Nelya Pearson

Founder of Nelly Works

As Head of Talent Acquisition at Zencore, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nelya since October 2023. Nelya came on board as a part-time recruiter, specifically focusing on our European roles. From day one, she has been a tremendous fit culturally, and her ability to prioritise and fill our tech roles quickly has been amazing.

It's been a blessing working with Nelya because I never have to worry about anything. She manages the entire recruitment process seamlessly, with no need for me to look over her shoulder or micromanage.

She’s professional, highly organised, and has always kept a strong pipeline of candidates in place, even when project timelines shift unexpectedly. Since joining us, she has successfully hired several senior-level candidates in critical roles, often navigating complex, multi-stage interview processes.

We’re thrilled with the work Nelya has done and look forward to continuing our partnership.

Ben Crenca

Head of Talent Acquisition at Zencore

As Head of HR at Geoteric, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nelya on a number of challenging roles across our business. She originally worked with us years ago and, when we needed someone to resource multiple positions across different locations, Nelya was the obvious choice.

Her ability to embed herself quickly into the organisation, work closely with hiring managers, and understand the intricacies of the business sets her apart from other recruiters I’ve worked with. She operates independently and flexibly, keeping me confident that she's working on each opportunity to a very high standard. It’s been a seamless experience, and her contribution has been invaluable during our expansion.
