They’ve got the experience to quickly set wheels in motion. They may even have someone on their books who can step into the role you’re looking for at short notice.
