Hi,
I suspect that from the solutions offered below you mean the
procedural oriented paradigm which is given by the last solution.
note, that fisrt it is recommended to Sort[] your table. This is
usually done in O(n Log[2,n]) run time complexity and will improve any
solution that you will choose to use later. I'm also sure that you
will get many other solutions and approaches
For the code offered below, the result is given in variable res, and
the rest is to compare the run time (ignoring sorting that all rely
on).

sp = Sort[pp = Array[Random[Integer, {1, 1000}] &, 1000]];
(res = Table[If[! MemberQ[sp, i], i], {i, 1000}] // Union //
 Most) // Timing // First
(res = Reap[Do[If[! MemberQ[sp, i], Sow[i]], {i, 
              1000}]] // Rest // Flatten) // Timing // First
(res = Reap[Do[If[! MemberQ[sp, i], Sow[i]], {i,
 1000}]] // Rest // Flatten) // Timing // First
k = 1; (res = Rest[Reap[(While[k < #, If[++k < #, Sow[k]]]) & /@ sp]] // 
            First // Flatten) // Timing // First

The running times that I got on my computer for the specific example
genrated by the rundom numbers are:
0.22 Second
0.191 Second
0.18 Second
0.01 Second
