ABOUT XPERTISE


After more than a decade in IT recruitment, seeing the same old robotic engagement with

clients & candidates, I had a vision, where I saw an agency where consultants would care

and respect candidates and help those people achieve their career ambitions.

I saw an agency that formed relationships with its candidates and clients and worked

hard to earn their trust, not necessarily for short term gain but with a long term

partnership in mind. I envisioned an agency full of authenticity and personality where

we had conversations not sales pitches.

I imagined growing a team of specialist recruiters who were passionate about working

with the best talent enabling our clients to become even more successful. Xpertise was

born with that vision and those values.

Xpertise is a rewarding, close knit team who love what they do. It can be highly rewarding

to see a Junior consultant work their way up the ranks and achieve life goals, like buying a

house, or a luxury holiday. Whatever it is, we share in the success of people’s hard work

and seeing them achieve these milestones. I have never worked in an environment where

each member of the business is aware of the other’s life goals and where they want to get

to. This creates a unique culture.

required to map the market to build

knowledge and expertise. No consultant

can talk to a client until they have delivered

a presentation on “Do you know your

market” to the Directors.

SPECIALISMS

Unlike most IT recruiters, we have

specialist teams only recruiting in one area

of tech. This leads to a far greater

understanding, and much stronger

networks of candidates.

BRAND AMBASSADORS

We want to know your brand inside out so

we can market you honesty and positivity.

GETTING OUT THERE MEETING TALENT

We sponsor Developer and QA Meet Ups,

we attend Agile Meet Ups, we organise IT

leadership events e.g. Women in IT, Data
