Pluspunten

Good clients, beer fridge is good

Minpunten

Very poor culture. Very reluctant to let people work from home. No trust in employees and heavy on micro management. No women or BAME employees. Unless you are southern and a sports loving male this is not the place for you.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We value our employee’s views and encourage everyone to take part in engagement surveys and CEO Lunches during their time with us. We continue to work hard to foster a collaborative culture that manifests itself in lots of client-sharing and high billings. Pre-Covid, our facilities and reporting processes did not allow us to have a work from home structure, which we have now addressed. Currently, all of our employees can work from home and we have implemented glide times for those who do want to attend the office. Our long-term policy, following the success of the work from home implementation, is now being reviewed by the CEO to incorporate flexible working into our competitive benefits package. Promoting and supporting diversity is a priority at Xcede. Our aim has always been to have a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone is supported to reach their potential. We have recently made two key hires who are championing diversity and inclusion and helping us enhance our strategy further so that we can keep making improvements. We continue to have an open-door policy, from our CEO through to our Directors and Managers, and encourage all employees, both past and present, to continue offering feedback on any areas of the business. Rest assured, all feedback is taken seriously and actioned. If you would like to discuss any of these matters further, please get in touch.

Pluspunten

Pretty central location so easy to get to as well as having good eating spots around, free fruit, rewarded for deals, a select few normal people you could hang out with at lunch (although saying that, only if you were allowed to have lunch).

Minpunten

Probably THE worst company I have been with. Management micromanage and guide (or misguide in certain cases) and when their guidance had poor feedback from clients or candidates, they don't owe up to their own mistakes but blame the junior. Sending 30 average CVs to clients and spamming another 150 CVs out to prospective clients PER WEEK is the norm. They work on a basis that if you throw enough mud against the wall, some will stick. All spot business and never focus on long term partnerships, not that anyone would want to after being harassed and closed five times every day. They make every effort to not pay commission. And don't get me started on the poor commission structure. Very long hours, definitely no life. Bad hygiene and smell going around in the office and no ventilation.

Thank you for taking the time to review Xcede. We appreciate that recruitment is not for everyone – it’s demanding and rewarding in equal measure, and we appreciate that people will not always want to remain in the industry, however our staff retention remains high relative to our peers. We are an Investors in People Silver certified professional staffing firm. We have an excellent track record of training and developing our staff to deliver class leading recruitment services within the digital marketing space. We are proud of our organic development - two of our equity directors joined as graduates. We successfully partner some of Europe’s most recognisable brands, proving to be an essential component of their recruitment strategy. One of our core beliefs is the value we add on a partnership basis and this reflects in the size and number of accounts we work with. We regularly review our compensation policy and believe we offer one of the most generous commission schemes of any staffing firm. We supplement our reward policy with a host of other benefits. Further we run regular sales incentives to reward high performance with trips to Barcelona, Paris, Ibiza and Chamonix, all happening this year. We run a 10 week training academy, with regular weekly training courses. Additionally we have an external trainer, make regular use of the APSCo training courses and have an executive management coach. Further, if you have worked here – you will be very familiar with the management teams’ open door policy, where all of our staff opinions and suggestions are welcomed and actioned where appropriate. This has led to us to getting a large break out space with free food and drinks, monthly massages, a PS4 and Sonos. Finally, we recently commissioned an external staff satisfaction survey as part of our commitment to providing an excellent work place and scored 86% across all areas. Please do not hesitate to contact a member of the management team if you wish to discuss your experiences further.
