After more than 25 years in the industry, Mike Meyer had seen it all—the same talent challenges, the same recruitment frustrations, the same broken processes. It was enough to make him walk away for good. But a chance conversation with executive search specialists Portman Partners changed everything.

Instead of leaving the industry behind, Mike took on the challenge of managing—and eventually acquiring—Portman. That experience gave him unparalleled insight into the data center industry’s hiring struggles. Portman excelled at securing top executive talent, but clients kept coming to them with the same question:

"Can you help us find the rest of the critical talent we urgently need—quickly, efficiently, and without the outdated, time-consuming recruitment headaches that slow everything down?"

That’s why Flint was born.

The recruitment industry is broken—slow processes, recruiters who don’t understand data centers, and a flood of candidates who just don’t fit. We knew there had to be a better way.

With Flint, we took everything that made Portman successful—our deep industry expertise, global network, and no-nonsense approach—and built something faster, more agile, and truly aligned with what data center businesses need.

We’re not just another recruitment firm. We’re the solution our clients asked for.

Let’s fix this together.
