55 Exec Search

55 Exec Search is a technology executive search company founded by Nik Patel, who is its CEO. It says it has over 25 years' experience serving both clients and candidates, and that it places talent with organisations globally. It approaches the passive candidate market, headhunting people who are not actively looking for a job.

The company works through five core divisions: Leadership, Cyber Security, Digital, Data and Technology. The leadership division covers chief executive, chief financial and chief technology officer roles, among other senior positions. Its delivery team recruits from mid-level to C-level for start-up and global technology organisations.

Alongside search, it offers advisory consulting to help clients manage their recruitment needs, and says it can scale resourcing through onshore and offshore partners. For candidates it provides help with CVs, interview coaching and negotiating packages.
