Do you specialize in PE and VC-backed companies?+

What roles do you typically fill?+
Our focus is go-to-market leadership: CRO, VP Sales, VP Marketing, VP Customer Success, Head of Sales Development, and individual contributors (AEs, SDRs, SEs, CSMs). We also work on PE/VC partnership programs that go beyond individual placements.
What makes M Search different from a generalist recruiter?+
Sector depth. We work exclusively in B2B software GTM, we know the market, the profiles, and the nuances of what works at different company stages. We don't send volume; we send vetted, matched candidates who understand your buyer and your sales motion. Our average time to first submittal is 10.25 days.
Can you help with cross-border US expansion hiring?+
Yes, this is a core specialization. We've placed US GTM leaders for companies expanding from the UK, France, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, and more. We understand the structural challenges: compensation calibration, cultural dynamics, ICP translation, and how to find leaders who've actually built in the US market.
