Client feedback
What it's like to work with us.
“We've had a great experience working with missing-link.io over the years. They've helped us build a strong and diverse team that has contributed significantly to our success.”
Fabian Gompf

“When we partnered with missing-link.io to fill our critical Principal Engineering role, their team demonstrated exceptional diligence and responsiveness. Michael and his colleagues consistently updated us on the most relevant candidate information, ensuring we could secure our top choice. I highly recommend missing-link.io's services for sourcing niche talent. Their expertise and pipeline were instrumental in helping us find the perfect fit for our organization.”

How we work with you
Three ways to partner with us.
The right fit depends on your stage. Not sure which? Book a call.
Board · C-Level · VPs · Heads · Management
Executive Search
Retained executive search for AI, deep tech, and developer tooling companies. We map the market before the first approach and reach leaders who aren't job hunting while assessing against the problem you're solving, not the title on the job spec.
Tech · Product · GTM · Senior ICs
IC Search
The Staff Engineer, the Founding Account Executive, the one specialist your roadmap depends on. We place senior individual contributors in AI, deep tech, and developer tooling. Hires too important to depend solely on a job ad and too specific for a generalist agency.
High-volume · Multi-role · Ongoing hiring
Embedded
An in-house recruiter without the in-house commitment. We sit inside your team, run your pipeline as our own, and scale up or down as hiring need changes.
The team
Search led by a Senior team.
