An executive search firm, dressed for the AI era
Website design for an AI & technology recruitment firm
Mason Alexander is a talent firm placing people into AI and technology companies — from seed-stage startups through Series C — with offices in New York and Dublin. The site had to feel like the room those companies actually sit in.
The challenge
The people they work with are building frontier AI companies, and they have seen every polished site there is. A recruitment firm gets judged in seconds: too corporate and it reads like a CV mill, too casual and it loses the enterprise mandate. It also had to serve clients and candidates in two markets at once, without feeling like two different companies.
The approach
Built a dark, quiet editorial site — near-black canvas, one violet accent, a lot of room to breathe — and let the proof do the talking: partner logos from seed to Series C teams, and recommendations from the Head of HR at xAI, the CEO of eMed and the CTO of Glimpse AI, given full quotes instead of a testimonial carousel. Each search service gets its own clear page, and 'Start a search' stays in the nav the whole way down.
The outcome
A site that looks like it belongs in the same room as the companies it hires for — a calm, credible front door for a firm whose whole product is judgment about people.
