What Our Clients Are Saying:

  • “In the nascent days of A/D/O, Misfit Talent embedded in our company and was able to internalize our vision and truly became an extension of our team as we built from the ground up. From helping shape roles, to identifying and vetting talent, to hiring them onto our team, it was beyond helpful to be able to entrust this load to them.”

    Nate Pinsley, Head of Studio

  • "I value quality over quantity, and that's exactly what Misfit delivers. It's not a laundry list of half-vetted candidates they did a keyword search to find. It's clear in every candidate they present, that they truly listened. They read between the lines of the official ask. They just get it. And while they have a wide (but well-groomed) network to pull from, I've also seen them do proactive searches that uncover hard to find, one-of-kind talent."

    Tannen Campbell, CMO

  • “Having helped scale founder led and early stage start ups, the default is often to engage more traditional corporate search firms for critical leadership hires. But the challenge to find the right talent is more nuanced and requires a personal and fully engaged partner. Misfit Talent has been that partner for me. They dig in to really understand not just the hiring need but where our business is going, and have consistently introduced talent that we would have never uncovered. They will always be my first call.”

    Anne Emig, VP, Business Operations & Corporate Development

  • “Working with the team from Misfit Talent was a real pleasure…. Smart, responsive, and fun. It was a seamless collaboration that allowed us to move quickly and best of all, to find a rockstar.”

    Dana Norris, Senior Managing Director

  • “The team at Misfit understands the experience design industry in a way that is hard to find in strategic talent partners, which was key when we partnered with them to build out our inaugural team across four disciplines and three cities. Patricia, Whitney, and the rest of their team not only brought industry knowledge and network reach to our efforts, but also optimism and energy in representing our nascent team well to candidates. They're talent rock stars all around!”

    Aaron Ferber, VP of Experience and Design

  • “Our partnership with Misfit broadened our search beyond industry, sparking curiosity for those we might discover off the familiar path that'd been followed for decades. The team delivered a spectrum of original and engaged candidates while being responsive to our brief. They listened intently to advise us creatively.”

    Mark Wanek, Director of Business Transformation

  • “I have known and worked with the Misfit team for almost 10 years. They consistently prove to be partners in everything that they do, whether you are a candidate or a business looking for talent search support. I have the honor of benefitting from both! They are excellent listeners, thoughtful strategic partners, generous with insight and expertise, and most importantly effective. If you lean in with intention and commitment, you will get it right back tenfold and with the utmost integrity every step of the way. Hire them! You will not regret it.”

    Erin Noel, Head of People

  • “I've had the unique pleasure of working with Misfit both as a client and a candidate, and I can't recommend them highly enough. As a client, Patricia and Whitney are my go-to search team. They really took the time to get to know my organization’s business needs and cultural values. Their instincts are unbelievably sharp, always finding that perfect mix of candidates and making sure the experience is seamless and human. They navigate all the nuances with empathy and a strong bias for action. Their commitment to both sides of the process is simply unmatched.”

    Lucy Chung, Founder/Consultant

What Our Talent Is Saying:

  • "Working with Misfit, the entire process took a mere four weeks, after an impeccably well organized + highly communicative candidate experience. The team were the perfect blend of proactive + reactive; they always ensured I was prepared well ahead of my interviews while making themselves available across continents & time zones for every question I had. Thank you, Misfit!!"

    Joey Katona

  • “Words do not adequately express the gratitude I have for the Misfit Talent team. Their support, insight, and fearless persistence is instrumental in the development of more dynamic and diverse brands starting with the talent that powers them.”

    Ambrosia Long

  • “As a self proclaimed misfit, working with the Misfit team was a joy. Understanding the multi-hyphenated experience and skills I have (and taking real time to understand me as an actual human above and beyond just the career experience I possess), feels like a rare, unique and needed offering for these times.”

    Sabrina Dridje

  • “As a candidate, Misfit is the most genuine recruiting team I’ve ever encountered. They’ve given me valuable feedback on my career narrative, helped me steer my job search, and connected me with truly relevant conversations.”
