You went independent for the craft — advising clients, reading people, closing the hires that shape a company. What independent search has lacked is the rest of it: the research, the systems, and the reach of a global firm.
Topliner is that machine. An AI research platform, a senior delivery team, and the operational systems to run a search from kickoff to placement. A boutique with the reach of a giant — and the people who do the work keep the upside.
What we are
An AI-native executive search firm built for independent recruiters and boutique search firms. We pair sourcing, enrichment, scoring and candidate intelligence across millions of profiles with people who still do the judgement. Founded in 2024, headquartered in Amsterdam, in partnership with The Big Search.
Who it's for
Exceptional independent firms and consultants. If you run your own practice — or you are ready to — and you want the infrastructure of a global firm without becoming one, talk to us.
