What Conexus does

Conexus DX is a Cardiff-headquartered specialist recruitment firm operating in the SAP and digital transformation talent market, founded in 2020 as a brand under the Recolution Group. The firm focuses exclusively on placing professionals across SAP ECC and S/4HANA transformations as well as adjacent enterprise technology domains including Data & Analytics, Software Engineering, Cyber Security, and Salesforce. It serves enterprise clients undergoing digital transformation programs, with primary verticals being Life Sciences, Consultancies (including Big 4), Discrete Manufacturing, and Retail & Consumer Goods, plus secondary exposure to Technology startups and Financial Services.

The company's service architecture comprises five core engagement models: permanent placement, contract staffing (deploying 1-100+ contractors globally with automated onboarding), retained search for business-critical roles, executive search, and two extension lines branded as Conexus Growth Partners (bespoke talent strategy consulting) and Conexus Consulting (commercial advisory for DX project delivery). The underlying operational technology combines a self-service candidate job portal with dedicated enterprise account teams and senior leadership (notably founder Connor Wall) directly managing strategic client relationships across five continents.

Commercially, Conexus operates as a private, UK-domiciled professional services business with 501-1000 employees, generating fee-based revenue from placements and contractor margins rather than disclosed subscription or platform pricing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with content marketing (blog, LinkedIn, SAP Sapphire conference participation) and direct client partnerships such as Third Bridge (exclusive Growth Partners mandate) and Glovo (100+ tech vacancies, Q1 2021). The firm was rebranded from Conexus to Conexus DX in June 2022 alongside a new 6,000 sq ft headquarters, and underwent a management buy-in at parent Recolution Group level in late 2024 with Connor Wall taking expanded responsibilities.
