Hey there, I'm Adam, and I'm absolutely obsessed with revolutionizing the world of recruitment.
Recruitment isn’t just a job for me; it’s my lifestyle. I can engage in extensive conversations on every aspect of organizational growth, focusing on people – be it attraction, retention, culture fit, alignment, or best practices in the modern world.

Confidential Executive Search

You’ll receive qualified candidates within days rather than weeks, maintaining momentum for your strategic initiatives.

"Adam did an incredible job helping us hire two critical roles which my team had been attempting to fill using LinkedIn, our networks, and job boards."
Precision Headhunting at Speed
Connect with professionals whose expertise and track record align precisely with your needs – talent your competitors can’t reach through traditional hiring. Instead of relying on “post and pray,” our approach actively maps and engages the full market, delivering top-tier candidates quickly without compromising on quality.
Marc Antoine
Sigouin
"Adam hired us an absolute rockstar of an engineer. He moves fast and understands the skill set and cultural fit we need."
Passive Candidate Pipeline Development
Access qualified professionals who aren’t actively job hunting but are open to the right opportunity. I tap into hidden talent, spark interest in your role, and get them genuinely excited about what your company has to offer – conversations that just don’t happen through job boards.
Christine
Song
"Adam is the only external recruiter I ever use!"
In-Office Transition Talent Strategy
Navigate the shift from remote to in-office work with recruitment strategies built for today’s workplace. We attract professionals who value in-person collaboration and are aligned with your culture, helping you build a team that thrives in a shared environment.

"Adam and his team were a pleasure to work with and provided strong candidates to us to interview right away as opposed to us having to sift through a ton of resumes."
Application Quality Optimization
Turn overwhelming applications into a stream of top candidates. With over 10,000 hours spent reviewing resumes, we know the good, the bad, and everything in between. We understand talent metrics and alignment – because the best candidates aren’t always the flashiest on paper. Our process filters out mismatches, connecting you only with those who truly fit.

Beyond traditional recruitment
How I Transform Talent Strategies
I partner with ambitious organizations to build sustainable talent ecosystems that drive growth at every stage. My approach addresses the complete talent lifecycle – from attraction and discovery to culture building and long-term retention.

Look beyond resumes to identify true catalysts for your company's next growth phase - the people who will transform challenges into opportunities.
Build a Culture Where People and Performance Thrive Long-Term
Create an environment where talent and business goals align, driving engagement and ensuring your best people build their future with you, not competitors.

I can confirm that speed is one of Adam and the Linkus team’s strengths. It usually takes us 2-3 weeks to go to market with a brand new role. With Linkus, it takes less than a week from my initial outreach to when we see our first candidate. It’s incredible!

Adam and the team at Linkus Group helped us recruit a world-class executive team. They not only quickly understood our business and culture needs but also provided a very high-level service throughout the process. The knowledge of this team is exceptional. We can’t recommend them enough!

Kris Hansen
The people that we’ve sourced through Linkus Group not only have the talent but have added to the chemistry of our company. Linkus thinks holistically about the kinds of people that they’re sourcing which is really important to us.

Raj Singh
Adam and his team at Linkus Group helped our team at Altrio attract and hire top talent early on and put in place most of our executive team. They go above and beyond and can move quickly to meet our hiring objectives. The people we’ve hired from Linkus not only fit our culture but also put us in a position to hire well on our own as we grew. We highly recommend using Linkus for early-stage startups.

Adam Gellert and his team have helped some of my clients with talent acquisition over the last year. They are highly responsive, move quickly and have presented excellent candidates for a variety of roles. Adam and I met through a mutual contact. He and his team are excelled on several fronts – specifically, in terms of quality of candidates and time to fill. They are highly personable, agile, and very responsive.

Gianni Lotfi
Adam has been an intergral part of Moo Media’s success in terms of HR and growth. Linkus Group has filled many positions with us over the last year, and we couldn’t recommend their services more. As the C.O.O. of a fast growing company, an asset like Linkus Group is essential to allow us to achieve our goals.
- COO at Moo! Media Group Inc.
Josh Singer
Linkus is a determined team with grit that showed up consistently to support our hiring efforts at Optimy for a unique, hard-to-fill executive-level role on our team. They care about our success, and we recommend them to startups looking for support in hiring an early team.
- CEO at Optimy.ai
Daniel Warner
Adam gets an A+ in my book. He’s become a trusted friend, advisor and recruiter. I should’ve started working with him when I founded our startup – it would’ve saved me a lot of stress and hair. He’s friendly, trustworthy and takes great care of his clients. I’d highly recommend working with him and his team to build yours.
