Exceda | Your recruitment partners
SALES | MARKETING | BACK-OFFICE SUPPORT | HR | ACCOUNTANCY & FINANCE
We’re a boutique recruitment consultancy, working with clients and candidates across The Midlands.
Why work with us? We invest our time in getting to know our clients and our candidates.
Our founder, Nikki Sargent has worked in recruitment for over 15 years. Throughout her career, she has specialised in senior appointments, right up to the c-suite.
You’ll find us approachable, professional and 100% focused on delivering a consultative and quality service tailored to your specific recruitment needs.
In a short time, we’ve already received some fantastic feedback.
“The entire experience with Exceda, from my first meeting, during the interview process and communication throughout, was exceptional. Nikki is a pleasure to work with and has an open, honest and supportive approach to ensure the job match works for both the candidate and employer. Exceda are personable, professional and proactive, I would not hesitate to recommend their services to both employers and candidates, indeed I already have!”
- Kelly, Marketing and Communications Manager
“What made a difference for me personally was that Nikki took the time to understand us as an employer and our business, which seemed to result in a more suitable shortlist of candidates. Getting to know us and the candidates, to understand what both parties were looking for and seeing if there was a fit has resulted in 5 great new employees in less than a few months. I think Nikki is a great listener and not a sales pitch talker!”
- Kupesh, Partner
“Nikki has a very professional approach, she is knowledgeable and supportive. The very friendly and open sessions I had with Nikki helped us both to structure a good plan for the interviews and to understand what the role was requiring. Fantastic in building and maintaining relationships, Nikki follows up every step of the interview, she is communicating regularly and kindly takes into consideration that every candidate would like to be kept in the loop during the hiring process. Thank you for a great experience Nikki.”
- Angelica, National Account Manager
We invest in our clients and our candidates
We invest our time and resource into finding you the right hire, and maintain a relationship well beyond a candidate’s start date.
Our approach is consultative and collaborative. The businesses we work with are our partners.
We can work with you on roles from Entry Level to Director hires in a range of sectors including marketing, sales, HR, accounting and finance, and back-office support.
A new approach for a new era of work
The last few years have completely overhauled the way we work. Novel working practices, innovative technologies and a rapidly evolving approach to employee engagement, all mean that employers have to adapt in order to retain top talent.
At Exceda, we recognise these changes. We embrace them, and, in some cases, we lead them. We do things differently. When we work with you, there’ll be no tired old one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, you’ll receive a range of bespoke recruitment options specifically designed to work for your business.
And we can offer you a lot more than just recruitment. Gone are the days of just using a recruiter to fill a role, we have a completely holistic approach to matching the right candidate with the right role.
Your payment plans will reflect this. No one-off percentage fee, regardless of the success of the appointment. What you pay will depend on the longevity and success of the placement.
Enjoying the Benefits
of a Long-Term Partnership
We know the value of working with companies long term. We don’t see working with you as a series of one-off recruitment projects but as a mutually fruitful ongoing relationship. We’ll invest our recruitment expertise into the future success of your company and into the careers of the candidates we represent.
We relish the prospect of getting to know your company – its success, its challenges, its ambitions and its culture. This approach gives us the best chance of matching the right talent with your company.
You’ll enjoy the benefits of a dedicated recruitment expert working with you at all times – someone who will invest in your business’s growth and work with you to develop recruitment as an ongoing process, bringing in good people rather than quick hires.
A Unique Fee Structure
We believe that ours is a truly unique fee structure that is currently not offered by other firms. You pay us on a shared investment basis.
Shared investment means that the cost reflects the success of the appointment. You only pay as you reap the benefit, and as the successful candidate proves themselves to be a valuable asset.
That way, it’s in our best interest to find you the perfect candidate, and to work with candidate and client well beyond the start date.
Meet our founder
I’ve worked in recruitment for over 15 years, fulfilling senior roles across the Midlands, the UK, and overseas. Throughout my career I’ve always maintained that recruitment is not just about receiving a fee, it’s about building long term partnerships with clients which is why I’ve worked for some of my clients for well over a decade.
I’m a people person, so building long-lasting relationships with candidates and clients and investing in their future and their growth is something I wanted to put at the heart of Exceda. The dual investment payment structure means that the success of the placement is in all our best interests and I am confident in the holistic recruitment approach we offer.

“I worked with many agents over the years but Nikki is easily the best of them all. I came with a brief of what I needed and I got more than I asked for. Nikki listened and took on board everything and delivered to a very high standard. Highly skilled, brilliant personal skills and is a huge credit to her team. Can't thank her enough for her hard work.”
- Sanjay, Marketing Analyst
“It’s rare that you come across standout recruitment talent like Nikki. I was looking for the next step in my career when Nikki had arranged to meet with me, she recognised my capabilities and quickly matched me to a job role. Nikki was excellent in offering me both company information and a real insight into the business before meeting with the Managing Director. I was successfully placed in a Senior Role with a business where I was quickly promoted to the role of Director. As well as this Nikki is kind, thoughtful and helpful but incredibly professional throughout.”
- Daniel, Sales Director
“I worked with Nikki on my recent successful appointment, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Having witnessed a huge difference in professionalism when working with various recruitment agencies; Nikki set the highest bar by a considerable margin. Not only was Nikki extremely professional but she is down to earth and personable, making for a great recruitment experience. I was very impressed from day one.”
- Steve, Business Development Manager
