They quickly aligned on the brief, targeted the right profiles, and ran an efficient end-to-end process that resulted in a strong hire. I would work with Linkus again without hesitation.”

“Adam and his team at Linkus helped me build my team from the ground up. The engineers they placed were the smartest and most capable I’ve ever worked with, and so good that they’ve followed me to other companies to build with me again. The recruiting fees delivered 1,000x the value. Adam cares deeply about the companies he works with and knows how to find the right people.”
Mike Ballas
3x Exited Founder and Investor
“Adam is my go-to recruiter. Linkus quickly helped me find a skilled and qualified candidate for my role. I loved working with this team because they were fast and responsive. They worked with me in my preferred communication channels and they matched the pace of my organization. I believe I was able to secure my top candidate because Linkus was managing the process and communications with the candidate. At the end of the process, I felt that Linkus was more of a concierge service than a recruiter because they went above and beyond.”
Elysha Ames
Director of Customer Success at Carebook
“Adam and Abby at Linkus successfully helped us hire a Head of Customer Success, a role critical to our next stage of growth. We had tried a mix of in house hiring and agencies, but the real issue was clarity, not effort. We needed to define what great actually looked like and avoid wasting time on the wrong candidates. They helped us pressure-test the role, identify gaps in our Customer Success function, and cut through the noise. Instead of volume, they brought focus and strong candidates we could trust. As a founder, I value speed, confidence, and high-impact partners. Adam and Abby delivered on all three. I would work with them again without hesitation.”
Matt Espinoza
Partner at Clover Labs
“A business owner has to do everything in their company to get it up and running, and then to keep it operational, growing and thriving. Because of this, there are times that things are forgotten, fall by the wayside, and drop on the priority list. When Adam contacted me, I felt bad for not getting certain policies in place earlier; however, I felt relieved because I knew he was there to help. After discussing my company and needs with me, he put a plan together to get our company completely up to standard and then connected me with the appropriate members of his team to do so. All of the interactions I’ve had with the company have been professional, I’ve found value in the work they provide and most importantly, I feel relieved that my company has a plan to get all of these policies and procedures in place. That way, I can focus on growing my company while Linkus takes care of the things I don’t have time to do or don’t understand how to do. I would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in outsourcing their Human Resources function.”
Melissa Maker
President of Clean My Space & YouTube Creator
“I wanted to take a moment to personally recommend The Linkus Group based on the experience we had working with them at GHD Digital. Over a relatively short period of time, Linkus helped us successfully hire eight new team members across a range of roles, including senior marketing leadership, account executives, and entry level BDRs. We were moving quickly, operating under tight timelines, and needed quality candidates who aligned not only with the experience we were looking for, but also with our culture and pace as an organization. What stood out most was the consistency and communication throughout the process. The Linkus team was highly responsive, transparent, and easy to work with from start to finish. They took the time to understand what we were actually looking for, challenged us when needed, and delivered strong candidates quickly without sacrificing quality. I would highly recommend The Linkus Group to any organization looking for a recruitment partner that moves fast, communicates well, and delivers quality talent.”
Roland Griesmayer
Head of Revenue at GHD Digital
“We partnered with Adam and Linkus after I had worked with him previously in agency recruiting and later brought him in again while building teams at Sonnet Insurance. We needed a hiring partner who could move quickly without sacrificing quality in a competitive market. I chose to work with Adam because I already knew his reputation, trusted his process, and had seen firsthand how well he balanced speed with quality. He has a strong network, understands the market deeply, and consistently delivered high-quality candidates. The biggest outcome was hiring the right people quickly. Not just filling seats, but bringing in people who fit, stayed, and succeeded long term. Adam and the Linkus team were responsive, easy to work with, and genuinely focused on what was best for the business. I’d absolutely partner with them again.”
