<\/a><\/a>\nThe Forbes <\/i>list is based on independent surveys of more than 18,000 recommendations from over 13,000 participants (recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates) evaluating firms on quality of placements, client service, and industry reputation.<\/p>
\nJM Search attributes the recognition to deliberate, sustained investment in its team and model \u2013 adding specialized Partners and Principals, expanding into new markets, and maintaining a structure where senior professionals lead every search.<\/p>
\n\u201cThis is a result of decades of intentional decisions about how we\u2019ve built our firm,\u201d said John Marshall, Chief Executive Officer. \u201cAs we grow, we\u2019ve been highly selective in bringing in leaders who combine deep expertise with an ownership mindset and a strong sense of accountability to outcomes.\u201d<\/p>
\nOver the past 24 months, JM Search has placed over 1,400 executives across its core markets. In 2025, the firm added 45 Partners and Principals, continuing to scale without compromising its expert-led model.<\/p>
\n\u201cOur clients are making critical leadership decisions that define the future of their businesses and investments,\u201d Marshall added. \u201cThey need a partner who understands their world, moves with urgency, and remains fully engaged throughout the search process. That\u2019s the standard we hold ourselves to, and what this recognition reinforces.\u201d<\/p>
\nThe Forbes ranking adds to a series of recent accolades for JM Search and its leadership. The firm ranked No. 11 on Hunt Scanlon Media's 2026 Top 50 Recruiters list<\/a> and appeared on both the Inc. 5000 and Financial Times Americas' Fastest Growing Companies lists<\/a> in 2025.
