EB/Architects is an architectural practice and BIM consulting firm headquartered on Stadiou Avenue in Athens, with between 10 and 50 employees and over 25 years of operation. The practice has established itself as one of Greece’s most advanced firms in Building Information Modeling implementation, applying BIM methodology across every project it designs and delivers.
Its portfolio includes some of the most demanding architectural projects in modern Greek history: the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop; the Athens Olympic Velodrome, designed by Santiago Calatrava; and the Riviera Tower in Hellinikon, designed by Foster + Partners.
A practice that collaborates with firms of this calibre and manages projects of this complexity depends on internal operations that function without gaps. The Executive Support & Office Coordinator is not a peripheral role in this context. It is the position that keeps the management layer operational, supports project coordination across multiple concurrent briefs, and ensures that the practice’s senior team can focus on design and delivery without administrative disruption.
The Challenge
EB/Architects had an immediate need to fill an Executive Support & Office Coordinator role. Before approaching linq, the practice had already searched on other platforms without success. Qualified candidates had not materialised.
This outcome is not unusual for a role that appears general but, in practice, requires a specific combination of skills: strong organisational capability, discretion, and the adaptability to work effectively within a demanding professional environment where projects are complex, timelines are tight, and expectations are high.
The vacancy was already placing pressure on the firm’s operations. A solution was needed, and it was needed quickly.
Solution
We provided immediate support to EB/Architects from the first contact. We delivered a full walkthrough of linq Platform Attraction, enabling the team to use the platform’s full functionality from day one, without losing time to onboarding. Alongside that, we advised EB/Architects to reach out to interested candidates promptly, without allowing availability to close during the evaluation window.
Seventeen applications arrived through the platform. EB/Architects selected, assessed, and completed a hire in under 10 days. That speed was the result of two factors working together: the inbound reach of linq Platform Attraction, and a process structured from the outset to move without delay.
Result
Other platforms had not produced the right candidates. linq Platform Attraction generated 17 applications and led to a successful hire in under 10 days. This is the fastest recorded result in linq’s history of engagements.
Filling the Executive Support & Office Coordinator role in under 10 days removed the operational pressure the vacancy had been creating for EB/Architects. For a practice running simultaneous projects of national and international significance, the internal coordination function directly affects delivery quality. The successful hire restored that function within a timeframe that matched the firm’s urgent operational needs.
Conclusion
The EB/Architects case makes a point that data alone does not always communicate: when the platform is right, results can happen faster than expected. Other platforms had not delivered. linq Platform Attraction generated 17 applications and a completed hire in under 10 days.
The walkthrough that enabled immediate use of the platform, and the advice to move quickly on interested candidates before availability closed, were the two decisions that made the difference. linq does not need months to prove itself; in this case, it needed fewer than 10 days.
