Tech Executive-Search Platform
A specialist platform for finding tech leaders who fit technically and culturally — designed for confidentiality, speed, and signal over noise.
At a glance: Ethereal designed a hiring platform that helps a recruitment firm find and confidentially track senior tech leaders who fit both the job and the culture, working from a ready pool of pre-vetted candidates. Design improvements lifted task success to 93% and cut wrong taps to under 18%.
The Problem
Tech organizations struggle to identify, evaluate, and retain leaders who fit both technically and culturally. Generic outreach and fragmented communications produce long cycles, bad hires, and zero confidentiality.
Leaders must fit technically and culturally — generic outreach can judge neither.
Fragmented communication stretches searches into long, costly cycles.
Executive moves are sensitive; off-the-shelf tools leak signal and identity.
The Solution
We designed a specialist search platform and service: dedicated ongoing recruitment contracts, a centralized talent tool tracking activity, candidate detail, and a pre-screened pool, plus strategic profile mapping across skills, experience, leadership style, and cultural fit.
Research
Interviews with recruiters and hiring leaders define what 'good fit' actually means.
IA & Wireframes
Talent tracking, candidate detail, and profile mapping get one coherent structure.
Design System
A hi-fi system carries both the platform and the ongoing recruitment service.
Usability Testing
Iterations are validated in Maze — relocating feedback lifted task success to 93%.
