I’m a highly experienced Technology Recruiter with over 13 years’ experience of successfully delivering bespoke Talent Acquisition strategy and campaigns for Global Tech organisations, ranging from start-ups to International, Digital brands.
I have enjoyed extensive results in Tech & Data Recruitment, partnering with clients to deliver critical talent through a variety of methods such as: Retained Search (C-level Executives, often on a confidential basis), Exclusive contingency programmes and also, via our Outsourced In-House service, which works brilliantly for fast-growing start-ups who don’t yet have an internal Talent team.
I’m a hands-on, passionate Talent Acquisition specialist who is passionate about people; I love helping my clients to scale-up quickly, whilst always balancing the important ongoing process of building a more diverse & inclusive environment.
Kevin got me a placement at the top which I recently completed my full probation on and figured a recommendation was deserving.
Not only did he advise me on the best course through the interview and recruitment stage, but he also advised me of a few pitfalls and concerns that he believed (And eventually), were forthcoming.
I would happily go back to Kevin again should I need to move on, however as I'm settled and am happy at this job, including taking on more responsibility, I don't see why I would be moving any time soon!
Great job Kevin!
Luke Hill - QA Lead
Kevin has been a pleasure to work with and is very responsive when I had any questions needs answering. Kevin listened and knew exactly what role I was after and delivered my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone who want a recruiter willing to go above and beyond. It was a pleasure working with Kevin.
Alwayne Powell - Digital Marketing Manager

Marion, HR Director at DYWIDAG
I have worked with Kevin for several years in my capacity as Agile Delivery Manager at On The Beach. I have dealt with many recruiters and Kevin is without doubt head and shoulders above the rest.
From our first contact he took the time to get to know us, our team, our company and our recruitment needs. He regularly visited and really got to know how we work and our culture; this helped him 'sell' On The Beach to candidates. What I really like about Kevin is that he puts in a huge amount of effort to really understand our roles. When he sent me a CV, with a very detailed precis of the candidate, I had absolute trust that he believed the candiate was right for us - it was always the case.
Paul Jackson, former Agile Delivery Manager at On The Beach

Tony Steel - IT Manager
Kevin at S-SA Digital has been such an amazing support through the Recruitment process. His professionalism and empathy has given me the confidence to make the move from a very toxic work environment. He shone the light back on my skillsets and that they were highly recognised by the potential new job opportunity. All the through the recruitment process Kevin was there to give me advice and support at each step. And after the first week in my new role, Kevin has certainly matched me with the right team, company and ethos! So thank you - You are ace!!!
Samantha Gowland - Global CRM Systems Manager
‘We approached S-SA when our existing recruitment partner was unable to find suitable candidates for us, in what was, and still is, a very difficult market place to recruit good developers. I literally walked through the door of their office without any kind of previous introduction or appointment. Kevin immediately made me feel welcome and took the time to sit and talk to me about our requirements. He quickly grasped the skill set that we were after and clearly had a good understanding of the marketplace. From that moment Kevin was extremely professional and attentive in all his dealings with us. He quickly put forward suitable candidates for us to interview and on the basis of those interviews we successfully recruited for two junior positions. Both appointees have settled in very well and show great promise for the future. Kevin was diligent in his follow ups once the new guys started to make sure that everything was alright. I would recommend Kevin and S-SA without hesitation and hope to work with them again in the future.’
Helen Henshaw - Chief Administrative Officer at Qnetex ERP
Taking on new software development staff is never a quick or easy process but Kevin at S-SA Digital certainly made it seem quick and easy. There was never a time when I wasn't sure where we were in the process and I always felt as though Kevin was proactively searching for the best candidates. He was quick to change direction when given feedback and that certainly gave me confidence that he was listening to what I and my business needed. I'll certainly be working with Kevin again and that says a lot in the current, very challenging job market.
Curt Wilkinson, Managing Director at Silverstone Software
I don't do recommendations for the sake of it - if I'm putting my neck on the chopper i have to be sure i'm confident they can deliver. Kevin Nixon delivered. He delivered exactly what he said he would, and more, with multiple top tier candidates in a recruitment market the likes of which I've never seen. He was attentive, rational and clear, supporting in the specification of the role, learning about us and being a great advocate of our business. That resulted in us finding the right person to own and develop our organic proposition, a role that is so crucial to our business!!
(he also listened to me waffling about my van, true gent)
If you need support with recruitment - Kevin Nixon is your guy.
