DeepMatch

DeepMatch is a headhunting firm founded in September 2018 by Sean Fitzgerald, a recruiter with over 13 years of experience starting his career in 1999 during the dot-com bubble. Rather than relying on job advertising to attract active candidates, DeepMatch invests significant time and resources engaging passive candidates and assesses fit across a dozen or more dimensions before making introductions, inspired by methods used in online dating applications and Olympic team selection.

The company specialises in technology sectors including artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, blockchain, and IoT. DeepMatch provides end-to-end recruiting services including candidate sourcing, placement, and consulting on hiring process optimisation and candidate experience improvements. They work with mid to senior level individual contributors, managers, directors, vice presidents and C-Suite executives seeking new opportunities.

DeepMatch operates on core values including do unto others, integrity and reliability, transparency and communication, deep listening, continuous learning, drive, and diversity and inclusion. The founder emphasises that deep matching results in higher employee engagement and greater growth for hiring companies, viewing recruitment not simply as filling jobs but as building companies.
