The British Council, the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, was seeking an interim CFO to cover the likely lengthy absence of the incumbent. They wanted to find candidates evidencing a successful track record as a CFO in an international organisation with a significant global transformation agenda.

In three weeks Nurole surfaced Nigel Arthur, an accomplished Finance Director with experience in a diverse range of organisations including Diageo, Heineken and Thomas Cook.


As a candidate I found the Nurole process very easy to use and effective. The online application form required a bit of work to complete, but the time I invested in doing this was repaid within days with the offer of an interview.
