Trusted Talent for Digital Transformation

Helping digital and technology services firms hire the people who make transformation happen.

About 2XR

2XR was founded by Rob Andrews, who combines more than 15 years of recruitment experience with a background in Director-level roles inside digital and technology services firms. Having built consulting, delivery and business development teams himself, Rob brings a rare dual perspective to every search.

This sector insight shapes every aspect of 2XR’s approach. It means taking the time to understand each client’s world, focusing on accuracy rather than volume, and presenting candidates who are aligned culturally, commercially and technically.

2XR supports both permanent hires and contract or interim appointments. Larger firms value the precision and consistency of personally delivered executive search. Fast-growing digital and IT services consultancies trust 2XR to provide high-quality contractors at pace, especially when bench risk or short-notice demand makes internal resourcing difficult.

For clients, it means time saved and confidence that every candidate will be on brief.
For candidates, it means being represented by someone who genuinely understands their world.
