About Gemma
Gemma's Bio

Gemma joined Astute in December 2017 as a Recruitment Consultant. In January 2023 Gemma was promoted to Team Leader. Gemma works in Astute’s Nuclear Team, recruiting permanent roles such as Project Managers, Senior Engineers, Radiation Protection, Radioactive Waste Management and Health and Safety professionals for leading businesses in the Nuclear Decommissioning space.

Her interest in these sectors sparks from her passion for science, having completed her degree in Biology at the University of Southampton. Gemma is very outgoing and loves socialising and meeting new people. Outside of work, Gemma can be found spending time with her family and friends. She loves to travel and takes every opportunity she can to explore new places, with a particular soft spot for Italy (which has absolutely nothing to do with the exceptional food and wine!).

About Gemma Nixon:

Gemma gave me a rundown of the job over the phone and my question to her was 'Do you yourself, have an engineering qualification ?' as I was totally impressed by her ability to articulate the concept around the role of the engineer at Augean. My first telephone interview went very well because Gemma knew exactly the structure of the interview discussion. I was ready and the interview was a success moving to second stage face to face. Again Gemma did her research very well. The interview session was competency based questions, Gemma advised me to use previous work related examples to answer and it worked. I've never felt comfortable in a high level, intense question and answer session. The opening question made me realise that Gemma was spot on.. 'Tell us what you know about Augean...' Apparently the morning before the interview, Gemma had rung me and practiced this question with her on the phone. She wished me good luck! For me your consultant Gemma Nixon is exceptional. I can honestly describe her as passionate about creating success for others and that she has greater depth knowledge about the Engineering and Consultancy Industry. As a professional candidate seeking for my next role, it is vital that I get paired to a job role that generates interest, and that I receive useful and relevant insight into the hiring manager's background and style of approach. Gemma equipped me with all that knowledge together will useful links to prepare for the interview, I was well looked after :) Overall , I see Gemma as intelligent, polite, knowledgeable and has acute emotional intelligence. I will recommend others and will continue to work with Gemma till I find my next role.
