Two sides of the desk

Built for the firms that hire and the people they hire.

Exec-Tech works both ways. Clients get a researched shortlist, not a CV dump. Candidates get a consultant who knows the industry and the key parameters of the role.

For clients

Top-tier, carefully selected candidates.

Where the database doesn't already hold the right people, we run an executive search: interview and profile 20 to 50 potential candidates, then narrow to a shortlist of 5 to 10 who tick most or all of the brief.

  • Retained executive search and contingent specialist hiring
  • Permanent roles from specialist to C-suite
  • Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Europe, LATAM, Thailand, APAC and remote
  • Consultants with 20+ years combined in forex and crypto

For candidates

The right company, not just the next title.

It starts with an introduction call about what you want from a company and where your career is heading. New positions arrive from clients daily, so your CV goes on file and you hear when something fits.

  • Career guidance and interview preparation
  • Salary negotiation on your side
  • Access to roles that never get advertised
  • Support beyond the introduction
