Our Team.

At Fifth Decade, we are more than a team of experienced recruiters, we are advocates for experience. As a team of seasoned recruitment professionals in our fifth decade, we understand the challenges of getting noticed in a hiring landscape that often overlooks expertise in favor of assumptions. We specialise exclusively in executive search and permanent placements. 

We are committed to connecting professionals in their fifth decade with long-term career opportunities that match their expertise and leadership abilities. Unlike agencies focused on contract or temporary roles, our mission is to help businesses build strong, experienced teams by placing seasoned candidates in impactful, permanent positions. We work closely with both candidates and employers to ensure that every placement is not just a job, but the next meaningful step in a lasting career. 

We’ve lived it. We know what it’s like to bring decades of wisdom, leadership, and innovation to the table, only to face barriers that shouldn’t exist. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to champion professionals over 50, connecting them with organisations that recognise talent, not just trends. With deep industry knowledge and firsthand insight, we work closely with both job seekers and businesses to ensure experience is valued, opportunities are accessible, and careers continue to thrive, beyond the outdated expectations of age. Because hiring should be about ability. And we make sure it is.
