What they say...

Alan has a refreshing approach to recruitment and business. His professionalism goes without saying. Alongside this, he brings a quiet humour, charm and pragmatism to the process. He’s also hard working and determined. As a client I really do sense that we are in it together with a common goal. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

COO, Naylor Industries Plc

I found Alan to be an excellent recruiter and met all my expectations as a candidate. I would recommend Alan to anyone looking to for a role via Neilson Recruitment or to use Alan and his team as a recruiter.

Alan is an extremely trustworthy recruitment expert always focusing on the understanding of both the client and candidate’s requirements and not on the money! Always prepared to give advice. 

A.Watson

Alan listened to the ideal profile of person that I required and matched the interview candidates accordingly. He presented me with only a couple of cv’s of candidates he thought I should interview, one of which progressed well and now works for Norbord. Overall I’m pleased with the service delivered by Alan and will work with him again. Very happy to recommend.  

A.Francis

Alan is unlike the vast majority of recruitment people. He genuinely cares and takes an interest in your company. Being his own business, Alan is profoundly aware that he is building long term relationships with his clients. As such, he isn’t out for a quick placement and move on. We find that approach extremely professional and most welcome.
