  • Smarter Sourcing Strategies: We use targeted, insight-led search methods to uncover talent others overlook — identifying professionals who align with your culture as well as your brief.
  • High-Commitment Delivery: We focus on quality, not volume. By committing fully to each assignment, we deliver stronger relationships, faster processes, and hires that last.
  • Employer Brand Amplification: We position your organisation as an employer of choice, highlighting your mission, values, and culture in a competitive market.
  • Future-Focused Talent Pipelining: We help you prepare for tomorrow by embedding inclusive hiring practices and building proactive pipelines of purpose-aligned professionals.

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.

Testimonials

For a fast-growth startup struggling to fill a complex role combining technical expertise, management experience and languages, Xist4 quickly delivered standout candidates and smoothly coordinated a multi-country interview process. We ended up choosing between two top talents and would recommend Xist4 for quality delivery, sharp selection advice and impeccable communication.

For five years, Xist4 has reliably delivered high-quality engineers for n.able’s complex, high-tech needs. In the last two years alone, they have found 14 of our new recruits, and their professionalism and understanding stand out.

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.

As a FinTech start-up without a dedicated HR team, we needed a specialist who truly “gets it”. Xist4 matched both the technical and cultural brief, quickly placing two outstanding Quant Developers; we’ll be partnering with them again and highly recommend their work.
