A specialist practice that places every role an MSP, MSSP, or cybersecurity business needs, from L1 to vCISO, sales to service delivery. Nationally and internationally. Run by an operator who hires these exact roles for his own MSSP, so we know what good looks like at every level.
Most recruiters keyword-match a resume and forward it along. They have never carried a service desk, never sat across from a managing partner, never had to know whether an engineer can actually own a network at three in the morning.
Escencion Search is run by Adam Totounji, who operates Cynexlink, the MSP and MSSP his family founded. We hire these exact roles for our own shop. So when we put a candidate in front of you, they have already been judged by someone who knows what an L2 versus an L3 truly means, what a real SOC analyst should be able to do, and what separates a closer from a coordinator.
From the front line to the leadership bench. If an MSP or MSSP needs the role, we run the search for it.
If your shop needs the role, we run the search. Tell us what good looks like and we will go find it, here or anywhere in the world.
Whether the right person is two towns over or two continents away, we run the search and handle the path to hire.
Retained search for on-site, hybrid, and fully remote roles in every market. We know the talent, the comp bands, and what a real MSP hire commands in your region, so the offer lands and the hire sticks.
Expand your bench abroad without the legal maze. We source internationally and place through vetted Employer of Record partners, so you hire compliantly in new countries without standing up an entity yourself.
No resume dumps, no spray and pray. A focused, retained search built around the one role you actually need filled.
We sit down and define the role the way an operator would: the responsibilities, the level, the comp band, and what good actually looks like in your shop. The clearer the picture, the sharper the search.
We go and find them, including the strong people who are not actively looking. Specialist sourcing across our MSP, MSSP, and cybersecurity network, domestic or international, never a job-board lottery.
Each candidate is screened by someone who has done the job and runs the business. Technical depth, real-world judgment, and culture fit, all pressure-tested before you ever see a name.
You get a tight slate of people who genuinely fit, with our honest read on each one. A short list of yeses, not a long list of maybes for you to sort through.
We support the offer, the close, and the start. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, so if a hire does not work out in the agreed window, we run it again.
The reasons MSP and MSSP owners hand us the searches that matter most.
We only serve MSPs, MSSPs, and cybersecurity firms. No generalist distraction, no learning your world on your dime.
Run by an active MSSP owner. We know the difference between an L2 and an L3, and we screen for it before you do.
We take on a limited number of searches at once. Your role gets real focus, not a spot in a queue of fifty.
If a placement does not work out inside the agreed window, we re-run the search. Our skin stays in the game.
The right person, wherever they are. Domestic placements and compliant global hiring through vetted partners.
We move fast because we know where to look. But we never trade fit for a quick fill that costs you in six months.
A sample of the roles we have run for MSP, MSSP, and cybersecurity owners.
Yes, and on purpose. We place into MSPs, MSSPs, and cybersecurity firms exclusively. That focus is the whole point. We know the roles, the levels, the comp bands, and what separates a strong hire from a costly one, because it is the only world we work in.
Every role an MSP or MSSP needs. Engineering from L1 to L3, security and compliance from SOC analyst to vCISO, sales and growth, service delivery and operations, and leadership up to COO. If your shop needs the seat filled, we run the search for it.
We work on a retained search basis, with the fee structured to the role and level. Every search carries a replacement guarantee. Because each mandate gets real focus, we take a limited number at a time. We will walk you through the exact structure on the call once we know the role.
Yes. We place domestically across the United States and internationally through vetted Employer of Record partners, so you can build a team anywhere and hire compliantly in new countries without standing up your own entity.
A generalist recruiter keyword-matches a resume and forwards it. We are run by an active MSSP operator who hires these exact roles for his own shop. Every candidate is vetted by someone who has done the job, so you see people we would hire ourselves, not a stack of maybes.
It depends on the seniority and how rare the skill set is. We move quickly because we know exactly where to look, but we will never trade fit for speed and hand you a hire that falls apart in six months. We will give you a realistic timeline for your specific role on the call.
Tell us the role you cannot find. We will define the search, run it properly, and put real fits in front of you, backed by a replacement guarantee. A short call is all it takes to start.
