What Nick's clients and candidates say

Nick made the recruitment process simple and smooth from the beginning. He listened to who we are and what we needed to find us the very best candidates whilst being very easy to work with. We ended up with two really great candidates who are doing an amazing job.

Kimberley, People and Culture Manager - SKUTOPIA

Efficient, on the ball and comprehensive. Nick was great and carried out his role superbly. Our transactions were professional and friendly, he knew what he was talking about and has very applicable experience in not only recruitment but also sales. I have even already personally recommended Nick & Pulse to a colleague of mine.

Jacob, Sales Manager - Mandoe Media

Nick has been a delight to work with during the recruitment period. Communicative, knowledgable and attentive are just a few of the words I can think of to sum up his approach.

Kristin, General Manager & CSL - Detrack Systems

Nick was really easy and relaxing to work with. He was honest and friendly. He was also very helpful when it came to practising for the interview.

Arishma, Business Development Manager - SKUTOPIA

Nick was welcoming and a pleasure to work with. He had effective and proactive communication channels and together we moved very quickly through the process from introduction to candidate placement. Tasks and responsiveness was activated quickly. We were able to place an outstanding candidate in 3 weeks and our experience was professional and enjoyable.
