Contract
When I first connected with Nathan, I had a list of specific criteria I wanted in a new role and company. Nathan and Duncan went above and beyond to meet every request and found an amazing role for me within my ideal company! They are both very passionate about what they do and their exceptional communication and attention to detail made the transition simple, quick and easy. I highly recommend CAPU for help in securing a new role within this industry!
Shyama - Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist
A BIG thank you CAPU! 5 Star service all the way!
Nathan had secured my first contract back in 2017 and after a very successful 2 years contracting decided to become a permanent employee.
Due to restructuring at my permanent employment I found myself wanting to get back into Contracting. Nathan was my first GoTo person.
Within a couple of weeks, I had an interview and a couple of days later had a start date for a new contract.
Gary Brown - Quality and Continuous Improvement
In the frenetic recruitment world Nathan has been a cool breeze to deal with. From the beginning he engages with you fully in a down to earth manner and he quickly grasped my uncommon requirements. He was always quick to take an action and come back to me for frequent feedbacks, where he was competent on all legal, financial and business technicalities that I approached him with.
No task was too much for him and no question was too foolish to answer, and each answer I received was delivered with patience but efficiently. Every negative angle was met with a positive view and a useful solution - leaving one with a confident view.
Adnan Hasan - QA/RA Lead, QAV, Lead Auditor
Nathan approached me a year ago to work on a medical devices contract that has developed into a very good opportunity. The interview and transition to new role went smoothly and Nathan ironed out a few issues quickly and professionally. He has been in regular contact over the past year and I can honestly say he has been a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Nathan to anyone looking for work in the Medical Devices sector.Nathan approached me a year ago to work on a medical devices contract that has developed into a very good opportunity.

Robin Picton - Manufacturing Engineer
I want to say a massive thank you to Nathan for helping to secure a great job opportunity, which I probably wouldn't have even been aware of if it weren't for him. Nathan went over and beyond throughout the application and interview process, helping with tips while providing answers to as many questions as I had. Nathan is very professional, calm, informative, quick to respond, always happy to help and therefore, just an absolute pleasure to work with
Prashant Bajaj - QA & RA Consultant
Nathan is an excellent, stand-out consultant. He is the most personable and professional recruitment consultant I’ve worked with in over 20 years of contracting, nothing is too much trouble.
Having found and placed me he didn’t disappear, he’s been in regular contact making sure both parties are happy with the arrangement, and I know if necessary I could contact him at any time for help and advice.

Anna Smolinska - Regulatory Affairs
It's fantastic to be a part of the CAPU community. Having worked with more traditional agencies in the past, CAPU bring something different. They make you feel valued, and part of the team. Their professionalism is second to none, and I hope to be working with them for a long time. Very highly recommended.
Darren Lewis
Great experience throughout my current contract. I feel valued and the communication is second to none.
Kevin Bayliss
CAPU have been brilliant to me. Not only did they secure a contract role, this lead to something permanent within weeks of starting. Nathan has been great through out the process, keeping me updated and not stretching the truth. His integrity and that of CAPU is rare in the contract game. Thanks CAPU
Pravin Patel
Taking recruitment to the next level, communication is excellent with much more interaction than with other agencies. On the IR35 front, I have never felt more supported and confident in my role, Nathan and Duncan interact with both me and the client to ensure that there are no misunderstandings.
Bertie Aiken
CAPU Search is a great to work with, very professional, straight to the point and the communication is brilliant. You don’t get this very often. Very impressive!
Monika Schoenleber-Lewis
CAPU Search is great to work with, extremely professional yet with a very friendly approach to things. Nathan and Duncan would provide regular updates on every step of the process to keep one informed at all times. The communication is really second to none!
Blessing Nwabude
I've just been recruited into a new role by CAPU and can say it's been a consistently positive experience. They demonstrated deep industry knowledge, and were clearly attentative to both my needs and those of my new employer. Communication was reliable and open which helped me to feel supported throughout. Service from recruiters can be varied, but CAPU really have it down to a tee.
Colin Webb
CAPU are extremely good at matching the right service provider with the right client. Nathan & Duncan have extensive knowledge of the marketplace & tend to focus on fostering relationships rather than filling a role. Their pragmatic, personable & flexible approach to recruitment makes it a pleasure to work with them. CAPU really make people feel that they matter, whether a client, candidate or service provider. Their service is second to none. Thanks CAPU for all your help!
Noman Mirza
CAPU (Nathan & Duncan) are great to deal with, they are responsive, knowledgable in their field with a particular detailed understanding of IR35. It is a pleasure to work with them, and they make the role of recruitment in the Life Sciences industry a stress free experience from the contractors perspective.
Alan Ahern
Nathan sourced me my first medical device consultancy contract in 2018 and I have continued to work with him ever since. For me, Capu Search are not the typical recruitment company. I often have Nathan and Duncan phone for a quick catch up- they go above and beyond to get to know their contractors as people and build the relationship. This then translates when they match contractor to client as they understand needs and wants. They recognise skill sets and have connected me with clients where I can feel comfortable with my tasks but also continue to learn and develop. There is clear communication and I always have feedback same day from any interview.
Amy Russell
My Contract was coming to an end after 2 and a half years. One quick call to Nathan and Duncan to tell them I was available was all it took. Within days I had options on the table for new roles. Having worked with them both previously I wouldn’t consider interacting with anyone else. Top, professional guys who are my ‘go to’ company, now and in the future, who are always willing to go that extra mile.
Simon Biddulph
Duncan and Nathan are genuinely some of the best recruiters I have worked with. As a job seeker I felt they really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for from a new role.
They were really helpful in giving me the time and advice to select to role that suited me best, rather than pushing me into something that may not be right for me or the hiring companies. I would absolutely use CAPU search again and highly recommend them. Thank you both!
Daisy Jones
For the past 3 years Nathan has been able to match me to a number of contract roles which have been exactly matched to my areas of expertise. Always immediately responsive, CAPU streamline the recruitment and start-up process for their candidates. When placed with a company, CAPU is different to other recruitment companies who tend to let contact slide once a placement has begun. They continue to work in your best interests.
If you are a Medical Device Professional looking for your next role I'd recommend you contact CAPU to help you find it!
Andrea Goodyer
Outstanding recruiters in the medical device industry. Attention to detail, professionalism, client focused and get stuff done! CAPU is breath of fresh air!
Steven Rogers
I have worked with Nathan and Duncan for several years. I found that even when they worked for other recruitment agencies these guys were head and shoulders above other recruiters. They followed up on their promises and treat candidates and employers with respect and integrity. They have a great knowledge of the medical device industry and the people who work in it. Full marks and great to see them continuing the good work as CAPU.
David Broderick
Working with Duncan and Nathan has been amazing. Both are efficient, fast, understanding and unlike other recruiters I've worked with, personable. Capu found me a role that exceeded my expectations. Knowing what I'm capable of and knowing what companies were recruiting for and matching the two is their speciality and they can do it at lightening speed. I look forward to continuing to work with Capu and hope they continue to thrive.
Stuart Bell
Nathan and Duncan fall into that rare category of elite recruitment specialists that truly have your best interest in mind. They are sincere in their approach to find out where you are in your professional journey and what you are looking to get from a potential new role. And they go above and beyond to provide you with the necessary information to make an informed decision, efficiently guiding you through the recruitment process. They exemplify the highest levels of professionalism and I highly recommend their services.
David Egbosimba
Recently started a new consulting contract through CAPU with Nathan. CAPU has now established a footprint in the Medical Device recruitment industry not only for the availability of potential roles but also for the quality of those positions. This combined with a positive environment between client, contractor and recruiter makes for a worthwhile experience.
Mj Murphy
It's not often I write reviews but I'm more than happy to comment on CAPU. Both Nathan and Duncan are great guys who are really take time to ensure us contractors are taken care of. They were great during the interview stages are still frequently in contact to check things are going well. Often agencies get the contract signed then I don't hear from them very much until it's due to expire. I would highly recommend talking to CAPU as they really know their industry and are one of the best agencies I have worked with over my decades of contracting experience. A nice touch is the free merch and the lunch with Nathan (when we can get it arranged).
Keith Knight
Great service from CAPU in getting me my recent contract , good communications and very professional. Nathan & Duncan have been doing this for many years and it shows. I'd highly Recommend CAPU.
Matthew Harris
I'd previously worked with Nathan prior to CAPUSearch and been placed by him. On a previous contract, though I'd not been placed by him, all the contractors on site at the time were made welcome to attend his meetings when on-site. The way that he interacts with people even out of contract is brilliant, even though he may not have any suitable positions at the time. Since forming CAPU the same can be said of Duncan. Going the extra mile for these guys is not a problem, they are in regular contact to make sure things are going OK (or not), and are intent on building relationships with their client base. Contractors are not just a number and a pay-packet for these guys. They have earned our trust, which is why they are successful at what they do. They are a formidable duo in a world of big names, and if your a company looking for resource, these are the guys to contact first. I don't think it'll be long before they become the go-to guys in the field of recruitment.

A BIG thank you CAPU! 5 Star service all the way! Nathan had secured my first contract back in 2017 and after a very successful 2 years contracting decided to become a permanent employee. Due to restructuring at my permanent employment I found myself wanting to get back into Contracting. Nathan was my first GoTo person. Within a couple of weeks, I had an interview and a couple of days later had a start date for a new contract. Everything from starting the process to get a contract, bringing me up to speed with the changes since I last contracted, to the training on the timesheet reporting, to commencing the contract was flawless and absolutely First Class. My new contract was coming to an end and Nathan, 1 month in advance of my finish date, contacted the client and 3 days later had received a 6-month extension to my current contract – fantastic news for sure. Highly recommend CAPU. Pure Professionals through every step of the process.
Gary Brown
When I was looking for a new challenge, I was fortunate enough to encounter Nathan and Duncan. Working with CAPU was very different. By the time I got to interview stage, both parties had so much information about each other it was a ridiculously relaxed and easy process. Nathan supported all the way. It didn't end with the offer either. A card and gifts to welcome you to the CAPU family, we keep in touch and it really does feel like a little family. Especially knowing that many of my colleagues were also part of that family.
Whether a candidate or a hiring manager, please consider CAPU. They really will try to do what's best for you.
Louise Jones
I can highly recommend CAPU Search. Both Duncan and Nathan take the time to get know their clients and are a pleasure to deal with. They have a wealth of industry knowledge and understand the best client and contractor fit, making the complete process a smooth one. Thank you!
