Tech Startup Leadership Accelerated
Client Challenge
A New York-based EdTech startup was experiencing rapid growth and needed to scale its engineering team without overburdening its already stretched CTO. With limited internal bandwidth, the company sought external support to identify and hire a Software Development Manager—someone who could provide full-stack technical leadership and help streamline the team’s delivery. The CTO and VP of Operations were seeking a trusted partner who could move quickly and align top-tier talent with their culture, pace, and long-term vision.
Our Solution
We partnered closely with the CTO and VP of Operations to define the exact technical and leadership requirements of the role, including full stack expertise and team-building skills. After a targeted search and streamlined interview coordination, the company reached a point where they had two standout finalists—and couldn’t choose just one. Recognizing the value of both, they decided to hire both candidates: one as the originally intended Software Development Manager, and the second as a Data Engineering Manager, a role they had planned to hire for later in the year. To support this unexpected but strategic decision, we offered a significant discount on the second hire, allowing the company to stay ahead of its hiring roadmap while managing cost expectations.
The Result
Hired 2 high-impact engineering leaders from a single search in less than a month
Reduced load on CTO by delegating key technical oversight
Accelerated data engineering roadmap ahead of schedule
Maintained hiring budget with a custom fee structure
What Was Achieved
Strengthened full stack engineering leadership
Gained data engineering expertise months ahead of plan
Hired efficiently without sacrificing candidate quality
Saved time and resources by consolidating the hiring process
From Hiring Gaps to a Complete Team
Client Challenge
A global, publicly traded manufacturing company spent three months using four local recruiting firms to hire a Senior Cost Analyst—interviewing 63 candidates with no success. The person they eventually hired quickly underperformed, and the company was reluctant to repeat the drawn-out, costly process.
Our Solution
Mission Solutions met with the Site Controller to fully understand the company’s needs—skills, personality, culture, and strategy. We launched a confidential, exclusive search with a clear timeline and pre-set interviews. Within two weeks, five candidates were vetted and interviewed in a single day at an off-site location to preserve confidentiality.
The Result
All five candidates were strong fits
One was hired immediately; a second role was created based on candidate quality
The hiring manager was so impressed he expanded the team
What Was Achieved
Streamlined search and hire in just 3 weeks
Saved hundreds of hours in screening
Strengthened the client’s national workforce
Since then: 88+ direct hires placed in key leadership roles across the U.S.
Helped support over $2B in annual revenue
Strategic CFO Replacement
Client Challenge
A national manufacturing company faced two failed CFO placements—both hired through another firm and gone within 90 days. Leadership was frustrated, and confidence in the hiring process was at an all-time low.
Our Solution
Mission Solutions was brought in by referral. We met directly with the CEO to understand the company’s strategic vision and culture. Together, we designed a tailored timeline with formal interviews and informal dinners to ensure real conversations and alignment.
The Result
A strategic CFO was hired within 3 weeks
Began the role within 5 weeks of initial conversation
The new CFO became a trusted business partner—and remains in the role today
What Was Achieved
Avoided a third costly mis-hire
Created a relationship-driven hiring process
Delivered a lasting leadership solution
Strengthened executive confidence and organizational momentum
