Our Story

After the first meeting between Exparang's founders outside the Palace of Culture in Warsaw.

In 2018, sparked by a shared vision of a transforming board and executive recruitment market and the business opportunity to innovate executive search and career management with smart mutual matching technology, Exparang was founded by a team combining deep expertise in executive search and software development.

Exparang's mission is simple — To open doors to fulfilling careers and thriving businesses with board and executive talent matching.

We are guided by our strong belief that the candidate's perspective is key to successful hires and appointments. By tapping into the power of candidate motivation our mutual matching helps people find meaningful professional challenges that unlock performance, prosperity and wellbeing.

Today Exparang is a digital marketplace for matching board, executive and interim roles with top-tier leaders, professionals and experts in an efficient, secure, and respectful environment. Our board and executive marketplace combines the powerful software of Exparang's interactive matching platform with a range of advisory services via our strategic search partners — Aggancio, Head Agent, Safemind and von Feilitzen & Partners.

We create value for active owners, PE and VC firms, SMEs, large organisations, and modern executive search firms, who all use Exparang for flexible solutions to streamline key recruitments and connect with great candidates for board and business critical roles.

By balancing unique data on the candidates' interests with the specific needs of clients, Exparang offers a truly mutual matching solution. We are proud to have more than 12 000 anonymized members — leading executives and experts — who trust Exparang as their digital career agent, discreetly helping them connect with personalised opportunities over time.

Our Solution

Exparang's matching software cuts through the noise and creates value as an unbiased, secure and precise intermediary between professionals and the markets for their skills and potential.

We have built a SaaS platform that instantly and continuously matches anonymized candidates to career opportunities based on strong mutual interest.

We level the playing field. We go beyond matching experience. Our aim is to capture the person behind the CV and factor in aspirations, preferences, competencies, dealbreakers, triggers, timing and values to deliver the highest quality matches from both a candidate and recruiter/hiring manager perspective.

The result is radically faster and more precise candidate and opportunity sourcing compared to the conventional methods of finding one another.

Why Anonymity?

Candidate anonymity benefits both candidates and recruiters by enabling safer, more open engagement.

Discussing career ambitions is sensitive, especially for employed individuals, but anonymity allows full transparency without risk of judgment or repercussions.

It also enables richer, more authentic profiles, as candidates can share confidential preferences that improve algorithmic matching.

Additionally, anonymity supports more unconventional career moves by connecting candidates with inclusive employers focused on potential over traditional backgrounds.

Finally, it reduces bias in recruitment, helping overlooked but highly qualified candidates be discovered.
