The best roles aren't advertised. They move through networks, referrals, and people who know people. Unless you're already connected, you're on the outside looking in. Dex exists to fix that.

The recruitment industry is worth almost a trillion dollars and yet the experience for everyone involved has barely improved in decades. For candidates, it's opaque and demoralising. For companies, it's noisy and expensive. And the more AI gets involved without care, the worse it gets. Dex is built to change that.
We believe meaningful work matters. Not just for careers, but for lives. But many people spend years in jobs that don't fit, at companies that don't care, on work that doesn't matter. Finding the right team, the right opportunity, and the right challenge is often the biggest obstacle in their journey.
Dex aims to redefine how talent and opportunity connect.
Paddy, our CEO, recruited for 10 years across 100+ tech companies and saw how disillusioned candidates were with the systems built for hiring. Harry, our CTO, was fed up writing code for keyword-matching resumes.
We're building Dex to do recruitment differently, by putting people at the centre, not algorithms. Read what TechCrunch said here.
"CV spam bots and dehumanising AI interviewers are turning a bad process into an inhuman one. We need Dex."
