What our candidates say about us

I've worked with NRL on and off doing electrical work for over 30 years. Throughout this time, I have always found them professional and easy to work with, and would recommend them to any contractor looking for a new role.

Alan Young

My experience with NRL Recruitment has been extremely positive. The team, especially Imane Ghaffor, has been incredibly cooperative, professional, and friendly. From the very beginning, she maintained clear communication and provided excellent guidance throughout the entire recruitment process.

Altaf

I’ve been working as a pipefitter and recently had the opportunity to collaborate with NRL. From the first contact, everything went smoothly – they were professional, helpful, and always available to answer my questions. They found me a good job that matched my skills and experience, and the communication was great throughout the process.

Andrei

I wanted a job that I could throw myself into - where the more I put in, the more I got out of it. In recruitment, provided the company creates the environment, your development is heavily within your own control. There is significant satisfaction in supporting projects and aiding clients to achieve their key milestones. I also enjoy building long-term business relationships with our clients. Initially I believed that I would have to have an outgoing extroverted personality to be a good recruiter. Whilst this can sometimes be beneficial, I have found that there is a place in the industry for all personality types.

Andy

Sheena's performance is nothing short of absolutely outstanding. I don't know where i would be without her support and assistance as she makes challenging jobs easier to deliver.

Andy Bunting

Coming out of retirement and working for NRL-Falkirk on a short contract has been a very pleasant experience. The Team is highly professional, supportive and organized, I would not hesitate to do it again.

Anne

NRL were great to work with they gave me all the help I need to get into my new job, the staff were very friendly and helpful and always picked up the phone when I called. Couldn’t thank NRL anymore.

Antony

I highly recommend NRL Recruitment for their exceptional services. They have an impressive understanding of the industry and a keen eye for detail, ensuring that they match the perfect candidate to the right role. The communication throughout the process was excellent, keeping me informed and up-to-date with progress every step of the way. Their commitment to finding the best fit for both the candidate and the company is truly outstanding. I would definitely work with them again.

Artur Safronov

If I ever had any questions they were always quick to respond. I would definitely recommend NRL and would be happy to work with them in the future.

Ben

NRL have provided an excellent service to Altrad Babcock for many years. They understand our business really well and more importantly provide a faultless service to their contractors. They add value at every opportunity. Their record with us is exceptional - NRL understand our company culture and passing this on to prospective candidates is one of the most important things that they do.
