With over 20 years of experience working for two global recruitment agencies, I decided it was time to take everything I had learned and build something of my own, Nolan Recruitment.
From day one, my approach to recruitment has always been rooted in one thing: relationships. Real, honest, human connections between clients and candidates.
At Nolan Recruitment it is people who matter most. We focus on trust, transparency, and taking the time to truly understand what both clients and candidates need. It is not just about filling roles, it is about building futures.
