A Different Kind of Firm
Recruiting built the way it should have been
Traditional recruiting was designed to benefit the firm—not the client. Percentage-of-salary fees create misaligned incentives, opaque pricing, and a race to fill seats rather than find the right fit.
We rebuilt the model.
What We Do
"Executive search and recruiting, built around you."
Matchstick moves quickly—but we move with precision. From role scoping and success profiles to compensation benchmarking and interview design, we build a clear picture of your business, your culture, and what “great” looks like so that every candidate we present is worth your time.

Why Matchstick
The Difference Your Search Deserves
Thousands of recruiting firms exist. Few are built to be true partners.
Culture AND Competency
Skills get them in the door. Alignment keeps them there. We evaluate both—rigorously—so the hire lasts and the team strengthens.
Aligned Interests, Not Misaligned Fees
Traditional firms earn more when salaries are higher—not when hires succeed. We use flat, transparent pricing so our only incentive is finding you the right person.
Longevity Over Immediacy
Our process is as quick as it can be and as thorough as it needs to be. We optimize for long-term fit—not a fast placement that leaves you searching again in 18 months.
We Know Your Business
We don't start sourcing until we understand your organization deeply. Stakeholder sessions, culture intake, listening rounds—you get a partner, not a vendor.
No Noise, Only Finalists
You'll never wade through a stack of questionable résumés. We do the vetting so you can focus on choosing—not filtering.
Exceptional Value
We consistently deliver results equal to—and often better than—firms that charge significantly more. Our clients don't pay for overhead. They pay for outcomes.
