After serving in the U.S. Navy, Matt worked for large and mid-sized military career placement firms placing military personnel in organizations ranging from high-tech to nuclear/semi-conductor plants, gas industry, green energy, steel companies and additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing).

In 2011, Matt founded Connection Recruiting after seeing a need to offer a boutique-style recruitment firm that focuses on the needs and goals of both the job seeker and the employer. The goal of the company is to align the expectations of the job seeker and the employer, focus on job seeker/employer priorities, and determine if the job seeker and employer are a fit.  With this in mind, the mission of Connection Recruiting became a two prong approach: Job Seekers and Employers.

• Job Seekers – We understand your priorities are a critical part of the process. Knowing what is most important to you (job type, location, salary, etc.) enables us to focus our efforts with employers that meet your needs.
• Employers – We understand that quality over quantity of candidates is key. By working with the employer or hiring manager, understanding the in’s and out’s of the position, the company, and candidate requirements, allows us to present candidates that have already been vetted, ensure priorities align and are prepared for the interview process.

Connection Recruiting works with individuals transitioning out of the military and technical professionals seeking an opportunity in the industrial and high-tech industries with a Fortune 1000 company.
