I had the pleasure of working with Nichola Daly from Daly Recruitment on a recent CEO search for a business that we had recently acquired with private equity investment and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

From the outset, Nichola demonstrated exceptional professionalism, insight, and attention to detail. She took the time to fully understand not only the strategic needs and expectations of the business, but also the culture, leadership dynamics, and personal attributes required for the role.

What stood out most was her ability to balance all of these factors when presenting candidates. Every individual she introduced had been carefully considered, with strong alignment across capability, character, and cultural fit.

Nichola was thorough, honest, and highly proactive throughout the process. She challenged where needed, asked the right questions, and kept me consistently informed at every stage. Most importantly, she was unwavering in her commitment to finding the right person for the business.

She delivered exactly that.

I would highly recommend Nichola and Daly Recruitment⁠ to anyone looking to hire for senior leadership or executive-level roles. She is an outstanding recruiter and a trusted partner in any critical hiring process.
