The brief

Bridge Search is an executive search firm in Financial Services and Technology, founded by Gary Charles and focused on the US market. Before this build, bridgesearch.io showed a Coming Soon page.

The page is checked from two sides: by the company choosing who runs its search, and by the candidate deciding whether to share a résumé. The brief asked for one strong landing page that looks modern, premium and established without the look of a traditional search firm, with the founder in view and a clear way in for each side.

What we built

We designed and built the Bridge Search landing page at bridgesearch.io, in the blue of the firm's logo with navy and cream. It opens on the firm's line, "Bridging the talent gap through community", beside Lower Manhattan and San Francisco inside the B.

Down the page, the five areas of expertise sit in a bento grid, each with its own line drawing. Two paths follow, one for companies hiring a leader and one for senior people exploring a move, then the founder and the questions people ask. Every Get in touch link opens one contact form that asks whether the visitor is hiring or a candidate, checks for spam with Cloudflare Turnstile and emails the message to the firm.

A second page introduces the founder, Gary Charles: his more than eighteen years in London and New York and six placements from his track record, with the clients kept confidential. The page text is managed in Sanity, and both pages carry structured data, with an llms.txt for AI assistants.

Like every project we ship, this one is AI SEO optimized: built to be found in Google and in the answers of AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude.

The result

The landing page went live on bridgesearch.io on 13 November 2026, on Cloudflare, with the firm's Microsoft 365 email records carried over unchanged. On PageSpeed mobile it scores 100 for performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO, and the main content is on screen in 1.0 second.

We are not quoting enquiry or placement numbers here. Those are Bridge Search's to share.

What this means for a business like yours

If you run a recruitment, search or advisory firm, clients and candidates look you up before they reply, and the founder is often who they are checking. A landing page like this is the smallest form of our website work: one fast page that says what you cover, a founder page that shows who runs the search, and one contact form that asks each visitor what they need. The first step is a free 15-minute call about who you place and how they find you today.
