The Company:

Matchstick is a different kind of recruiting firm. We partner with businesses to source quality candidates and look beyond mere placement to serve as a consultant, advisor, and ally in the process. With a business model that prioritizes best-fit candidates, we assess based on competency, character, and cultural fit in alignment with our client companies. Employee turnover causes costly disruption in a business; with our thorough vetting and client-centric focus, we find candidates who have longevity and a desire to invest in and build their careers for the long-term. 

Beyond recruiting, we work with businesses to assess where they are, where they are going, and what stands in the way of achieving their vision.
