What we do

Your strategic recruitment partner

Hiring today is not simply about filling roles. It is about securing the people who will strengthen your strategy, accelerate progress and build long-term resilience.

At Xist4, we work as an extension of your team. Our approach is clear, structured and human, giving you a recruitment partner who prioritises quality, insight and delivery from first conversation to final hire.

We operate a partnership-led model that focuses on fewer assignments at a time. This ensures you receive our full attention, honest market feedback and consistent results, even when the brief is complex or business critical.

What We Offer

We help you attract, engage and retain professionals who elevate your organisation and shape its future.

  • Enhanced Candidate Journeys:  Our Candidate Journey Blueprint creates a thoughtful, transparent experience that keeps candidates engaged and reduces withdrawals throughout the process.
  • Smarter, Insight-Led Search: We use targeted sourcing strategies and market intelligence to identify talent that aligns with your culture and requirements.
  • High-Commitment Delivery:  We focus on quality, not volume. By committing fully to each assignment, we deliver stronger relationships, faster processes and hires that stay.
  • Employer Brand Support: We help position your organisation as a destination for purpose-driven professionals by highlighting your mission, values, and long-term opportunities.
  • Future-Focused Talent Pipelining: We support your forward planning by building talent pools that reduce future hiring pressure and strengthen your organisational resilience.
  • Onboarding & Retention Support: Our involvement continues after the offer stage. We stay engaged to help new hires embed, perform and thrive in their first months.

What Our Clients Say

“We worked closely with Xist4 to recruit several critical roles in a highly competitive market — including IT infrastructure, software development, and cyber security positions. Their deep understanding of technical requirements and consistent communication made a real difference. We successfully hired across all roles, and the service from Gozie Ezulike was professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough.”

Testimonials

Xist4’s transparent screening made it easy to compare strengths, and they delivered a diverse, on-profile slate for our Software Developer role. Gozie was responsive and never pushy, and the top two of our final four came from Xist4; we would happily recommend them.

In a tough market, Xist4 helped us fill critical IT Infrastructure and Development roles quickly and effectively. Gozie delivered a highly professional service throughout, and we successfully appointed every position.

Xist4’s professionalism and flexible approach made a real difference in solving our recruitment challenges. They delivered quality candidates against urgent requirements, leading to successful appointments.

Launching our Bristol office from the US, we needed fast, safe hires; Xist4 delivered pre-interviewed, screened CVs within 24 hours and kept the quality high throughout. Within two weeks we were spoilt for choice and confidently made our selections, and we highly recommend them for complex remote hiring.
