Testimonials

Executive Director, AWE

"AWE have partnered with Newsom Consulting to provide executive recruitment for senior leadership roles across our major programmes. Their network and access to that network has really stood out. They have an excellent understanding of major programmes and have been able to make valuable contributions immediately in briefing meetings, in contrast to more generalist mainstream headhunters. Newsom Consulting delivered a field of strong candidates at longlist, shortlist and through to interview and offer, with three candidates at the final stage who all could have been appointed. They followed through, assisting us with the offer process, ensuring candidates were kept informed throughout. At shortlist their matrix scoring tailored to the specific role competencies was really useful. I highly recommend them."

“We recently retained Newsom Consulting to recruit a key strategic Director for BAM Nuttall. It was a very professional service, they fully understood the brief and delivered against it extremely well. They kept us informed throughout the search, providing a really good shortlist of candidates. The shortlist included a consultant’s report on each candidate that was informative, honest, with insightful analysis. Newsom Consulting had their finger on the pulse of what was going on in the market and we got the right candidate out of the process”
