Nexus is a single-column executive search landing page built for tech and software recruiting firms. It combines a slow-scrolling logo bar, asymmetric testimonial mosaic, and a five-question branching assessment quiz to convert both hiring companies and executive candidates. The design uses a restrained Slate and Sky palette with a warm, private-members-club feel that earns trust before asking for anything.

Quick summary
Nexus is a focused, single-column landing page template for tech executive search firms. It guides two distinct audiences, hiring companies and senior candidates, through a personalized assessment that ends in a concrete next step. Restrained typography, warm colors, and well-placed social proof do the heavy lifting before the call to action appears.
Who this template is for
This template is built for executive search firms that specialize in placing C-suite technology leaders. It speaks clearly to both sides of the placement equation without trying to be everything to everyone.
Recruiting firms placing Chief Technology Officers, Chief Product Officers, and Vice Presidents of Engineering at tech companies
Founders and board members who need to fill a senior leadership seat quickly and correctly
Senior technologists who are exploring whether they are ready to step into an executive role
What problem this template solves
Most executive recruiting pages treat every visitor the same. They lead with a generic contact form and offer no sense of whether the firm truly understands the role at hand. That mismatch costs trust immediately.
Companies struggle to communicate urgency without sounding desperate, and candidates struggle to self-qualify without a conversation
A single static page cannot serve a founder replacing a Chief Technology Officer and a senior engineer considering their first leadership move at the same time
Generic recruiting templates do not signal the contextual expertise that C-suite clients expect before they share sensitive hiring needs
What you get with this template
This template delivers a complete, single-page conversion flow designed for two distinct audiences. Every section has a clear job to do, and the layout keeps both visitor types moving toward a meaningful next step.
A cinematic hero section with dual call-to-action branching for companies and candidates
A five-question interactive assessment quiz with visual option cards, a timeline slider, and a personalized archetype result

Feature list
This template brings together several carefully designed components. Each one serves the trust-building and conversion goals of an executive search practice.
Dual-Path Hero Section
The hero opens with a split-tone cinematic layout and two clear calls to action. One path is for companies looking to hire; the other is for candidates exploring their next role. Visitors self-select immediately, which keeps the rest of the page relevant to them.
Slow-Scrolling Logo Bar
A horizontal marquee strip displays logos of companies where Nexus has placed executives. The scroll is deliberate and unhurried, like names on a departures board. A single line above reads "We've placed the leaders behind these logos," and a line below invites the visitor to find their own match.
Testimonial Mosaic with Data Points
Asymmetric staggered cards present named testimonial pairs, a hiring Chief Executive Officer alongside the executive they hired. Large, typographically bold data points such as "14-day average time to shortlist" and "93% retention at 24 months" appear between card clusters to braid emotion and evidence together as the visitor scrolls.
Five-Question Branching Assessment Quiz
The primary conversion tool is a conversational five-question quiz. Questions use visual option cards and a timeline slider rather than form fields. The quiz branches based on whether the visitor is a company or a candidate, and it ends with a personalized archetype result and a prompt to book a call via an embedded calendar.
Compensation Report Email Capture
A secondary conversion path offers visitors a downloadable quarterly report on executive compensation benchmarks. The capture is lightweight, positioned after the quiz close, and gives hesitant visitors a lower-commitment reason to stay connected.
GSAP ScrollTrigger Reveal Animations
Sections animate into view as the visitor scrolls, using staggered card reveals and marquee motion. The animation pace is medium and deliberate, matching the restrained, confident tone of the overall design rather than competing with it.

Design & branding system
The visual identity follows a Community Hearth theme built on the Slate and Sky color system. The overall effect is warm and breathable, like a clear morning seen through the window of a private members club. Nothing competes for attention; every element earns its place.
Colors: deep charcoal slate (#2D3436) for primary text, warm mid-gray (#636E72) for secondary copy, open sky blue (#74B9FF) for buttons and interactive highlights, and soft cloud white (#DFE6E9) for backgrounds with alternating faint slate wash sections
Typography: DM Sans for headings and interface text, Crimson Text for pull quotes and editorial moments, and JetBrains Mono for data points such as retention rates and shortlist timelines
Mobile & speed optimization
The template is built desktop-first to match how C-suite audiences typically browse, but full mobile support is included. The layout adapts cleanly across screen sizes without sacrificing the atmosphere of the design.
Static sections use server-rendered components to keep initial load light, while the interactive quiz runs as a client component to support branching logic and the calendar embed
Staggered card animations and the marquee strip are designed to perform smoothly without layout shift, preserving the restrained pacing that defines the page experience
How this template helps you convert
Every design and copy decision on this page is oriented toward one outcome: getting the right visitor to take a meaningful next step with confidence.
The dual-path hero and branching quiz immediately show each visitor that the firm understands their specific situation, which reduces friction and builds the trust needed for a senior-level conversation.
The testimonial mosaic places real named voices and hard retention data in the same scroll flow, so evidence accumulates naturally rather than being tucked into a separate section the visitor might skip.
The quiz result, a named archetype such as "You need a Wartime CTO" or "You're ready for a Chief Architect role," creates a personalized moment that makes the calendar booking prompt feel like a natural next step rather than a sales push.
