Design Hiring Agency — Est. 2026
TONKO finds and places the world's best design talent — permanently, into your company. We do the searching, vetting, and matching. You make the hire.
Start your search →We go beyond job boards. Our network of passive, senior-level designers isn't on LinkedIn — we know where to look.
Every candidate is screened for craft, culture fit, and seniority before you ever see a name. No noise, only signal.
We place designers as full employees of your company. One placement fee, then the talent is entirely yours.
One conversation. We learn your role, team culture, growth stage, and what makes a designer succeed in your environment.
We tap our curated network — actively headhunting top-tier talent, not filtering inbound applications.
You receive a shortlist of 3–5 vetted candidates with detailed profiles, portfolio notes, and our recommendation.
You interview, you decide, you hire. We support negotiation and a smooth handover. Our commission is paid on placement.
