Middleton Executive Pty LTD

Middleton Executive Pty LTD is a Melbourne-based hiring firm that provides embedded recruitment, growth hiring and executive search for product and technology organisations. It began as a specialist recruitment agency and says its role changed as its clients grew. It works with founders, leadership teams and boards, and describes its work as partnering globally.

Work is delivered through three engagement models. In embedded talent partnerships it acts as a Fractional Head of Talent, leading hiring strategy and execution from within the client. Project and growth hiring covers defined growth phases or capability builds. Executive and leadership search covers senior and leadership roles. Clients typically engage it during rapid product or technology team expansion, post-funding growth, leadership team build-outs, product launches or restructuring.

The firm is led by its founder and director, Jade Bennett, who has 20 years of experience hiring product and technology professionals. It says it does not advertise all roles publicly, as many are confidential or filled through its network.
