Life at NES Fircroft

"I’m proud to have worked for NESF for over 10 years, and a lot of my colleagues also hold this same tenure. There are many reasons that people chose to stay with NESF - the opportunity for career growth within the company has been fantastic, and we receive a lot of training opportunities to help us become more specialised within our industries and to really develop our skillsets. In this company you will be exposed to a very diverse environment. As a working mother, I’ve found management to be incredibly supportive of establishing a true work life balance, and I’ve thrived in this position without compromising on my family life."

"I have been at NESF for 5 years and can honestly say it’s the best move I ever made. Having worked in oil and gas recruitment for my entire career, I have always heard positive things about the business. When I joined, I was impressed by the quality of people as well as the culture and working environment. I work with fantastic people - the culture is driven by the desire to be the best in class whilst collectively and individually working towards achieving our objectives. I have always felt that progress and the ability to achieve success is everyone’s driver at NESF and I have had a lot of support to help me achieve my career goals. Since initially joining in the UK, I have had 2 promotions and took the opportunity to relocate my family to the Middle East. NESF have been so supportive during my transition to a new country and tailored the relocation to what worked best for me and my family. I have learnt so much by the wealth of talented people that are in NESF, I honestly believe it is a great place to work. "

"My time with NESF has been one amazing journey. I started with the company in our Dubai office, and was given immense practical support when I transferred over to our head office in the UK. I have met the most amazing and friendly people in both offices. NESF always encourages autonomy in individuals to consider how they can add value which helps one to grow professionally. This helps me to challenge myself each day and I’m always looking forward to learning more and developing my own skills. This is definitely a place where you will be appreciated when you think outside the box! A career at NESF enables you to meet people from around the globe and to really feel like part of an international community – global office collaboration is fantastic and there’s absolutely no lag when it comes to working cross-borders."

"From initially supporting UK, Europe and Africa to now being aligned to the Western Hemisphere during my 6 years with the business, it’s been an unparalleled opportunity to truly be involved in HR activities on an international level. My journey with the Company so far has taken me to Houston (where I was based for 2.5 years), allowed me to work with incredibly talented and committed colleagues in multiple countries along the way to achieve common goals and provided me with recognition for my contribution on a global level at our Annual Awards. The variety and breadth of activities in my role offers plenty of challenges and continual opportunities to learn, in conjunction with ongoing personal development support – whether it’s through mentoring or more formal initiatives such as the Business Leaders Development Programme."

"I have been with NES Fircroft for more than 12 years and have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The people I work with are fantastic. The company has offered me the opportunity to grow with the business, and motivated me to develop my career to new heights, encouraging me to be the best I can be. From starting in 2009 as a Resourcer, I have worked my way up to Senior Recruitment Consultant, Managing Consultant, and am now a Manager for a multi-national team of varying disciplines. I’m proud to say we have established really positive relationships with our candidates and client base. A personal highlight for me was being awarded “Highest Climber” at our annual awards – as voted for by my peers. This personal recognition really meant a lot to me and adds to my continued drive. "

"I have been with the business for over 5 years. During that time I have progressed from being a senior recruitment consultant for contract labour to now becoming a recruitment manager, looking after a team of 10. The business is seriously dynamic and has given me so many opportunities to learn new skills and knowledge, I’m always challenged on a daily basis and I’ve become much more proficient because of it. "

"My partner was given a job opportunity based in Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea), I didn’t want her to go there alone. I applied for the role to be able to move to PNG. NES offered me the role and took a chance on me despite not having a recruitment specific background. It has been the most exciting career decision I have ever made, to be given the opportunity to drive the business here and receive brilliant support from the WA, BNE & Sydney offices. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity that NES invested in me, and would love to be with the company long-term."
