Small and midsize businesses need great people — but traditional recruiting models weren’t built for them.
Metcalf Search is here to change that. We’ve reimagined recruiting as a true partnership: continuous, ethical, and focused on results. Instead of one-off placements and high fees, we deliver experienced, U.S.-based recruiting support through a predictable monthly model that scales with your business.
Why We Exist
Meet the Team
Our leadership team brings decades of recruiting and business experience — but what defines us isn’t tenure, it’s approach. We combine personal accountability with a long-term partnership mindset to deliver results that last beyond the hire.
Our team believes in the 3R approach – Respect, Relationships, Results. We are a people-first fractional recruiting firm committed to the highest ethical and professional standards for our clients, candidates and the recruiting industry as a whole. We believe that recruiting improves bottom lines and transforms lives, and we’re the partner that can make that happen.
Our Approach: Together, we’ve built Metcalf Search to deliver big-firm capability with small-firm focus — recruiting that feels personal, not mechanical. Every client has a consistent, single point of contact supported by our research and delivery team.
