Who We Are
Meet the founder and team behind BrilliantIn
Brilliant Talent. Brilliant Results. Brilliantin.
Founder
Nicholas Eaton, MREC (BA hons, Business & Finance)
Nicholas is a recruitment leader with 25+ years’ experience hiring top talent across the UK, Europe, the U.S. and the Middle East (including Dubai). With 150+ glowing testimonials, he’s known for straight talking, great communication, and actually doing what he says he’ll do.
He’s worked across pretty much every sector worth mentioning – SaaS, HR Tech, FinTech, Sports & Major Events, ConTech, Professional Services, Engineering, Utilities, Legal and more, delivering full 360° recruitment with a smile (and usually a ‘dad joke’).
Nicholas founded Brilliantin Recruitment to blend real-world experience with smart AI tools, making hiring faster, smarter and far more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Recruitment & Operations Director
Linda Bryant
Linda is the strategic backbone of Brilliantin Recruitment. She works tirelessly with our dynamic resourcing team, ensuring that they remain motivated, engaged, and focused on the individual needs of our clients so that the longlists they deliver to the Talent Directors are on target and ready to be further explored before shortlisting. This is a crucial piece of the Brilliantin formula and ensures that the client’s needs are met throughout the recruitment process.
In addition to leading a total of six in the resourcing team, Linda also keeps a keen eye on market trends, which allows her to accurately set goals within the organisation to promote the growth of the business. Her strong financial background gives her real and effective insight into budget forecasting, which she greatly uses when developing plans and strategies to improve productivity and reduce costs.
Linda is the definition of an Operations Director and embodies the ethos, work ethic, and dedication that have come to define the Brilliantin Recruitment brand. Amazingly, she does all this while raising two children, looking after the family dogs, and squeezing in the occasional Netflix binge. Where the energy comes from, we will never know.
