Nick Day
Founder at JGA Recruitment Group
St Albans, England, United Kingdom
I am an award-winning executive Payroll & HR Search Consultant and Founder of JGA Recruitment Group, a niche Payroll & HR Recruitment and Executive Search Firm that supports clients across the UK & EMEA with challenging requisition requirements.
- 2020 "Best Small Perm Recruitment Agency" 2020
- 2019 "Best Payroll & HR Recruitment Agency" Corporate Coaching & Recruitment Awards
- 2019 "Leader within Knowledge and Professional Services" Award Winner (Reward Strategy)
- 2019 included in the "Reward 300" Index Hall of Fame
Over the past 18 years, I have dedicated my life to placing Payroll and HR professionals that have influenced and shaped the payroll and HR landscape we see and work in today.
Passionate about raising the profile of Payroll & HR - I launched (and am podcast host) of two leading podcasts, which have gone on to receive international acclaim. These are:
- The Payroll Podcast | https://jgarecruitment.com/the-payroll-podcast/
- The HR L&D Podcast | https://jgarecruitment.com/the-hr-ld-podcast/
JGA Recruitment Group, founded in 2008 aims to help brands to source, attract and recruit the top 15% of Payroll & HR talent.
Check out our 30+ independent 5* Google Reviews and see for yourself the expert services we provide.
We use fully automated 24/7/365 inbound digital strategies to attract passive talent to brand. We align culture to brand and skills to specifications, which results in us sourcing candidates motivated by the intrinsic value of the job - rather than just pay.
This approach has resulted in significant improvements in employee retention for new hires sourced by our business adding significant value to the clients we support.
In fact, 96% of all Payroll & HR placements made last year were still in employment with the same employer 12 months later. That’s true long-term value.
We use many tools including bespoke video interviewing, psychometric testing and remote onboarding - all of which enable our clients to save time in the hiring process.
I am proud of our partnership approach to recruitment because it delivers genuine value (ROI) to our clients.
If you are open for connecting on a call (video or telephone), want to meet over a real (or virtual) coffee or if you have a challenging Payroll or HR vacancy that needs expert attention, then please get in touch with me.

6 Powerful Ways Leaders Can Create Unmuted Communication Cultures In The Workplace
Nick Day / JGA Recruitment Group
January 30, 2023
Picture yourself in a meeting with high-powered officials.
A room filled with people from different departments, each with their ideas about the company's direction: the group leader presents a proposal and then requests feedback.
The first person speaks up, but the managers prefer to avoid the idea.
Another person speaks up but is interrupted halfway through.
And then another one puts their arm up to make a point but changes their mind and takes it down again.
Finally, the group leader looks around expectantly and requests another comment, but the entire room has fallen silent.
Silence is an insidious thing. It can spread through an organisation like a virus, infecting everyone. Silence makes people think and question, and doubt can start.
Suddenly, an organisation finds itself with no new ideas, little engagement, and slow innovation.
Something must be done to encourage and foster a new culture where employees feel psychologically safe enough to speak up. We need to unmute the workforce.
On The HR L&D Podcast, Global Communication Consultant, TEDx Speaker, Trainer and Author Heather Hansen talked to Nick Day, CEO at JGA Recruitment, about how business leaders can foster unmuted communication cultures where every voice is heard, resulting in greater inclusion, innovation and efficiency across remote and global teams.

Future of Payroll Report 2022
Nick Day / JGA Recruitment Group
October 20, 2022
Managing global workforce issues such as the great resignation, regulatory changes, and technology advancements whilst adapting to future work demands remain top priorities for organisations.
As a result, the future of payroll, at least in the short term, seems to be hellbent on transformation!
From systems to processes and from flexible working to borderless workforces, the changes predicted to impact the future of payroll by 2025 have accelerated and are affecting everyone right now.
I am the Founder/Owner and MD of leading Payroll & HR Specialist Recruitment firm, JGA Recruitment Group.
Winner of the RDLC 2020 "Best Perm Recruitment Agency" Award (voted by recruitment peers in the industry).
In 2019, I was recognised with the "Reward 300" ‘Leader within Knowledge and Professional Services Award' by Reward Strategy for my work placing payroll and HR professionals who influence the payroll and HR landscape we see and work in today

The Payroll Podcast: Episode 100 Special with Nick Day! #100
Nick Day / JGA Recruitment Group
January 30, 2023
Today Nick Day summarises some of the critical topics The Payroll Podcast has covered. These topics include payroll tax compliance; employee benefits; the use of technology; automation; innovation; global complexities; education; payroll’s evolution from transactional operation to strategic function; payroll career pathways, and much more!
The Covid pandemic accelerated a change in perspective towards Payroll. Payroll professionals were rightly praised as they worked tirelessly to keep the UK paid after over 11.7 million employee jobs were put through the furlough scheme at the cost of £70 billion. World leaders, such as the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, even publicly thanked the efforts of payroll practitioners “for playing your part in what has been an extraordinary effort.” As a result, Payroll has been thrust into the limelight, and with it, we have seen an explosion of new payroll career pathways open within the industry.
Therefore, as we embark on the next 100 episodes, Nick will continue to endeavour to cover a wide range of topics, from digitisation and automation to global payroll transformation and emerging trends, and much more!
However, before we look forward, Nick also wants to look back at some of the many insights and conversations that have helped shape the payroll industry into what it is today.

Why Payroll plays the role of the cycling domestique
Thinkers360
September 05, 2022
Following the recent completion of the Tour De France and Tour De France Femmes, we have seen incredible cyclists win new records and accolades for their achievements. Yet most do not realise that those who finish with the coveted yellow jersey only do so thanks to their trusted ‘domestiques.’
But what is a domestique?
Quite literally, the French word “domestique” means “servant.” Within the realm of cycling, a domestique is a title given to a cyclist who holds the critical role of providing support to the top team lead rider, known as the ‘Captain.’ The domestique has several essential responsibilities, including being a pacemaker or riding out in front so that the lead cyclist can ride in their slipstream, saving them precious energy for that push for the finish at the end of the race. The domestique’s fundamental role is to help the Captain rider win races and stay ahead of the competition.
It is a selfless position that involves demanding work and considerable suffering, all for someone else to take the glory! In no other sport does such a role exist. However, it does exist in business. The profile of the domestique is similar to the role payroll operations play in business.
Aligning the cycling domestique to the role payroll plays in business.
A lead cyclist would fall behind without the support of their domestique, similarly, companies without solid payroll operations are likely to suffer behind their competitors. Inefficient or inaccurate payroll operations typically result in high staff attrition and low morale, meanwhile the fiscal penalties for errors can be severe. Getting payroll wrong or failing to comply with complex regulations can not only lead to increased costs and fines, but it has a knock-on impact on employee wellness, attrition, and engagement if employees are paid incorrectly.
The payroll department is therefore the backbone that supports and enables companies to function efficiently. Effective payroll operations allow stakeholders and business leaders to concentrate on what they know best: running the business and delivering strategic initiatives that provide a competitive advantage. Payroll operations support businesses to allow them to operate efficiently and competitively.
Why is the role of the payroll domestique so important?
Slick payroll operations also help support the employee experience, driving employee engagement upward. However, when employees experience payroll mistakes, this can be extremely disengaging, leading to critical workforce issues such as high attrition and challenges attracting new employees into the business. Recently, several stories in the news have appeared highlighting payroll errors within major employers that have resulted in employees needing to secure loans from payday lenders or even cutting back on meals to make ends meet. Such situations create tremendous financial stress and anxiety for employees, and it can profoundly impact motivation, productivity, retention, absenteeism, and attraction. With the UK facing an unprecedented cost of living crisis, the ability of a company to process accurate payroll operations has never been more critical.
The silent sound of success!
Like a domestique, it is rare for a payroll professional to receive praise for their work, which often goes unnoticed. Similarly, to domestiques, payroll professionals are happy to silently contribute to the ultimate success for which business leaders take the public plaudits. And yet, if things go wrong, (as recent headlines have shown), it is the payroll professional that is often the first line of defence to take the blame if organisational performance drops or errors occur.
That is precisely why payroll professionals are like cycling domestiques. Payroll operations focus on avoiding and identifying issues before they occur. When a rare error does arise, they take responsibility for addressing it effectively and quickly to minimise performance disruption and safeguard the leaders they support. In payroll, the power of silence is the only award required as silence acknowledges a job well done. The same is true for the cycling domestique.
The best domestiques become eventual winners.
Integral to the success of any organisation is the payroll department. Crucial to the success of any lead rider in the Tour De France is the domestique. In fact, numerous top domestiques have gone on to become Grand Tour winners. Recently, Geraint Thomas became a Tour De France winner in 2018 after initially being the lead domestique to Chris Froome in his 2016 and 2017 Tour victories. From 2012 to 2018, Team Sky invested £150m to help them win the Tour six out of seven times during this period. Team Sky’s investment in recruiting top domestiques and then nurturing this talent was critical to the team’s success, which included three different Grand Tour winners: Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas.
In the world of payroll, we are seeing more businesses than ever committing investment into the recruitment process to ensure they can secure the best payroll talent available. Meanwhile, payroll professionals continue to rise in profile as business leaders begin to understand the contributions effective payroll operations can have on achieving organisational success.
Top accountancy firms are now promoting payroll professionals to Partnership level roles. In addition, award-winning payroll recruitment firm, JGA Recruitment Group recently reported that they have secured a record number of payroll director-level requisitions as companies begin to hire executive level payroll talent.
Effective payroll operations are now synonymous with business success.
Effective payroll operations have become synonymous with improved employee retention, attraction, wellness, and engagement metrics. JGA Recruitment Group founder Nick Day expects this to continue:
“Payroll is notoriously complex and navigating payroll successfully starts with recruiting the right payroll talent. Top-performing payroll operations improve performance, increase employee engagement, and save organisations both time and money.”
