The Story Behind MJK
Matt started his recruiting career more than 15 years ago inside a large credit union, where he built lasting relationships and discovered a philosophy that felt like home. As those relationships grew, so did the opportunity to build MJK Connections, a credit union recruiting firm grounded in the values that shaped his career: putting people first, building trust and creating meaningful connections that last.

The MJK Difference
Proactive Communication

Credit unions have always been about people. So are we. It's what shapes every search, every conversation and every connection.

We go beyond the job description to understand your organization, leadership team and what success looks like for your team.
Lasting Partnerships
Strong partnerships don't end with a placement. We stay connected, providing guidance and support as your organization grows and hiring needs evolve.
Why Credit Unions Matter To Us
Credit unions have long believed that people come first. That philosophy has shaped the way MJK Connections approaches recruiting from the very beginning. Today, we partner with organizations that share those same values, building lasting relationships that strengthen teams andÂ
support long-term success.
We believe relationships are at the heart of every successful search.
We connect organizations and professionals who fit both the role & the culture.
