Meet the founder
I'm Matteo. When you work with MVRK, you work directly with me, from our first conversation about the role to the person you hire.
I've spent 10+ years in executive search, working with businesses that are growing, changing, or both. Before MVRK, I worked at Frazer Jones, Gartner, and Winning Acuity across commercial and talent roles. My full background is on LinkedIn .
Today, MVRK (mvrk.xyz) is my independent HR executive search practice. It isn't connected with other companies that use the MVRK name. Most of my searches are for mid-to-senior HR roles that are new to the business. I help clients work out what they need and introduce them to HR professionals whose experience fits.
Before the search
We'll talk about what prompted the hire, what the person will own, and what support they'll have. If parts of the brief are unclear or unrealistic, we'll work through them together.
You work directly with meBeyond familiar titles
I look for people who have handled similar challenges, including those in other sectors or who aren't actively looking. I'll explain why each candidate is worth meeting and where you may need to compromise.
Recommendations with a clear reason behind themThrough the final decision
I stay involved through interviews, references, and the offer. Before the person joins, we talk through expectations for the role so everyone starts with the same understanding.

“As the first Chief People Officer of Arcese Group, I was tasked with centralizing HR, rolling out Workday and related systems, and injecting perspective from outside logistics. I partnered with Matteo (now MVRK) to build both the leadership layer and the operating engine. He delivered four cornerstone hires: a Global Head of Talent, a Global Head of Rewards, a Senior HRBP for our Rovereto logistics hub, and a Corporate HR Manager for our global HQ in Basiano. We then scaled capability with a Senior Recruiter (later promoted to Recruitment Manager with a small team), plus Employer Branding and L&D Specialists reporting into her. These hires accelerated the shift from a fragmented, site-led HR structure to a centralized function able to deliver at global scale. After I left Arcese, the Senior HRBP became my successor as Global HR Director, and in mid-2025 MVRK supported our International HR Manager in hiring a Head of HR for the UK. I also rehired the Corporate HR Manager when I joined Cerved; a direct endorsement of the quality Matteo delivered. Matteo challenged my brief, pushed for the right trade-offs, and delivered outcomes that reshaped HR at Arcese and lasted well beyond my tenure.”
“Matteo was able to deliver not only great candidates but also helpful insights on market and organizational approach. He understood our culture and project and delivered a great candidate experience as well as top candidate quality.”
“Matteo perfectly understood our needs and helped us find the best candidate in record time. If you're looking for tailor-made service, market knowledge, and a true partner Matteo is the one to go to!”
“Matteo Muscio did an excellent job recruiting two key HR professionals who fit our culture perfectly. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with.”
“Matteo immediately grasps client needs and moves with speed and quality. What truly sets him apart is his ability to engage people with honesty and clarity.”
“From our first conversation, Matteo demonstrated genuine interest in understanding my career goals. Throughout the process, he provided valuable guidance, and I was able to land a great new role in just over a month. I highly recommend his services.”
