about us
More about
XCB...
We’re much more than just a rec2rec agency putting bums on seats for average agencies.
Our values
Our culture is one of working very hard but always in a fair way. We let our consultants choose and agree on their own KPIs, for example, so everyone is working is giving their maximum 100% effort, but against actions they believe in to generate results.
Hover Box Element
Hard but Fair.
We don’t just ‘understand’ our customer’s challenges – we truly get them. Having been there on both sides of the fence before, our experience allows us to empathise with situations fully and provide practical solutions to solve them.
Hover Box Element
Understanding, with Empathy.
Our constant communication enables us to keep everyone’s expectations managed throughout, whilst our drive to over-deliver ensures we exceed those expectations at every opportunity.

Expectations = Managed & Exceeded.
testimonials
Petra has a serious eye for spotting opportunities within people and matching them with the right companies. I was looking for a career change, and within minutes, she identified my skillset, personality, and ambitions, and within a week, I was interviewing.
XCB Candidate
Effective and efficient, especially when a role needs to be filled at short notice, I have no hesitation in recommending Petra, having worked with her for over 5 years across two different organisations. She is the consummate professional at understanding the client’s requirements for the role.

We focus on long-term business growth, not just filling the latest vacant billing seat. We take a genuine interest in the immediate and future plans of every agency we partner with, ensuring tailored solutions are fit-for-purpose and the antitheses of a one-size-fits-all approach.
