Who We Are

LinkTech started with a simple idea: hiring should be better—smarter, more human, and actually built to last. Born from a mix of deep industry knowledge and a few too many “there has to be a better way” conversations, we’ve set out to change the way companies build and sustain high-performing teams.

Passion Led Us Here

Based in Washington, LinkTech was built on the belief that hiring should be smarter, more human, and built to last. After years of watching companies struggle to find the right people—and great talent get overlooked because they didn’t fit a rigid mold—we knew there had to be a better way.

So, we built one.

Our team is a mix of industry experts, big thinkers, and relationship-builders who don’t just connect candidates with companies—we connect the right minds with the right environments for long-term success. We dig deeper than job titles and resumes, focusing on cognitive diversity, adaptability, problem-solving, and real impact.

We come from different backgrounds, different industries, and even different corners of the world. Our love for travel and culture has given us a global perspective on talent, shaping how we build teams that thrive.

At the core of LinkTech is a simple idea: hiring should be about people, not just processes. When companies and candidates are matched not just by skills, but by how they think and collaborate, everybody wins.

Why settle for ordinary when you can have a team that empowers organizations with the knowledge and strategies needed for sustainable growth and success, all with a sprinkle of humor and a dash of awesomeness?

What We Stand For

Our Mission

Our mission is to create stronger teams by connecting organizations with talent who possess diverse mindsets, solve challenges creatively, and make a significant contribution. We champion an empathetic hiring experience where both companies and candidates feel valued, understood, and positioned for success.
Our Vision

Our vision is to redefine hiring by breaking away from outdated, one-size-fits-all processes. We challenge the status quo—because we’re not standard, and hiring shouldn’t be either. By prioritizing cognitive diversity, human connection, and forward-thinking strategies, we’re creating a hiring process that actually works—for companies, for candidates, and for the future of work.

Rooted in Purpose:

The Principles That Shape Us

People First, Always.

Hiring is human. We see beyond resumes, focusing on the real person—their experiences, perspectives, and how they’ll shape a team.

Empathy in Action.

We don’t just talk about putting people first—we live it. Whether it’s candidates, clients, or our own team, we lead with understanding, respect, and a genuine commitment to better hiring experiences.

Mindset Matters.

We look beyond surface skills to understand how candidates think and solve problems. This focus on cognitive approaches allows us to build teams that innovate from the inside out.

Real Talk Recruiting.

We ditch the corporate jargon and speak human to human. Hiring should be a genuine conversation, not a robotic transaction. We bring honesty and transparency to every interaction.
