For these companies and more we’ve made placements in 25 cities, in 17 countries across the Americas, EMEA and APAC.

 
 

For us candidate experience is also paramount in order to help our clients secure top talent, and this is candidate feedback we’ve received that provides insight into our style as ambassadors for our clients.

“From the outset the consultant at Excelsior spent a great deal of time discussing all aspects of my career, exactly what I was looking for, what I wanted and what suited my personal circumstances best.  I felt at all times that Excelsior worked very hard in not just finding a placement but finding the ‘right’ career opportunity for me.  It was also apparent from the prospective employers I met with that the consultants at Excelsior had also spent a lot of time understanding their needs.  I trusted the consultants at Excelsior.  To summarise I would say that the service was first class, the career advice very good and that Excelsior are definitely a superior recruitment consultancy compared to any other I have worked with before.”

“Thanks for your help. You are really one of the best recruiters I've worked with.“

“I would like to thank you for your response and explanation on the African sales position. In this day and age to get an email back if you are rejected as an applicant is very rare let alone an explanation of reason why. I wanted to thank you for the effort and commend you on your professionalism.”

“The whole process from the first contact and explaining the opportunity, to preparation for meetings and contract negotiations was fully transparent. I felt comfortable and had a nice feeling of trustworthiness with your company representatives.”

“You have been extremely professional and it is great dealing with somebody as efficient as yourself.”

“I want to thank you for your great job, I am very grateful to you for the way you have supported and advised me. I am more than keen to express very positive feedback on you and forward your contact details to anyone I might know looking for new opportunities in future.”

”The consultants at Excelsior were useful at giving independent career advice without trying to pressurize me into making a decision.”
