Nigel Wright on the hunt for ten graduates to fuel growth

Newcastle-based recruiters Nigel Wright are looking for ten graduates to join their business in order to meet the demands of new domestic and international growth.

The firm, which operates offices as far afield as Denmark and Spain, has established itself from its North East base and is keen to develop local talent.

Nigel Wright were spurred to reinvigorate their graduate scheme following the results of a national study which showed the North East as the region most likely to retain graduates when they complete studies.

Research from universities think-tank, Million+, indicates that 79% North East graduates in employment stayed in the region in 2013 - more than in the South East (47%) and London (48.4%).

The North East also has the highest proportion of graduates employed in the region, who were originally from the region.

Paul Wilson, CEO of Nigel Wright, said: “As a business that has been built on local talent and has been sourcing the best candidates in the region for the past 26 years, we know better than anyone that working with North East graduates can bring immense benefits to local companies, and implicitly to the economy of the region.

“Our universities aren’t just great places to socialise, but produce high calibre graduates, equipped with the necessary skills and experience to succeed in a wide range of industries.

“We are looking for enthusiastic individuals with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, who are seeking to build a successful career in business.”
