Our Story
Depth over breadth.
Focus over scale.
In March 2026, Southfield Capital made a private equity investment in Metric at a $100M valuation, providing capital and strategic support for accelerated growth across North America and Europe. We maintain offices in seven cities: New York, Fort Lauderdale, Austin, and San Diego in the United States; London, Nottingham, and Leeds in the United Kingdom.
Our Model
01 · Focus
Specialist Focus
We recruit exclusively within three sectors where we maintain deep market knowledge and established networks. Our consultants specialise by function within their vertical - enabling us to understand technical requirements, market compensation, and organisational structures that generalist firms cannot replicate.
02 · Partnership
Retained Partnerships
We work primarily on retained mandates, engaging with clients across multiple searches over extended periods. This model aligns our incentives with long-term placement quality rather than transactional volume, and allows us to invest appropriate time in market mapping, candidate assessment, and post-placement support.
03 · Coverage
Geographic Coverage
Our dual presence in North America and Europe enables us to serve multinational organisations and support cross-border expansion. We recruit across all major markets within our sectors — from established hubs to emerging geographies where our clients are building operations.
Market Position
Metric serves private equity-backed portfolio companies, publicly traded corporations, and high-growth enterprises requiring senior leadership in specialist sectors. Our client base includes:
- Private equity firms building portcos in life sciences, infrastructure, and data centres
- Fortune 500 companies expanding operations in our verticals
- Growth-stage companies scaling executive teams
- Global developers and operators in mission-critical infrastructure
