Why the private pool matters here

Executive search is the most privacy-sensitive hiring category. Companies that broadcast a CEO or CFO vacancy signal instability to markets, competitors, and employees. Executives exploring new opportunities cannot be visible to their current employer. M3X enforces confidentiality at both ends of the match.
