About the show

Schedules are busy, so what better way to get to know the InX team and the sectors they operate in than in digestible 10-minute podcasts? InX may be an executive search company, but we pride ourselves in not being ‘stuffy’ or ‘traditional’. There are pre-conceived ideas about recruiters and search companies, so we wanted to shine a light on who the team are, what they do, why they are different… and even discover crucial information about them, like would they rather climb a mountain or sky dive! With the InX team alternating between interviewer and interviewee, each podcast will be completely different, bringing together market-leading experts in technology, digital, manufacturing, property, private equity and strategy. We’ll also have special guests take the hotseat from our c-suite community to share their valuable insights too. Reach out to the team at hello@weareinx.com and learn more about us at www.weareinx.com Sit back and enjoy the podcasts.
