Braincube, an agile IT and consulting company, needed to quickly bring in two critical team members: a Software Engineer and a Data Engineer. 

With a lean hiring budget and fierce competition for top talent, the challenge was clear. 

Their answer?
linq’s Talent Database – Greece’s largest pool of vetted professionals – giving Braincube the control to manage hiring in-house while keeping costs down and speed high.

Challenge

Braincube needed to fill two of the most sought-after roles in the Greek market: Software Engineer and Data Engineer

With a limited talent pool and candidates seeking high compensation,

 attracting the right people was particularly challenging. The company required a targeted approach – one that would keep cost per hire low, make the most of available resources, and provide the flexibility to compete effectively for top talent.

Solutions

Braincube turned to linq’s Talent Database – a self-service platform of pre-vetted professionals that enables highly targeted sourcing. 

  • We provided two tailored candidate lists, one for each role, allowing the company to begin screening and submitting linq requests immediately. 
  • At the same time, we closely monitored the progress of each request and supported the scheduling of communications, making it easier to connect with candidates and accelerating the overall selection process.

Results

Within just 30 days, Braincube successfully hired both 

  • a Software Engineer and 
  • a Data Engineer.

In total, 

  • 66 applications were received for the Software Engineer role and 
  • 12 for the Data Engineer role, 
  • resulting in 13 linq requests.

Of these, 

  • 8 candidates expressed strong interest and 
  • 7 interviews were conducted. 

These hires gave Braincube the technical strength it needed to accelerate project delivery and respond to client needs with greater agility.

Conclusion

The collaboration with Braincube demonstrated the true value of linq’s Talent Database as a strategic tool for smaller companies looking to compete on equal footing in the talent market. By filling two critical roles, Braincube gained the expertise it needed and has already entrusted us with additional positions, renewing our partnership. This reinforces linq’s role as a strategic ally, connecting companies with the talent they need to grow and stand out.
