Altvia needed to scale fast after a meaningful capital injection. Their team needed executive leaders and mid-level operators across GTM, sales, delivery, and HR — not one hire, but ten. M Search delivered an average time-to-intro of 15 days and a 75.1% submittal-to-interview rate across the engagement.
“Our experience with M Search has been nothing short of spectacular. They've been able to consistently deliver the highest caliber of candidates to us quickly. I would recommend reaching out to them for leadership searches, or for building out your team.”

Baseten needed Forward Deployed Engineers who combined elite software engineering with customer-facing communication. Over 6,000 candidates were sourced and filtered through three stacked filters to find the 0.13% who could operate at the intersection of production AI infrastructure and enterprise relationships.
“We've worked with M Search on multiple searches, and what's consistent every time is how precisely they calibrate to our bar. They don't just understand the technical requirements — they understand the commercial instincts and domain context that determine whether someone will actually succeed in the role.”

Berenson Capital engaged M Search for a non-traditional search: sourcing a Chairman-level executive to support deal origination and portfolio operations across their fund. Over 16 weeks, M Search ran a systematic identification, NDA, and qualification process, surfacing candidates from outside traditional search channels and delivering one final placement through a rigorous screening funnel.
“Our relationship with M Search has given us access to key executives in our target market that have supported our firm's process for deal review, and portfolio company operations. I'd highly recommend considering their practice for executive-level searches.”
