About Us

Morgan Samuels Company is team of diverse leaders from multiple disciplines on a mission to place the best and brightest in industry-leading roles. We’re re-defining how our industry approaches executive search. Rather than simply filling roles, our team pinpoints a client’s specific needs and leverages our vast network to scour the entire talent market. Using our proprietary assessment tools, we deliver candidates who are both a great business and cultural fit for the organization. Our uniquely comprehensive process allows us to solve business problems other recruiting firms won’t or can’t—and in doing so, not only reduces risk but also delivers better, faster results.

We were founded in 1969, with a single idea in mind: to help people and organizations achieve their greatest potential. And this vision has become today’s reality. Today, Morgan Samuels offers a broad spectrum of results-driven solutions that leverages human capital, transforms businesses, and revolutionizes executive search. We deliver strategy, experience, expertise, and service to every client engagement and have been repeatedly recognized by Forbes, Hunt Scanlon, and multiple Business Journals as one of the top executive search firms in the nation.
