“Nancy, Jackie and the NLC team were exceptional. They were very easy to work with, attentive, responsive, and professional. The candidates were well vetted and all worthy of an interview. Given the current demand in the engineering industry, they brought to the table several suitable candidates in a short period of time. They knew our business and were well connected in our industry. I would certainly use their services again.”

"Finding good candidates is always a difficult process, but somehow Nancy managed to do so again and again! With her behind the wheel we found talented and motivated new members to join our growing team in very short order. Equally as important, she kept us on track by providing weekly progress updates and through follow-ups after each discussion with a candidate.”

Landteck Limited
"Accountable, thoughtful and driven to provide the absolute best candidate, Nancy’s keen insight into the market and her dogged determination to find the right candidate make her an absolute joy to work with. We engaged with Nancy to find a Facility Manager for an important Healthcare P3 Project in the Greater Toronto Area during a time of relative volatility in the market and recognizing that the multitude of skills and experiences for the position were tough to find in a single individual. Nancy searched high and low to find us the right candidates and did so from a position of strength given the significant due diligence she did with us in establishing our needs for the position. In the end we got exactly the candidate we needed. I highly recommend Nancy and look forward to engaging with her again soon."
— Brad Fauteux, Senior Director
Engie Services Inc.

One that would understand our culture, services and structure and be able to provide high caliber candidates not only in skills and experience but overall fit. Nancy has been supporting our recruiting efforts for over a year now and we have been impressed with her diligence, thoroughness and professionalism. The candidates she has presented are well selected to the needs of the company and positions. We look forward to building our long standing working relationship."

"Nancy at NLC Recruiting was referred to me at a time when I was specifically seeking an external recruitment partner with integrity. In short order, I found that Nancy took the time to thoroughly understand our company, as well as the current and future needs of each of the candidates placed. Nancy does not “sell” the candidate. She builds trust by offering reality and reason along with her professional opinion. She is a pleasure to work with. Nancy recently placed three impressive candidates in just one of our offices and she has quickly become the preferred recruitment resource for technical hires in both the public and private sectors of our business."

"Jackie is a shining star who has the rare combination of skills & ability to lead in any role she encounters. In addition to her strong business acumen and drive, she is a thoughtful and empathetic leader toward whom people gravitate. A pro’s pro and an incredible teammate. I can’t say enough superlatives about her so if you’re ever curious, call me & I’ll talk your ear off."”

Spin Master Ltd.
"Finding a new recruiting firm is always a difficult task – you need someone you can trust, who has integrity to spare and will take the time to understand you and your business so that they can then turn around and represent you and your organization in a professional manner. NLC finds you that passive candidate who didn’t know they wanted a new job! All this while maximizing value for both prospective employees and clients. I have now worked with Nancy on a number of hard to fill placements and she has exceeded every expectation from that original referral – each time she has delivered a high calibre candidate, in a short amount of time, and within budget! IF you need an exceptional new employee, you need to engage an exceptional recruiter. Nancy Chapman is that recruiter."
— Linda Laing, Vice President
SNC Lavalin O&M Solutions
"Nancy, what a great experience it was working with you! By carefully listening to our needs and wants, every individual you recommended for an interview was a good quality, viable candidate. Your level of service was second to none and your professionalism and accessibility was greatly appreciated. What 3 other recruiters failed at for over a 3.5 months, you delivered in 1!”
—Jim D’Orazio, Principal
D’Orazio Infrastructure Group
"Our firm has been working with Nancy for less than a year and we are extremely satisfied with the results during the short period of our relationship. The time and effort put into finding the right people is obvious. I make it a practice to ask the candidates about their experience working with Nancy. In all cases, it is clear that she has the ability to make contact with the potential candidate and present an opportunity in the most appropriate manner. She is discreet and affords the utmost respect and confidentiality to all concerned. Candidates have also commented that she is extremely diligent about returning calls promptly."
— Jean Dowser, Branch Manager
David McManus Engineering Ltd.
"I engaged Nancy recently to source two individuals to add to our growing dynamic team. My experience was seamless and filled with results. Having been in the industry for 16 years, I have learned what works and what doesn’t. My personal meeting I was quite clear as to our story and that of what I was looking for. She took the story, identified a long list of quality candidates, as a result I had a very short list of qualified candidates. My dealings with Nancy were of the utmost, no nonsense, gave me what I was looking for and quite frankly, she gets it! Nancy is one of the most professional and supportive individuals I have had the opportunity to meet and work with.”
—Mark Reidl, President

We look forward to continuing the successful partnership for many years to come."

"Thanks for your work on this file Nancy. We have been looking for almost 2 years for a good candidate and we have not seen a resume close to the caliber. It would appear that you can both, find them and close them!"
— Cliff Youdale, Manager Building Sciences
Trow, Ottawa
"When we engaged NLC based on a referral, it was immediately apparent that we were in very capable hands. Nancy’s ability to communicate was excellent, and the quality of candidates she introduced was impressive. However, it was her valuable insight and instinct of knowing what buttons to push and when that created the biggest benefit. Nancy delivered a service proposition with precision and professionalism resulting in the successful placement of the right person to our team and indeed one very satisfied customer."
— Neil B. Foran, Partner

"I can personally vouch for Nancy as an outstanding executive recruiter with a great work ethic and exceptional reputation. She is located in Toronto and she was instrumental in helping me fill a Sr. position with a Technology Consulting client in Toronto. She has transitioned into more of an Executive level search specialist, and she has also recently done work on the wealth management side. "
— Mark Dinowitz, President
The Edgwater Group Inc., New York
"We approached Nancy to assist us with finding our next star employee for a business development role. Nancy was very professional, thorough and persistent in finding us strong candidates and ultimately a new employee. Nancy’s energy, drive and strategic approach to finding candidates has fostered a new partnership with us and we look forward to building our relationship with her by working on our strategic recruitment projects."
