Increasing Hiring Success in Polkadot by Missing Link
Beneficiary:Introduction
Attempts At Governance - Interview
Talent Acquisition takes a significant amount of time, resources and mental capacity from teams that should rather spend their time building. The effects of a bad hire are long lasting and can add an additional burden to teams. We propose to solve this issue by guiding teams through a streamlined, optimized hiring process and multiple workshops to demonstrate best practices, fill the talent pipeline, provide access to our hiring platform and add up to 7 high-quality hires into the ecosystem.
Funds from the treasury will cover the service of sourcing, interviewing, strategizing, and placing at least 7 talent positions in key Polkadot ecosystem teams.
What each participating team gets:
- Consulting and support on hiring best practices, setting up best-in-class job profiles, interview processes, professional outreach and improving long-term team building strategies.
- Free access to TrufflePig, a web3 Application Tracking System
- Growing the Polkadot talent base by funneling talent into the ecosystem
- At least 1 hire using Missing Link’s guidance and expertise
Each team will benefit from:
- A success-oriented long-term hiring strategy
- Generating less monetary and cultural waste by avoiding bad hires
- Boosting their output with experienced talent
- Saving time by utilizing Missing Link’s highly personalized sourcing, screening and pre-interview process
A part of the Polkadot Ecosystem
Our journey in the Web3 space has been enriched by years of collaboration and partnership with prominent players in the Polkadot ecosystem. As a trusted ally to organizations like Parity, Web3 Foundation, and others, we have placed top-tier talent in key positions, contributing to their groundbreaking achievements. Our engagement with these projects has granted us deep insights into the unique requirements and dynamics of the ecosystem. We have honed our expertise in identifying talent that complements the values and objectives of the Polkadot community, laying the foundation for future success.
Polkadot Decoded 2023: A Catalyst for Collaboration
In June 2023, we had the privilege of attending Polkadot Decoded, an event that served as a melting pot of leading minds in Polkadot. There, we engaged in many conversations with dozens of forward-thinking teams seeking to elevate their projects to new heights. We understood that hiring is an ongoing pain point that needs a holistic solution. Our approach of guiding companies through a hiring process, thereby teaching them best-practices along the way received overwhelming interest and support. Many teams agree with us that it would solve a problem that could unlock future growth and ensure success of the ecosystem as a whole.
Building a Sustainable Future with Treasury Funds
Our funding request of only 1.6 Treasury Income Days Spent to the Polkadot treasury is an investment in the future of the ecosystem. While we seek support upfront to initiate our talent placement program, we understand the gravity of handling treasury funds with utmost responsibility and respect. Our well-established reputation in the industry speaks for itself, backed by a history of nurturing Web3 adoption since 2017.
Return on Investment
Each participating team would be set up for long-term hiring success, with an actionable pipeline of candidates and best practices implemented plus the commitment to at least one hire per project. The goal is that after our engagement the hiring speed and quality will be increased and there will be less of a need for external support and resources in the future.
We strongly believe that the gains generated by this proposal will not only surpass but endure well beyond the immediate treasury expenditure.
We are looking forward to hearing the community’s feedback on our proposal and working with many more teams in the Polkadot ecosystem.

Hi MissingLink,
Thank you for submitting this proposal.
It is clear that you are a credible firm that has delivered strong value to your clients.
We are trying to understand is if the Treasury is the right funding source for this, and if the timing makes sense based on the scope of the proposal.
We have a few questions so we can better assess the above:
— Hiring is certainly challenging in this space, but do ecosystem teams have a hiring need in this market, and the funding for it?
— If yes, given this proposal is for 7 teams/placements, why are those teams not working with MissingLink directly on getting specific identified headcount?
— In the filter process for who would qualify in the 7 teams, how many are you currently engaged with that haven't previously received treasury funding?
Best, Ivy
