Ascent Group named OnRec Awards finalists!
We’re proud to share that TechNET CxO, as part of the Ascent Group, has been recognised for excellence in recruitment. The group has been shortlisted for two prestigious categories at the 2025 OnRec Awards:
- Best Innovation in Recruitment
- Best Use of Responsible AI
These nominations reflect the group-wide focus on innovation, integrity and forward-thinking recruitment – values that are central to how we support our clients in sourcing top-tier executive talent.
Innovation with purpose
At TechNET CxO, innovation means more than staying ahead of trends. It’s about delivering real strategic value to businesses seeking senior leadership. From refining our executive sourcing methodology to leveraging advanced market intelligence tools, we’re always evolving to meet the demands of today’s complex tech landscape.
Being recognised in the ‘Best Innovation in Recruitment’ category highlights the impact of this approach. We’ve helped clients build future-ready C-suites with leaders who can guide organisations through growth, transformation and disruption.
Responsible AI in executive search
AI is reshaping recruitment, but at TechNET CxO and across the Ascent Group, we believe it must be used responsibly. We apply AI to enhance our processes, not replace the human expertise that defines great executive search.
This commitment has earned the group a nomination for ‘Best Use of Responsible AI’. From reducing unconscious bias in shortlisting to using data insights to improve diversity in leadership hiring, we take care to apply AI with structure, transparency and fairness.
What this means for our partners
Award recognition is not just about accolades – it’s a marker of trust. These nominations show that when you partner with TechNET CxO, you’re working with a team that delivers executive search with depth, rigour and a clear sense of responsibility.
We understand the stakes involved in hiring senior leaders. That’s why our approach blends the latest tools with high-touch consultancy, ensuring every placement is a long-term fit, not a short-term fix.
Looking ahead
The winners will be revealed this September, and while we’re hopeful, we’re also proud. Proud of what’s been achieved, and excited about what’s still to come. We’ll continue to support our clients with the same drive, insight and integrity that earned this recognition in the first place. Thank you to our clients, candidates, and partners…wish us luck!
