Cultural and Heritage Institution with Multi-Site Operations

Successfully sourcing top-tier talent for a wide range of senior and technical roles across London and Cambridgeshire.

The Challenge

A world renowned museum with offices in London, Cambridgeshire and Manchester approached Xist4 many years ago after struggling to find a recruitment agency capable of handling their diverse technical hiring needs.

The institution needed a recruitment partner capable of delivering across diverse roles, from technical specialists like Cyber Security Analysts, Linux Administrators, and Application Developers to senior and leadership positions such as Infrastructure Team Leaders, Technical Web Managers, Infrastructure Managers, and Head of Platforms & Development. Equally important was a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by organisations in this sector. With budget constraints as a key consideration, they sought an agency that could balance cost-effectiveness with high-quality placements.

The Solution

Xist4 worked closely with the institution to create a tailored recruitment strategy that addressed their specific challenges and needs. Key elements of our approach included:

• Bespoke Talent Acquisition: Designing a tailored recruitment process that utilised job boards, industry networks, and our extensive database to attract a diverse pool of qualified candidates. Leveraging our extensive network, we identified candidates with both the technical expertise and the cultural fit required for the roles.
• Deep Understanding of Requirements: Taking the time to fully understand the organisation’s culture, technical needs, and budgetary limitations.
• Empathetic Partnership: Offering a flexible and transparent recruitment model that aligned with the institution’s financial constraints without compromising on quality.
• Exclusive Engagement: Working on an exclusive basis for all roles, allowing us to focus our resources and build a trusted, long-term partnership with the client.

The Result

Xist4 achieved a 100% success rate in filling all the roles the institution engaged us on, reaching double figures in successful placements. Our ability to consistently deliver high-quality candidates has been instrumental in supporting the institution’s technical operations across both their London and Cambridgeshire offices.

The candidates placed by Xist4 not only met the requirements of each role but also embraced the institution’s mission and values, allowing them to make a meaningful impact across the organisation.
