Blackhawk

Blackhawk recently needed to find an experienced AX Administrator for an immediate-hire situation. After looking on our own for nearly 2 months, we turned to Nigel Frank International. Day one, one of their experienced consultants began providing relevant candidates.

During the following several weeks, she provided streams of candidates increasingly well-aligned to our specific needs and requirements.

With the persistent assistance of their consultant and the resources of Nigel Frank International, we were able to find an ideal candidate local to the hiring facility. The candidate has accepted our offer and we look forward to him “hitting the ground running” day one.

Nigel Frank International did a fantastic job assisting us in our search for a suitable Dynamics AX candidate. The consultant Leonard Ow, remained on-top of the process from start to finish, making the whole experience hassle free. Within a short period, he found a selection of candidates for us to consider and worked with us to provide recommendations based on his experience.

It is refreshing to work with a vendor who fully understands the requirements set out by the client and remains in tune with this throughout the process.

Nigel Frank International are the definitive experts in the Microsoft Dynamics field and I am confident in their ability to source the best possible talent for any requirement within the market. For this reason, I will not hesitate to recommend them to any of my industry contacts.

StyleTread

Styletread is a fast growing online fashion retailer, our growth in 2011 was exceptional and as a result we embarked on strategies to accommodate this, including choosing Microsoft Dynamics NAV as our ERP.  We’d been searching for some months for the right person to join the business to take charge of the systems, advise us on how to best utilise NAV and help us facilitate considerable expansion in the coming years to come.

We spoke to a small number of potential hires in our search for this Business Systems manager, but were unable to find the perfect person when Nigel Frank APAC contacted us.  Immediately it was clear they were specialist in MS Dynamics, understanding the technological requirements but also our needs as a business, taking time to understand our culture, vision and find out about the personality we would need for this role.

Having suggested 3 candidates, we interviewed two and one of them turned out to be the perfect fit for Styletread, all within 2 weeks.  Nigel Frank were attentive and flexible in helping us secure this person, putting in effort to work on our behalf from start to finish.

I’d recommend (and have done!) Nigel Frank APAC to any company looking for a specialist Dynamics Professional, in my experience they delivered on every level.

ASSA ABLOY Asia Pacific

Nigel Frank International were extremely helpful in introducing ASSA ABLOY to an excellent candidate when we were searching for a Senior Solutions Architect, a high level post reporting to the board of directors.

Having searched for many months to find the right technical and personal profile, we had come to a critical and urgent point in planning and executing our Dynamics AX rollout across the APAC region and were no closer to finding the right person. We then contacted Nigel Frank in Singapore, who were able to secure us the perfect person within 1 week of first taking our specification!

The market knowledge, professional and consultative conduct and the speed at which they were able to suggest this gentleman to us was extremely impressive and we feel confident we have the right person to help us move forward with this major IT investment.

Sojitz

We contacted Nigel Frank to help us source a Microsoft Dynamics AX Specialist at a critical point in our AX implementation project. A very strong candidate was put forward immediately and we feel fortunate that he appears to be an ideal fit for this position which requires quite a niche combination of skills.

Initially Nigel Frank made a real effort to understand our business, to understand our requirements, and to sell our Company to candidates. All candidates put forward by Nigel Frank who came forward for interview were enthusiastic and informed about our Company, and we were able to have a lot of confidence in the selection.

Throughout our recruitment process, there was a strong sense of partnership with Nigel Frank; they were honest about the market and feedback from candidates, and it was very apparent that our Company’s interests were taken into account alongside the wishes and aspirations of candidates.

We would definitely recommend Nigel Frank and deal with them in the future. Although we have only 1 specialist role in Europe focussing on Dynamics AX, we can appreciate how important it is to work with recruiters who know the market well and can advise on the best options available.

Insight

My initial impression that AX staff would be easy to find was proven to be false. Thus I embarked on a search for a partner with whom I could work, and who knew the AX area of the recruitment world intimately. Very many firms claimed to have access to the best people, whereas what they did was headhunt at enormous cost to me. What Nigel Frank did was advise me on what could and could not be achieved in the timescales and budget I had available, and then partner with me to make this happen. No fuss, no drama, just good quality candidates for me to see. This worked as a partnership rather than as a supplier/client relationship and the focus on quality meant we at Insight could get on with our jobs and leave the recruiting to Nigel Frank.

Gap Consulting

We operate in a highly competitive market, where the best talent is very much sought after, and difficult to find.

Consequently we engaged Nigel Frank International to find us the right candidates.  

We have successfully completed several recruitment campaigns with NFI and established a very effective relationship with our recruitment consultant and our account manager.

I’m very happy with the level of engagement we have during the recruitment process, as well as the market insight they provide. NFI worked with a positive urgency from the start of the campaign until we achieve the objective.

They are efficient in arranging interviews and provide an effective and transparent feedback mechanism between us and prospective candidates. Very importantly, the team we work with at NFI has invested the time to develop a good understanding of not just the technical skills we look for, but the character and softer skills that would sit well within our company culture and ethos.

The consultant we work with at NFI is honest and cares about delivering long term results to our business. We find the service knowledgeable, helpful and timely and I’m happy to use Nigel Frank International on our time critical assignments.

In order to find Microsoft AX special talents, Nigel Frank could list the names very quickly for us according to our special requests such as with several AX implementation experiences, a few global implementation experiences, strong communication skill as well as deep understandings on the implementation and maintenance methodology.

I liked using the candidate search, it was intuitive and really helps drill down to what you are looking for. I have not had access to any candidates as the ones proposed to me by Nigel Frank, from any other means of our recruiting efforts. You guys are the bomb!
