About Us

We built Monocle to be the search firm that we would use if we needed a search partner.

At inception, we took a blank canvas approach and focused our lens on a singular question: “How could we do this better than everyone else?” After belaboring the question to the point of nausea, we found that the answer came to life within a few core principles:

• Be refreshingly easy to work with
• Impress by delivering exceptional results
• Be straightforward and honest in everything we do
• Operate as an extension of our customers. We are invested deep enough to feel your pains, but also take ownership in finding and celebrating your solutions.

We live these values daily and know that you will see them in action when we work together.
