We launched Marlin; the executive search firm we wished existed

Executives. We know them. We’ve spent a decade inside their heads, dissecting their ambitions, frustrations, and what drives them. 

We’ve spent years working side-by-side with leaders over months, shaping their professional narratives. 

We’ve heard their unfiltered frustrations about bad hires. 

We’ve seen how companies struggle to find the right person, not just a qualified candidate, but someone who fits the unique business and drives it forward.

And that’s why we launched Marlin.

Sure, we know talent. But that’s only half the equation.

We also know that hiring is mainly about solving a business problem. You’re not just looking for a Chief Marketing Officer, you’re looking for someone who can navigate the chaos of a shifting market, who can align your brand with future trends, who can rally a team and drive growth.

Our process starts with understanding your business challenges. We pair our deep executive knowledge with your company’s unique needs to make hires that fuel transformation.

We know exactly what’s broken in the world of executive search. For ten years, we’ve listened to executives and companies alike vent about the same issues:

• Recruiters who don’t really understand leadership.

• ‘Top candidates’ who look great on paper but crumble in reality.

• The eternal struggle of finding the right executive, not just an available one.

Marlin is built differently. We bring a branding lens to executive search. We dig deeper, think smarter, and match talent that makes sense beyond paper. 

If you are looking for a partner who understands leadership inside and out, who gets what actually makes an executive work in your business, and who can transform your hiring process into a strategic advantage...you’re in the right place.

Welcome to Marlin. 🎣
