Working with us

We are specialist recruiters in Sales, Marketing, Back-office support, HR and Accountancy & Finance

At the heart of everything we do is collaboration.

We work with our clients to ensure we get to know their business so we can find them the perfect candidates. We don’t just want to find them a candidate that ticks all their boxes but a candidate that’s going to be the right cultural fit and will immediately feel like a member of the family.

Turning a negative into a positive

Recruitment companies have a bad name. For many recruiters with strict targets, they have to churn a lot of CVs and fill a lot of roles quickly. That’s not how we work.

We won’t just send you a pile of CVs off the bat. Instead, we will get to know your business, get to know the team, and understand where this role fits in. We will work with you to understand what boxes need to be checked, and more importantly those little extra bits you’re looking for before interviewing a shortlist of candidates on your behalf. We will then send you just a small handful of candidates that we feel will work for you saving you a lot of manpower and time with a long interview process.

Giving you a personalised experience

No two businesses are the same, so why should a recruitment company only offer one recruitment package? We work with you on a collaborative and consultative basis which means what we offer you can be completely bespoke.

As we’re a small business we can offer the flexibility that others can’t and can ensure that we can give you exactly the kind of service you’re looking for.

We want you to feel like we’re part of your business and to know that we’re invested in the success of your business. It’s one of the reasons we have our pricing structure the way we do and why we work with our clients long term. Within our first few months of trading, we managed one client’s whole recruitment drive, generating 12 successful hires in just 6 months.

We matchmake forward-thinking companies with the perfect candidates

We will use our networks to find candidates who might not necessarily be looking to leave and therefore might not ordinarily apply for your advertised role.

We use the power of our business networks, our investment in the growth of your business, and our experience, to help make long-lasting connections between client and candidate.

We invest in you and your candidate

Most of the time, if you employ a recruiter you pay the recruiter a fee on the candidate’s start date. We do things differently.

At Exceda, we have a dual investment model. Moneywise this means that you spread your payments across a 3, 6, or even 12 month period and if things don’t work out with the candidate then you simply stop paying us.

What that means in terms of your recruitment experience, is that we will keep in contact with the candidate and you throughout these months, helping to deal with any issues that arise to help improve staff retention. It also spreads the cost over a period of months meaning that you pay for the service as you reap the benefit, and when the person you take on proves themselves to be a valuable asset to your team and delivers results over time.

This is a unique model within the recruitment market and we think it’s a win-win!

“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, has brilliant personal skills and is a huge credit to her team. Can’t thank her enough for her hard work”

— Sanjay, Marketing Analyst

“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!”
