Why did Matthew launch MJL International? "Establishing MJL International stemmed from my vision to create a boutique executive search firm with a difference. Having worked in this sector for a long time, I've observed prolonged search processes, a lack of diversity in senior appointments, and clients investing significant upfront costs without success. I believe that a new approach is needed. At MJL International, we streamline the search process by eliminating unnecessary complexities, focusing on swift delivery. Our methodology actively promotes diversity, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to challenge outdated network-centric approaches. Ultimately, I want to provide my Clients with an efficient and effective strategy to hire the best leadership talent. They should feel in control and benefit from a service that is fit for purpose".
