Placing Exceptional Technology Leadership Globally

How We Work

Orbis Search was built on a simple belief: hiring senior technology leaders requires more than recruitment.

The best technical leaders shape companies for years to come. Finding them requires careful market insight, discretion, and a clear understanding of both technology and leadership.

We work closely with founders, executives, and investors to define the leadership mandate, map the relevant talent market, and secure the right individuals to guide organisations through their next stage of growth.

Our focus is not volume.

Our focus is getting critical hires right.

“The greatest technology companies are defined by a small number of high quality leadership hires. My role is to work closely with clients to make those decisions with clarity and confidence.”
— Ted Gibson, Founder & CEO of Orbis
