    Grateful for a day spent at InfoSec Europe 2025 reconnecting with peers, colleagues, and industry leaders. Beyond the innovative technologies and discussions, it was a reminder that the real strength of our industry lies in its people, their expertise, resilience, and drive for positive change. It was a pleasure catching up with so many familiar faces and making meaningful new connections. Looking forward to building on these conversations and continuing to drive impact together. #Leadership #InfoSec2025 #CyberSecurity #Networking #Innovation

  • At 55 Exec Search, we've always focused on engaging with passive candidates, those who aren’t actively looking but are open to the right opportunity. It’s fascinating how key motivators can vary significantly. Lately, we’re seeing a shift in what resonates most. For some, it’s financial growth. For others, it’s flexibility, especially the ability to work remotely or on their own terms. And then there are those driven by career progression or the chance to work on something truly meaningful. 👀  Take a moment to vote and let us know what really matters to you #PassiveCandidates #CareerMotivation #TalentAcquisition #FutureOfWork

  • The Hidden Cost of Hiring the Wrong Talent 🫣   Hiring decisions aren’t just about filling roles; they’re long-term business investments. And when the wrong hire is made, the cost goes far beyond salary and agency costs.   ✅ Lower performance ✅ Lost time ✅ Team disruption ✅ Missed market opportunities ✅ And often, starting the process all over again   Working with a specialist head-hunter who knows the market and has a network of talent can be the difference between a successful hire, a new client win, a seven-figure client renewal, or an inspired team. All too often, companies focus on the recruitment agency's cost rather than their market knowledge and accessibility to the best candidates, instead of just those actively applying to an advertised position.    Here at 55 Exec Search, our mantra is to target the best candidates in the market and approach them with a compelling EVP on behalf of our clients, explaining why they may want to consider a well-matched opportunity.    In many cases, the issue isn’t a lack of candidates, it’s a lack of access to the right candidates.   This is where specialist headhunters can make the difference.   We go beyond job boards and active applicants to engage top-tier talent, people who may not be looking, but who are exactly what your business needs.   Hiring the best available talent in the market, rather than the best applicants, is what drives a competitive advantage.   📌 In a fast-moving market, making the right hire the first time isn’t a luxury… It’s a necessity! #recruitment #tech #headhunting #clients #candidates #talent

  • When we started this agency 3 years ago, we knew the road wouldn't be easy, but we didn’t expect the level of resilience it would demand. The recruitment landscape has shifted dramatically over the past few years. Like many others, we’ve faced market uncertainty, changing client demand, and economic uncertainty. But through it all, we’ve learned, adapted, and, most importantly, had fun despite the challenges presented. We have had numerous successes, which we are extremely proud of. We remain a trusted partner for many organisations and a reliable advisor for the best tech talent in the market. This milestone means more than a number. To us, it means: - Partnering with clients who trusted us with their growth plans - Candidates who let us be a part of their career journey - A small but mighty team that gave their all - Lessons learned, sometimes the hard way We are incredibly proud of what we've achieved and excited about what's ahead. If the last three years were about building the foundation, the next three are about continuing to grow with purpose, immersing ourselves even more with our clients and supporting our candidates in developing successful careers. To every client, candidate and connection who’s been part of the journey, a huge thank you from 55 Exec Search! We wouldn't be here without you! Here’s to the next chapter 🥳 🍾
