About

Mission and Values

Our purpose is to create dynamic teams for organizations and find fulfilling careers for our talent so that our communities may flourish together.

For the past 12 years M3 Placement and Partnership has been focused on serving clients and candidates throughout the country. When our founder, Mary Malone McCarthy, began M3 she did so with the conviction that when employees are fulfilled and cared for, they are better able to care for their families and their communities. With this philosophy she created M3 to be a trusted support system for companies of all sizes searching for a partner in talent acquisition and executive searches.

We believe that businesses have the power to elevate our world and all of those in it by working to fulfill a purpose beyond profit. We believe in the power of people to make the world a better place through their work. Our purpose fuels each member of the team to wake up each day and care for our partners and their teams.

M3 is proud to be recognized as a Certified Woman-Owned business in the state of New York. Based in the Capital Region, we offer three distinct services:

  • Executive Search: Helping you find C-Suite and executive team members to help guide your organization
  • Direct placement: Proactive searches for key positions in your organization using our network and innovative recruitment resources
  • Outsourced recruiting (RPO): Partnering with your hiring team to optimize job posting visibility, screen candidates, schedule interviews, and manage the entire candidate hiring process for you.

How we serve our clients and candidates

Our holistic approach to learning about companies and candidates from the inside out ensures that we are able to create effective and long-term connections to support your goals and visions for the future. We believe that every time a candidate and a company match, and their culture, values, and goals align, a life has been changed and a team has been made stronger.

Our business is founded on 4 core beliefs of customer services:

  • We believe that great communication builds the powerful connections and trusting relationships we need to find an exceptional fit for our clients and candidates.
  • We care deeply about the story and vision of each client and candidate; which is why we never settle until we’ve found the perfect fit.
  • Our team is committed to delivering the best recruiting experience possible, exceeding expectations and focusing on delivering quality over quantity.
  • At M3 we don’t believe there is a “one size fits all” approach to recruiting; we tailor each solution to our client’s needs.

Better Talent > Better Impact


M3, we are on a mission to find better talent for the organizations we work with. We believe when superior talent is placed in key leadership roles, change is created to impact organizations and lives for the better, and that creates a better world.

Our business is rooted in Conscious Capitalism
