Why Salisi
Technology is not a vertical within recruiting. It is a discipline with its own language, buyer psychology, career paths and talent signals. Everything Salisi does is built around that — and has been, since 2005.
"The difference between a recruiter who understands the technology space and one who doesn't is the difference between a 90-day fill and a 9-month headache."
Simon Lader — VP International, Salisi Human Capital
Our Manifesto
We built Salisi on a set of convictions about what specialist recruitment should look like — and we've never deviated from them.
A CIO, CISO, CRO or VP of Sales who genuinely understands both the technical landscape and the buyer doesn't just fill a seat — they accelerate outcomes, shorten cycles, and change the trajectory of a company. The wrong hire does the opposite. The gap between the two is enormous, and most search firms can't see it.
When you've spent twenty years inside one industry, you see patterns that generalists miss. You know which companies are genuinely performing and which are spinning a story. You know which candidates can sell to a CISO and which can't. Specialism isn't a positioning statement. It's what makes the work better.
The best technology leadership talent is not on job boards. They're inside networks built over years — through referrals, through podcast conversations, through relationships that started long before a role was live. Salisi's twenty-year network is the product.
Intelligence from The Conference Room informs the search. The Academy builds trust with the talent pool before they're active. The Referral Network extends reach. The Talent Intelligence layer sharpens the data. Five specialist brands working together doesn't just make Salisi broader — it makes every individual part of it more effective.
The Difference
Every conversation, relationship and insight lives inside the technology world. Whether you're looking for a CISO for your professional services firm, a CIO for your logistics company, or a CRO for your cybersecurity vendor, we are dedicated specialists. No divided attention.
Our expertise sits at the intersection of technology and commercial leadership — the leaders who drive commercial outcomes.
Five specialist brands working together means better market data, warmer introductions and a fuller picture of the talent landscape than any single-service firm can offer. The Conference Room, the Academy, the Referral Network — they're not marketing. They're infrastructure.
Serving cybersecurity vendors, professional services firms and commercial organizations across North America, Europe and beyond — wherever technical, commercial and GTM leadership talent and opportunity intersect. The same methodology, the same rigour, the same specialist network on both sides of the Atlantic.
Across technical, commercial and Go-To-Market leadership — over two decades of placing the people who build and run technology companies.
The Ecosystem
Whether you need a search, a smarter hiring strategy, community connection or market intelligence — there's a Salisi brand built for it.
