Our Story
Our Story
Xceed Group LLC was co-founded in 2010 after decades of experience working in recruiting, public accounting and premier banking for high-net-worth clients.
And like everyone, we've experienced our share of poor (and sometimes outright horrible) management, leaving us with so many stories to tell. We've seen fantastic and capable teams fall victim and fall apart, leading to high turnover rates, and as a result, a downturn in business success. On the other hand, we've seen talented people and ambitious candidates struggle with finding the right role as the competitive market shifts.
As we built Xceed, we struggled through the growing pains, hiring, team management, scaling, balancing logistics, and more. We've been there and we have been employers and employees, entrepreneurs, contractors, and permanent hires. We know all sides of the story, the importance of connections and support networks, and the power of inspiring, fulfilling, rewarding work environments with great leaders.
We thought, why don't we do it ourselves? We took it on ourselves to form Xceed, in order to find and match the best workplaces and the best candidates together, building teams where each person is valued in a company that becomes like family.
Ultimately, we are people-people - we put people-first. We're in the people business. No, we're more than that: we're family.
