I applied for a job that Nicola was managing and she was quick to get in touch. She explained the job role and went into good detail about the employer and type of business the job was with. Nicola was thorough with her questions to me and identified that the job that I had originally applied for might not be the best fit. She sent me details of another job, at the same company which turned out to be the perfect fit. At my 1st interview with Nicola she made me feel relaxed and she was really friendly and open. When I attended my second interview with the company, Nicola was there also. It made me feel supported and confident. Applying for and changing jobs can be a really uncertain and challenging time. Nicola made it really easy.

We could not be more satisfied with our experience. From the very beginning, their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in finding the best prospective employees for The Larder. Nicola invested time prior to the recruitment process to fully understand all about our business and how important it was that we found candidates that would fit in well to our existing teams. The process was seamless and efficient. Their dedication to finding the right fit was evident in every interaction.

At McGhee Group we need to recruit staff from senior to more junior levels with the right experience, capabilities and attitudes. Having used most of the ‘big names’ in recruitment the outcomes have often fallen short of what was required. Nicola Hardy listens carefully to exactly what’s required, questions us on the sort of character that’s going to be a match for the rest of the team and ultimately manages to find just the right person, every time. We have been highly impressed with the calibre of candidates and Nicola’s ability to find us just the right ‘fit’. My colleagues and I continue to be impressed and delighted by Nicola Hardy’s ability to work tirelessly and diligently to source the right candidate for each position and I’m sure we will continue to use the services of Nicola and her team for the long term.

One of the things I love most about what I do is building meaningful, lasting relationships with my clients. By getting under the hood of their organisation, values, and goals, I become an extension of their team – providing expertise, guidance, and the talent they need to grow. It’s a skill I’ve polished over 10 successful years leading TTS24-7, a temp and perm recruitment agency in Scotland.
That same passion for collaboration inspired me to launch Orca Talent Solutions, a brand focused on embedded recruitment. This model transforms hiring into a seamless, collaborative process, integrating my recruitment expertise directly into my clients’ teams. The result? Efficient, informed hiring and the creation of outstanding teams that drive success.
At Orca Talent Solutions, my promise is to deliver a friendly, transparent service built on trust and mutual respect – because that’s the foundation of great partnerships.
When I’m not helping businesses grow, I’m focused on my own growth. Whether it’s at the gym or volunteering with local charities, staying active and connected keeps me grounded and inspired.
A sincere & deep affection for people & desire to help them improve their lives.
Forge our own unique paths, continuously search, evolve and encourage others to follow.
Utilising our knowledge & understanding to lead others to their desired destination.
