We empower TA executives to connect with each other and incredible products within the TA ecosystem, free from pitches, globally. Our Heads of TA cross-pollinate ideas and foster collaboration between global leaders in talent acquisition.
Why ExecTASocial launched?
ExecTASocial was founded in Jan ‘24 by internal TA executives & the SpacePerson, Nova. We felt the need to create our own TA Executive community after not finding one that spoke to us i.e no true global community for the most senior TA Executives. Other events (although all wonderful in their own right) were not communities for a Head of TA, over 50% partner led, owned or silently affiliated to (plus we're pretty sure both members and partners dreaded the pitch!). We were craving a closed-door community of trusted members to extract real, actionable, TA strategic learnings and insights in a structured format. We wanted to step away from PR machines and connect directly to other TA Executives on trusted product & service recommendations. Integrity for our members and with our partners, was top of the list for ExecTASocial and everything we have launched is built on a foundation of trust.
Where is ExecTASocial?
Today, we are across EMEA and APAC (watch out US) growing organically into an exclusive community focused on TA Leaders reclaiming TA. This growth is supported by the best TA ecosystem partners and we never invite more than two partners to any event. Our partners willing don't sell to ExecTASocial and support being thought-leaders of TA.
What's Exclusive?
We welcome TA Executives, those who are owners of TA strategy, budget and accountability. We will always recommend other communities and networks for aspiring leaders, HR & People folk who are not in TA or Recruiting team members (recruiters, sourcers TA marketers etc).
Why the Space Person, Nova?
Free from identity, Nova, represents all of our members at ExecTASocial. We are 100% inclusive of all identities. You could say we are Exclusively, Inclusive! With the ability to travel the world in seconds connecting Heads of TA from LA to Sydney. Nova, moves fast, scales faster and flies solo with their incredible crew (TA team).
We’re run by a very small but mighty team of Talent Acquisition heavyweights and interstellar creative team on a mission to make talent acquisition better for everyone.

Fractional Social Marketing Lead
As a recent graduate finding my footing in the corporate world, I support the crew at ExecTA Social with all their admin needs, helping things run just a touch more smoothly. Beyond assisting the team, you’ll often find me lost in a history book or baking up a storm in the kitchen. While I’m more likely to be whipping up a banana bread than conquering an empire, it’s always satisfying to imagine I’m on a grand historical adventure now and then.

Hi everyone! I’m Pete and I’m currently the Talent Acquisition Enablement Manager at Ocado Group. My career has been a journey through the evolving world of recruitment—moving from the fast-paced agency side into in-house roles at places like The Very Group and now Ocado.
I’ve always been fascinated by how we can use technology and smart processes to make hiring better for everyone, which led me into TA Product Management and Enablement.
