In this deeply moving and inspiring episode of Founder Diaries, Nitin Sharma sits down with Dianne Flory Intal, Founder and President of Success Matcher, a global recruitment business based in Montana, USA.

Dianne shares her incredible journey of transforming personal tragedy into purpose. After losing both of her parents within the same year, she channelled her grief into creating a recruitment company built on empathy, integrity, and cultural understanding. Success Matcher was born from love — literally. As Dianne beautifully says, “Grief is love with nowhere to go.”

This episode explores:

• How profound loss became the foundation of Dianne’s entrepreneurial mission
• What makes Success Matcher stand out in a global, often transactional, recruitment market
• Why relationship-building and cultural intelligence are more valuable than ever in recruitment
• Cultural nuances in recruitment — how conversations differ between UK, US, Asian, and Middle Eastern clients
• Her business model’s dual focus: U.S. contingency recruitment and global manpower solutions from the Philippines
• Lessons learned about resilience, legacy, and redefining success beyond revenue

Nitin and Dianne also dive into an honest discussion about the recruitment industry’s “sales-first” mindset — and why treating recruitment as a professional service (not just a sales job) could reshape its future.

Who this episode is for:

• Recruitment founders seeking purpose-driven growth
• Entrepreneurs coping with grief or personal loss
• Professionals expanding globally and managing cultural differences
• Anyone curious about redefining success through empathy and connection
