McAleer Gray

McAleer Gray is a national boutique executive search firm based in Denver, Colorado that specializes in recruiting Board Directors, C-level executives, and their direct reports. As headhunters, they focus on identifying passive candidates who are successful and busy, rather than settling for those who are simply available.

McAleer Gray operates under a "new old model" philosophy where senior partners and founders personally conduct all engagements, rather than delegating to junior associates. This approach ensures clients receive extremely personal attention and access to top-tier passive candidates who don't necessarily want to be found. The firm has offices in Denver, New York, and South Florida, maintaining a national scope while preserving boutique-level service.

The company offers three distinct service lines to meet varying client needs. Their flagship McAleer Gray Executive Search focuses on confidential high-level engagements including Board Directors and C-level positions. MG-HR Consulting & Recruiting Services provides strategic human capital solutions designed specifically for Board and C-Suite requirements. Their MG2 Mid-Management Recruiting Services specializes in purpose-built, client-customized recruiting projects for mid-level roles, managers, and directors.

What sets McAleer Gray apart is their performance-based fee structure and proven track record, with 90% of clients engaging them for repeat assignments. Their expertise lies in their proven ability to identify, access, and engage passive candidates - those successful executives who aren't actively job searching but represent the best talent in the market. The firm's approach is built on the principle of "putting their necks on the line" to deliver not just top candidates, but a variety of top candidates to ensure the best fit.

McAleer Gray's senior partners and C-suite veterans bring extensive experience to every engagement, ensuring clients receive the high-level attention and expertise that larger firms often can't provide due to their scale and delegation models.
