As bespoke as a recruitment company gets.
I found one of their ads on the Guardian jobs website and got in touch with a man called Dan, the rest is history. I kid.
although I did get in touch with a man called Dan, and from day one he showed me the clarity and commitment which characterised all of our other meetings. He invited me in thoroughly go through the position with me and left no stone un-turned. He was very attentive to my requirements and gave me the impression of genuine interest; I have had other experiences of consultants who talked more than they listened - a 20 minute un-interrupted speech, in fact - but this wasn't the case at Nu Creative.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the job, but Dan's level of interest and care remained the same; we went over feedback and identified ways of better approaching future interviews. He asked me to keep in contact and let him know how I was progressing - and here I am at Yelp :) Having Dan felt more like having a mentor, rather than a recruitment consultant, and I am truly thankful that I met him. If the other consultants at Nu Creative are anything like him - this is probably the best agency I've ever come across.
Notes:
Nu Creative Talent mainly deal with media positions, so positions like the sales one I went for might be a rarity. Their office is beautiful, open plan, filled with Macs and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Also, the website is fresh-to-death. read more
