Welcome to Experienced
Many UK professionals over 50 face a frustrating challenge: despite decades of leadership experience, crisis management skills and a proven track record of building high-performing teams, finding a role that truly values that expertise can feel impossible. Meanwhile, companies struggle to find experienced professionals who can step in and make an immediate impact. The problem isn’t the talent or the opportunities – it’s the systems meant to connect them.
That’s why Experienced exists. We help accomplished professionals over 50 find roles where your expertise is celebrated, and we connect UK businesses with senior talent your company needs to grow and thrive.
Why Finding the Right Role or Hire Feels Hard
If you’re a professional over 50, you know the frustration: tailoring CVs for automated systems, seeing opportunities go to less experienced candidates and questioning whether decades of proven expertise might now work against you.
If you’re an employer, you face similar challenges. You need experienced hires who can hit the ground running, provide mentorship and bring decision-making expertise honed over decades. Yet traditional recruitment often delivers hundreds of generic applications, long processes and filters that can’t evaluate real capability.
The lesson is clear: experience should be celebrated, not filtered out. That principle drives everything we do at Experienced.

Experienced is a new platform for professionals aged 50+, helping talented people find roles that genuinely value expertise. We focus on roles in HR, Finance, and more – positions where your decades of experience make a tangible difference from day one.
