"I worked in recruitment. I'm not going to pitch a CFO a contractor desk."

Background

ask a lead gen agency what a perm fee is. watch what happens

Ex-recruitment, on purpose.

Nathan worked in recruitment before he sold to it. 360 recruiter, heavy civils exec search, fastest biller in company history. He has taken the brief that turned out to be three briefs, chased the offer through a counter, and watched a placement fall over on the Friday it was meant to sign. He has also done the BD that keeps all of that fed, in the gaps between interviews, which is precisely where it goes wrong.

That background is the whole pitch. You have been emailed by a hundred lead gen agencies that could not tell a perm fee from a day rate. When outreach goes out in your name, the person writing it needs to know your business well enough to not embarrass you in front of a hiring manager. Nathan does, because it used to be his business too.

How we run

Founder-led. Not a slogan, an operating principle.

Plenty of agencies sell you the senior name in the pitch and hand you the work experience kid once the invoice clears. Link Think does not work that way. Nathan founded the business, sold the first engagements and stays hands-on with every account: the hitlists, the copy, the replies.

Your outreach carries your reputation, so it gets senior attention as standard. No junior learning the trade on your name, no account manager relaying messages between you and the work, no handover document slowly going stale. When you call, the person who picks up knows your market, your niche and this week's replies.

Exhibit A · The founder standard
  • Who takes your discovery call THE FOUNDER
  • Who approves every word YOU
  • Juniors learning on your reputation NEVER
  • Layers between you and the work NONE
  • Your market known before we pitch it ALWAYS
Exhibit B · How the work runs
  • Your sign-off on every word ALWAYS
  • Weekly written ledger EVERY WEEK
  • Contract length ONE MONTH
  • Exit clause SACK US
  • Dashboard theatre NONE
