Numinous

Numinous helps CIOs and senior technology executives at ASX-listed and enterprise organisations build their entire technology leadership teams - not just fill individual roles. In the past 18 months, we've placed nine senior leaders for one CIO at EBOS Group, including Chief Information Security Officer, GM Strategy & Architecture, GM Digital & Enterprise Applications, and six other critical roles across AI, governance, platforms, and engagement. Before that, seven senior placements at Transurban across service operations, architecture, and data analytics. What makes us different: We come from IT, not recruitment. Our founder spent over a decade in business development at a systems integrator, which meant constant exposure to CIOs making complex technology decisions. That pattern recognition - watching which IT leaders could execute and which couldn't, which teams were aligned and which were fragmented - shapes everything we do. We understand what a data platform build actually involves. We know the difference between someone who's led architecture strategy versus someone who's just been in architecture roles. We can assess whether a leader can genuinely deliver in your environment. For clients: Working with someone who can interpret briefs at a strategic level, hold credible conversations with senior candidates, and assess capability beyond CVs. For candidates: Talking to someone who genuinely understands what you do - real conversations about delivery, impact, and what you want next. We focus on depth over volume. All searches are retained and personally led from brief to offer. We typically manage 12-15 executive placements per year across data, digital, security, enterprise applications, platforms, AI, and technology strategy. If you're a CIO building your leadership team or a technology leader exploring what's next, let's talk.
