Testimonials

Nicol’s consultative and driven attitude has been a breath of fresh air, and I have found myself actually enjoying the candidate process. Of particular note, I have to praise his efforts working to UK hours (on very short notice) to assist in getting things over the line.

Derivatives Operations Analyst, Asset Manager

I had the opportunity to work with Nicol during my job search in the banking industry. What stood out was his strong commitment to candidates. He not only helped me find a suitable role but also kept in touch regularly to ensure my success in the new position. Nicol is a recruiter who prioritises your career journey, making the process straightforward and supportive.

Project Manager, Big 4 Bank

Nicol was very supportive and clearly went over and above to fully understand the brief to ensure the role and my capabilities and desires were aligned. He was thorough and communicated throughout the process. Definitely recommend.

CEO, Business Broker

Nicol was an excellent resource as I made an interstate transition. There were some special requirements in the process, and Nicol made sure listen to my needs and negotiate them effectively. I always felt like he was fighting for the best outcome for me. I am very glad with his approach and the group he was working with, and am thoroughly enjoying the new role.

Senior Data Scientist, Commercial Insurer

Nicol was great to work with - provided outstanding service, not too pushy but always prompt, focused, honest and listened well. I would highly recommend him to those looking for new talent.

National Lead Partner (AI and Automation), Deloitte

Nicol responded to our recruitment requirements with professionalism, urgency and quality. He is very personable and quick to understand business requirements and importantly culture.

With a high level of commitment to his clients as well as a strong ethic and belief in doing things the ‘right’ way, Nicol comes highly recommended.

Head of Growth, RCSA

Nicol gets things done. He's meticulous in ensuring his client's needs are treated with the utmost importance and care, whilst always maintaining constant communication. He's reliable, efficient and a true professional!

I have worked with Nicol both as a client and as a candidate and he approached both the same levels of energy, innovative thinking and care. Nicol is naturally inquisitive and invests the time to understand the company and the impact the position he is seeking to fill can have to the success of the company. Equally he is dedicated to truly getting to know his prospective candidates before he makes his shortlist. Nicol manages to do this whilst maintaining care for all prospective candidates. I could not recommend Nicol and People Like Us more highly.

Partnerships Director, Meta

Our Board engaged Nicol and his firm on a Retained Search for our new CEO. We found Nicol to be thorough, diligent and timely in his shortlist presentation. He even provided a supplementary candidate who was closely aligned to the final brief. Nicol managed the expectations of both us and the candidates through to selection, placement, and on to start date. He communicated effectively with all parties throughout, and we found him to be highly consultative in his approach. We would readily use Nicol Matheson again as the need arises.

I have been working with Nicol for the past 12 months as we set up new capabilities in our technology platform. Nicol and his company have been incredibly supportive through contract negotiations, technology interoperability and setting employment/award provisions. Their level of compliance and adherence to regulations makes me feel comfortable that I have experts dealing with the employment of our users, while at the same time delivering customer service that makes me feel like I’m their only customer (which I know well I’m not).
