MAFÉ Resources

What MAFÉ Resources does

MAFÉ Resources is a privately held boutique recruiting firm headquartered at One West Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, Florida, founded and operated by three partners — Brett Morreale, Joseph Ferrio, and Michael Marrero — who together bring over three decades of combined staffing experience. The firm provides three staffing service lines: Contract/Project placements for defined-scope temporary work, Temp-to-Hire engagements that allow clients to evaluate candidates before permanent conversion, and Direct Hire permanent placements. Service delivery is concentrated in three functional divisions — Technology, Accounting, and Finance — and the firm explicitly targets the full size spectrum of U.S. employers, from early-stage startups through Fortune 500 corporations, with advertised reach across 26 major metropolitan markets nationwide.

The business operates as a relationship-driven professional services firm with no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed applicant tracking system, no integrations, no APIs, and no AI/ML tooling. Its competitive positioning rests on a concierge service model that emphasizes direct partner access to client HR and hiring managers, candidate pre-screening by senior practitioners, and supplementary career services for job seekers including resume building, interview preparation, and salary negotiation. Marketing is conducted primarily through a GoDaddy-hosted company website, a LinkedIn corporate page, and community/philanthropy engagement (notably the February 2022 title sponsorship of the Make-A-Wish "Burgers, Brews & Bourbon" event that funded 18 wishes for critically ill children). The company is privately capitalized with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; all strategic direction sits with the three named partners.

The revenue model is professional services fees tied to placement outcomes (contingency-based direct hire fees, temp-to-hire conversion fees, and contract markups on bill rates), with pricing kept confidential and quote-based per requisition. Revenue, headcount beyond the three partners, contract values, customer logos, and founding year are all undisclosed, limiting external verification of scale. Distribution is dual-channel: direct B2B sales to employer HR/hiring teams for the supply side, and a self-serve website resume submission portal for job-seeker sourcing, supported by a horizontal segmentation approach (small, mid-sized, and large corporations treated as co-equal primary segments) rather than a vertical specialization model.
