Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it. This is what our clients say...

Since tasking Nexo with our dynamic recruitment needs we've found them to be diligent, helpful and professional. Being a specialist construction contractor it's important potential candidates are thoroughly vetted and skillsets qualified before each is put forward. Nexo have been fantastic in doing this and subsequently we've onboarded numerous employees via them. Greatest testament is those who arrive with us often praise the communication and attention to detail Nexo provided throughout their recruitment journey

Tom D

We have used Mike and the team at Nexo for over 5 years now placing over 15 permanent staff for us from trainees through to senior level positions and we couldn't be happier with the service from Nexo.

Mike was professional, friendly and communicated quickly and efficiently. I strongly suspect that I will remain in this current job for the foreseeable future however I will be recommending Nexo to anyone searching for employment.

Nexo Recruitment News

by Chris Jansen 7 May 2025

In today’s job market, artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are empowering candidates to submit polished CVs and convincing cover letters at the click of a button. While this can streamline the application process for job seekers, it presents a new challenge for employers: an influx of generic, overly-optimised applications that may look great on paper but lack the substance or experience required for the role.

That’s where the real value of a specialist recruitment agency comes into play.

The Challenge of AI-Enhanced Applications

AI can help candidates craft more appealing applications, but it can also mask gaps in experience, overstate competencies, or create applications that are too good to be true. For busy employers, sifting through a high volume of nearly identical submissions can be time-consuming, frustrating, and ultimately risky.

Without expert vetting, you risk shortlisting candidates who don’t meet your standards—or worse, making a hire that doesn’t work out.

Why Choose Nexo Recruitment?

At Nexo Recruitment, we bring clarity, accuracy, and confidence back into the hiring process. With every assignment managed at director level, you benefit from over 40 years of recruitment experience applied directly to your hiring needs.

Since 2005, we’ve successfully placed thousands of candidates across the UK in a wide range of roles, including:

  • Trades & Labour

  • Construction Professionals – White Collar

  • Demolition

  • Civils

  • M&E (Mechanical & Electrical)

  • Facilities Management & Grounds Maintenance

Whether you're hiring for a long-term leadership position or need skilled tradespeople at short notice, our personal, hands-on approach ensures you get more than just polished applications—you get the right people for the job.

2. Time Saved
We handle all the groundwork—from advertising and pre-screening to interview scheduling—freeing you to focus on your business, not on recruitment admin.

3. Reduced Hiring Risk

5. Long-Term Partnership
We don’t just fill vacancies—we help you build teams. Many of our clients return to us time and again because they know we deliver results.

At Nexo Recruitment, we combine technology with personal expertise to deliver a shortlist of high-quality candidates who are ready to make a real difference.

Let us save you time, money, and stress—while delivering the talent your business deserves.

Did you know that hiring the wrong person can cost you THREE times the salary of that role. That's the conclusion of a report conducted by independent consultancy Public First commissioned by the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) in 2021.

The last few years have seen huge challenges for companies. The stress of COVID and The Great Resignation, followed by the cost of living crisis coupled with low unemployment. This has made recruiting and retaining staff a real challenge, especially for companies in Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey.

The 2021 REC survey was commissioned to understand and measure the economic and social impact of the UK recruitment industry.

In the survey businesses said that the quality of their staff and recruitment is the second most important driver of their success behind only the quality of their end product. Hiring the right staff is more important than management expertise, proprietary research or investment in new machinery. 

The report highlights a trend towards more flexible working. This approach benefits companies where the vacancies are matched to candidates who seek out and flourish by working more flexibly.

The report also found that, for individuals, there is a strong correlation between finding a good job match, job satisfaction and overall life satisfaction.

Bringing in recruitment experts will make a significant difference to your business, with the REC report's analysis showing that the improved quality of matching companies and applicants increases UK productivity by an estimated £7.7 billion a year.

Working with a specialist recruitment agency will save you time, money and stress, both in the short and long term. At Nexo Recruitment we take the time to  understand your company and your culture so that you only interview candidates who are a good fit for your company.

We are a local, family-run business with over 40 years' recruitment experience.  To find out how we can help you to recruit the right people, give us a call and have a chat with our friendly team today. Call us on  0800 160 1141 or email us at admin@nexorecruitment.net.
