Catherine Hingston

Head of Corporate ServicesSpecialising in HR & D

Catherine Hingston has almost two decades of recruitment experience and heads up our Corporate Services division which specialises in HR&D, Business Support and Finance positions.

Catherine is well placed to lead the Corporate Services team as she has a proven track record of recruitment within Finance, Sales and Marketing, Business Support and most recently HR&D. She prides herself on building meaningful relationships with candidates and clients which are based on honesty, integrity and a consultative approach to enable all parties to learn and grow.

A busy mum to four boys, Catherine is a shining example of multi-tasking and keeping the plates spinning.

Catherine placed me into my current role which is something I'm very grateful for. Throughout the process she was organised, efficient and explained everything well to me. She valued my time, set me up for interviews and adapted when circumstances changed. The entire NRG team were also excellent too.

I really valued Catherine’s support with our recruitment campaign – I felt she really took the time to understand the organisation and our culture, ensuring that we found a ‘good fit’.Catherine was easy to talk to, helpful to bounce ideas and suggestions around with, gave great advice and overall offered a really personal and high quality service. I will definitely use NRG’s Specialist Search support again.

Working with Catherine this year has been fantastic. In particular I had a non-standard Payroll & HR Systems Manager role to fill and knew it would be tricky finding a candidate with technical expertise who would also be a strong fit into the team and culture. The candidates selected by Catherine were all of a really high calibre and that's testament to the time she took to really understand the business and listen to what we needed. Not all recruiters do this and it was a pleasure to see. We couldn't be happier with our latest team member and don't know how we managed before she joined.
