MMD Services Inc. is a recognized Woman-Owned Technical Recruitment Company nearing our 20th year! MMD Services is renowned for its expertise in delivering top-notch staffing solutions to both sizable and medium-sized enterprises.

Our services include traditional Contract, Contract-to-Hire, and Direct Placement options for a wide range of roles within the Technical and Finance domains. Everyone at MMD is a decision-maker, revenue driver, and a respected contributor.

We are not a standard recruitment agency because we allow for role ownership, offer base+commission+bonus potential, we don’t push full-desk recruiting (we have more than enough closable roles), we don’t push VMS openings, and we have long-standing relationships with most hiring managers we partner with.

Our clients vary from Fortune 500 companies to the newest Chicago start-ups. MMD’s business model is focused on developing and cultivating long-term relationships.

While we value all technical recruiting experience, an ideal candidate will have experience working in an agency recruitment setting with sharp attention to detail and high candidate screening quality standards.
