Who We Are

Four Decades in the Markets We Know Best

Madison-Davis is a specialized recruiting and consulting firm with roots dating back to 1982. What began in equipment leasing and commercial finance has grown into a recruiting organization serving specialized markets across financial services, professional services, and technology.

Today, we help employers solve needs ranging from critical permanent hires to large-scale consulting projects, while connecting professionals with opportunities to put their experience to work. Our recruiters focus within distinct disciplines, combining deep market knowledge with the relationships and responsiveness Madison-Davis has built its reputation on.

Our Commitment

Diversity doesn't just happen. We help build it.

Financial services has historically lacked diversity, especially in leadership roles. We work with employers who want to change that—presenting a genuinely diverse slate of qualified candidates and partnering with hiring teams to widen what “qualified” looks like when the right pool doesn’t exist yet.

That means looking past the same background a company has always hired for and helping identify which qualifications truly matter for the role, versus which can be developed on the job.
