The Mullings Group

What The Mullings Group does

The Mullings Group (TMG) is a privately held executive search firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida, specializing exclusively in the medtech and healthtech sectors. The firm's core offering is retained executive search, placing individual contributors through C-suite and board members for medical technology companies ranging from early-stage startups to large established strategics. TMG differentiates on vertical depth — 30+ years of focused medtech recruiting, 9,000+ cumulative placements across 900+ companies, and an embedded presence in the industry via founding or partner relationships with AdvaMed, MassMEDIC, MDIC, the U.S./Israel Medtech Delegation, and recurring participation at LSI, DeviceTalks, and ICI events. Operations are run by a team of approximately 40 people executing 400+ searches annually, with an average 60-day search completion time.

The revenue model blends three professional services streams: retained executive search (the core), the Dragonfly media/production subsidiary for thought leadership, hiring brand, and storytelling deliverables, and a portfolio of advisory services covering organizational development, M&A integration planning, succession planning, and a Strategic Initiative Service for large-scale hiring projects (3-300+ hires). Pricing is not publicly disclosed but follows standard retained search economics, with bespoke engagement structures based on role complexity. TMG has invested in proprietary AI-assisted tooling — Position Briefs, Client Dashboards, and Team Docs — deployed across market mapping, candidate processing, and deliverable generation to support consultants and improve consistency. Geographic footprint includes the US headquarters, additional US offices, a UK presence, and a formalized Israel operation led by Ido Hadari since December 2025; over 30% of search work is conducted outside the United States. The firm completed one acquisition (M.J. Moore & Associates in November 2023) and formed the HSMG Advisors joint venture in September 2025.
