What MRI Network Global Search does

MRI Network Global Search (legal entity SCR Consulting Co. S.A. de C.V.) is a Mexico City-based executive search and professional recruitment firm operating as a member of the MRINetwork franchise system since 2003. The firm serves multinational corporations with significant Latin American and Hispanic US presence, delivering permanent placement (retained, contingency, project, and global search), large-scale recruitment, consulting services, contract staffing, and ancillary services including candidate assessment, reference checking, virtual recruitment, relocation assistance, salary surveys, and an Online Activity Management System. Its proprietary methodology, Accelerated Recruitment™, structures engagements across Planning, Candidate Contact, Candidate Presentation, and Decision/Offer phases, with the stated goal of placing "Impact Players" — the top 20% of candidates said to generate over 80% of client results.

The company is led by Carlos A. Rivera (CEO of both MRI Network Global Search and MRI Network Latin America, IMD MBA) alongside four named search consultants and project staff. Service delivery is enabled by MRINetwork's global infrastructure — 400+ offices across 30+ countries and 2,500+ recruiters — which the firm channels into Latin American engagements spanning Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. A multi-language website (English, Spanish, Portuguese, German) and active presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter support marketing.

The business model is professional services: placement fees are paid by the employer (not the candidate), and the firm offers retained, contingency, and project-based fee structures. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm emphasizes seven verticals — Manufacturing, Oil/Gas/Mining, Healthcare, Financial Services, Technology, Consumer Goods/Retail, and Professional Services — and has been recognized by Forbes (Top 10 US executive search firms, 2018), Entrepreneur Magazine (#1 in its category), and Fortune (Best Careers of the Future). Brand recognition and franchise network reach are the primary assets; the local legal entity remains small (1–10 employees) and revenue is not disclosed.
