It is fact that everything we do at Muse Search + Inspire has a purpose and a passion intertwined, including our tried and true 5x5 search process. Of course, the '5x5' represents the 5% we give to charity on every placement and assignment we fill. We have learned over many years in this industry placing amazing talent at equally outstanding organizations that you can never ignore the details, especially when your product is people - the most unpredictable treasure on earth.  Our 5x5 search process is the brainchild of our journey and yes, we have learned from our mistakes and those of our predecessors that often make a delicate but simple task daunting.

We understand trust is earned, transparency paramount and humor relevant but necessary.
