About Drew Lindsay

Are you a business seeking the right talent to bring your vision to life?For over 20 years, I’ve been dedicated to redefining recruitment. As CEO and Co-Founder of GuruLink, we championed remote and hybrid work long before it became mainstream. We've partnered with dynamic startups and tech companies like Instacart, Zapier, Coursera, Kijiji, Workday, Hopper, DeepMind, Cohere, Wave, Intelex, SOTI, Dapper Labs and many more to reimagine and scale their talent function. Our experience extends with many of these organizations from early stages to exit.At GuruLink, we combine innovative technology (including LLM agents) with a relationship-driven process. With offices across North America and a global talent perspective, we tackle talent challenges such as skills gaps, turnover, remote dynamics, and the demand for diverse tech talent. Our tailored recruitment solutions help businesses find top talent quickly and cost-effectively.We are pioneers offering flexible solutions through on-demand recruitment and embedded teams since 2003, aligning with your goals for both immediate needs and long-term support. In addition we’ve invested in startups and venture funds, re-aligning incentives for deeper, lasting partnerships.Driven by curiosity and a growth mindset, I love mentoring startups, traveling, tinkering with tech and spending time with my twin children. Let’s connect and explore how we can shape the future of recruitment together: drew@gurulink.ca
