Why Nurole for your Chair Search?

Deeper market knowledge

Our team of 60 search experts have placed 200+ Chairs, 70 of which have been in the last year. Benefit from their wealth of recent experience of the Chair recruitment market.

Greater reach & precision

Through headhunting + technology, reach 10x more relevant candidates than traditional search. Our algorithm unearths candidates beyond the reach of traditional search radars.

More diversity

We source diverse candidates through the breadth of our network and the strength of our partnerships. In 2022, 46% of our placements were women; 30% were under the age of 50, and 27% were from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Passionate & engaged candidates

In addition to making direct approaches, we empower candidates to put themselves forward for roles and recommend others. On average c.20 candidates actively apply from our network, rather than being cajoled to do so by headhunters. That produces candidates with the passion necessary to add value as a Chair.
