dotLinkers IT Recruitment

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the SVP of product and engineering at Lemonlight, an AI-powered video production platform that streamlines and automates pre-production, ensuring brand consistency and faster workflows for creative teams and agencies producing video at scale.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with dotLinkers IT Recruitment?

We needed help finding a candidate for a difficult role.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired dotLinkers IT Recruitment to find an L6–L7 engineer who could work with small teams and wanted to be a full builder across product, engineering, and design. This person would lead on the SDLC side and key engineering architecture, as well as run their own roadmap. This role was incredibly hard to hire for, but after a lot of work, we got there. The team was responsible for recruiting, finding people, and then communicating with them through our process. They also adjusted their approach when candidate cohorts weren't working so we could narrow down to who we wanted.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from dotLinkers IT Recruitment.

How did you come to work with dotLinkers IT Recruitment?

We found them through an online search and Clutch. We chose them because their pricing fit our budget, they were a great culture fit, they offered good value for the cost, their company values aligned with ours, and we had a really great intro call and vibes with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from May–August 2026

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We got a great candidate fit who passed our case study and paid trial tests. The candidate will start in a few weeks. We adjusted our hiring process slightly based on candidates coming in, but overall, our process was already strong, and dotLinkers IT Recruitment just increased velocity at the top of the funnel and then focused on candidates that would pass the recorded screener. If we were to do it over, we'd have that metric be the core one for dotLinkers IT Recruitment; candidate success past stage 1, and then we can feed them back info regarding phases 2 and 3 of our process. The leading indicator is if they pass the screener and the count of people weekly who did. We got around two candidates who passed the screener per week from dotLinkers IT Recruitment.

How did dotLinkers IT Recruitment perform from a project management standpoint?

They were great; very communicative and helpful, on time, and reliable. We primarily communicated via email and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were very flexible to my unique approach and adapted candidates to make it through and improved their suggested candidates over time as we calibrated with each other.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We'd appreciate a monthly check-in call, even if it was just for 15 minutes.

Additionally, the candidates we’ve hired show motivation for their work.

dotLinkers IT Recruitment’s project management is cost-effective and efficient. In terms of budget, they’ve exceeded our expectations because they don’t try to push higher prices and salaries to make a bigger commission, which I appreciate.
