About Sentient Search
Overview
Sentient Search is a boutique senior and executive search firm based in Melbourne, specialising in technology, strategy and transformation roles across APAC. Founder-led and built on more than two decades of relationships, it fills the hires that are too important to get wrong, from CTOs to niche technical specialists. We designed and built the site end to end in Framer.
The Challenge
As recruitment becomes more automated, Sentient made a deliberate choice to go the other way. The site had to:
Make that human, partner-led stance the core message, not a footnote.
Clearly separate three services: Senior Search, Executive Search and Niche Technology Hires.
Prove results to senior buyers who are skeptical of recruiters.
Feel premium and discreet, matching confidential executive work.
Drive one action: start a search or book a call.
Design and Build in Framer
We designed an editorial, understated visual system and built it directly in Framer, with no handoff between design and development. The site includes:
A hero built around “Modern search, tailored for technology,” with Start A Search as the primary action.
A “Sentient Difference” section that turns the brand name into a promise: conscious, present, aware.
Service cards with role examples, so buyers can self-identify in seconds.
Animated counters for search success, referral placements, retention and time to fill.
A featured case study, a founders section and a testimonial carousel.
A CMS-driven Insights hub and case study pages the team can publish on its own.
Responsive layouts, reduced-motion support and SEO fundamentals.
Outcome
Sentient Search launched with a premium, fast and editable site that makes a human-first search model credible at a glance and gives senior buyers a clear path to start a conversation.
