How Novidea Filled a Technical Project Manager Role Using linq Platform Sourcing

Novidea is a boutique digital innovation agency based in Tavros, Athens, employing between 11 and 50 people. Founded in 2017, the company delivers custom software development, POS hardware and software integration, web development, and digital strategy, working across sectors with a model built around bespoke, end-to-end client solutions. At a company of this size and operating model, the Technical Project Manager sits at the center of delivery: coordinating the technical team, managing timelines, and maintaining client communication across concurrent projects. This is not a role that can remain vacant without consequences showing up quickly in how projects run. The Novidea case is directly relevant to any small or mid-sized technology company that needs to place a dual-profile technical and managerial role without an internal recruitment function to manage the search.

Novidea needed to fill a Technical Project Manager role. Candidates for this position need to hold two things at once: a working understanding of software development processes and proven capability in project coordination and delivery management. That combination narrows the available pool considerably. In a sector where demand for technical talent already runs ahead of supply, candidates who can operate across both dimensions are among the most sought-after profiles in the market. For a company without a dedicated HR or recruitment function, reaching those candidates efficiently requires structured access to the right database and a disciplined process from first outreach through to close.

We used the linq Talent Database to identify candidates with the combined technical and project management profile required for the Technical Project Manager role. We tracked every linq request and every application throughout the process, maintaining continuous visibility over the pipeline and ensuring no candidate interaction was left unresolved. We coordinated communications scheduling on behalf of Novidea and sourced CVs where candidates had not provided them, reducing friction at every point of contact. Our advisory covered the full process end to end, giving Novidea the recruitment capability it needed without requiring an internal function to run it.

A Technical Project Manager is not a generalist role. The profile is specific, the pool is limited, and the search requires more than broad outreach. The Novidea outcome reflects what a structured, closely managed process produces even in constrained conditions.

Filling the Technical Project Manager role gave Novidea the internal coordination layer its delivery model requires. For a company running multiple bespoke client projects simultaneously, that role determines whether timelines hold and whether client expectations are met. The Πρόσληψη closed a gap that had a direct impact on operational performance.

The second engagement with Novidea reinforces what the first already demonstrated: linq delivers results for smaller companies regardless of how specific the role is or how narrow the candidate pool. The Talent Database, combined with close process monitoring and end-to-end advisory, converts a difficult search into a structured one with a reliable outcome. When the role sits across two disciplines, the pool is limited, and the company does not have an internal recruitment function to run the process, that structure is what makes the difference.

“The Technical Project Manager role is not easy to fill, and linq handled the full search on our behalf. They kept us informed at every step and made sure the process moved forward consistently. It freed our team to stay focused on delivery.”
