About Us

Why Xquisite?

Have you ever been to a restaurant and had a fabulous meal, and you’re telling your best friend “it was absolutely Exquisite”.
The Hotel on your last Holiday was “absolutely Exquisite”

Exquisite, the very best it could be, far better than your expectations, simply superb.

It was this goal of excellence we had firmly in our sight from the outset that is the fulcrum of what we do as a recruitment company.

Xquisite, originally the agency with the X factor, long before the television show, the focus is now on our “Sheer Xpertise”

It’s through this vast experience gained that we are able and confident in recruiting for any type and level of position, anywhere in the UK.

Firstly, we welcome, appreciate, and are ready to work on any opportunity given to us to recruit on behalf of your company.

We will listen whilst you give us the details of the opportunity, and we’ll research your company in order that we are able to get a feel for the business and its mission statement and aspirations.

This way we can talk to potential candidates for the position at your company from a position of knowledge.

We advertise extensively and have our backroom resources diligently searching and reviewing the very best CVs that mirror your Job Criteria.

We do not take the scattergun approach to CV’s of some agencies, we will talk to suitable potential candidates at length about your vacancy, giving and receiving all relevant information, we find really talking to the candidates at length often highlights who we feel has the most suitable experience, character, and overall fit for your position.
