One of the best recruitment companies I've come across in almost 20 years in IT. As a recent candidate for one of their advertised roles, I found Gozie to be highly professional and courteous and extremely helpful throughout the process and I would highly recommend them.

Very pleasant and straight forward recruitment. I wasn't bombarded with jobs I had no interested in, and there was none of the dubious sales chat you tend to get with a lot of recruitment agencies. Thank you Gozie for helping me find a job that fits my interests.

Report
XIST4 were able to find several very suitable candidates for our software developer position recently. Their candidate screening process was transparent and provided questions which enabled us to very quickly see the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate. Candidates came from a wide spread of education, experience and region so we felt that we did not miss out on suitable applicants. Our agent, Gozie, was available when we needed him and arranged contact with candidates quickly and efficiently, he was never pushy or requiring constant attention like so many recruiters, always polite and fast to respond.
The top 2 candidates out of a shortlist of 4 came from XIST4. I would certainly recommend XIST4 for IT and Software Development recruitment, thanks especially to Gozie. Peter Todd - Operations Manager at 3D printer development company CEL in the UK
