“Joanne Nicholls has made a huge impact on our business. We have worked together for four years and during that time we have made several recruitment campaigns. In my opinion Jo is the best executive search researcher in the business and constantly amazes our management team with the accuracy of her telephone interviews.”

Jeremy Williams, Managing Director, ScopeMedical

"JN Consulting have provided us with a first class service over the two years they have been working for us specifically in the tracking and headhunting of consultants in the recruitment industry. We have always found them to take a very professional approach to all assignments undertaken on our behalf and have been extremely discreet in how they approach their work. I have nothing but the highest regard for the service levels achieved and the personal integrity of Jo Nicholls."

Andy Arnell, Managing Director, Options Employment (Southern) Ltd

'“We have been employing Jo’s research services to great effect for a number of years. She has a particular skill in getting to grips with the important detail of a brief and an impressive ability to penetrate even the best-protected target individual when making an approach. Having established contact with potential candidates it’s clear that, as well as uncovering their suitability for the job in hand, she establishes a professional but friendly rapport with them and this is frequently commented on."

Angus Keiller, Managing Director, FR Europe

"We have worked constantly with Jo for over five years and regard her as our researcher of choice. We have never yet been disappointed with the quality of her work, nor have we ever questioned her integrity or commitment to our firm. Undertaking many senior searches, often operating on a pan-European basis in a variety of business sectors, Jo has been able to overcome many challenging situations, and then to go on and produce short-lists of real quality and depth.

Constantly we receive positive feedback from her candidates, this has undoubtedly reflected well on our own reputation and credibility. Jo adds real value and we have even been referred to new clients through senior candidates who have been impressed by our, or should we say her process.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her to prospective clients, apart from the fact that we would prefer her to remain a well-kept secret. Please feel free to contact myself personally, and I would be happy to provide more detail."

Allan O'Neill , Managing Director, Connaught Partners

"I recently spent three days in London training with Jo Nicholls. The programme was professional, well executed, and above all thorough. Jo's techniques for gaining the required information never failed and she expected no less of the trainees, providing limitless competent support during live searches. More than anything the experience was enjoyable, and I look forward to returning for further development in the future."
