We needed a CFO for a Series A fundraise. GigLink had a shortlist of three verified candidates on our desks in 36 hours. The intro video feature was everything — we knew exactly who we were hiring before a single call.

James B.
CEO, Series A SaaS — London

Saved 65% compared to our old advisory firm. Same quality, better communication, and I didn't have to talk to a single recruiter. GigLink is just… better.

Annika S.
COO, Manufacturing — Singapore

Eight years freelancing and GigLink is the first platform that treats finance professionals with actual respect. My rates, my clients, my terms. Finally a platform that gets it.

Rachel L.
Fractional CFO, CPA — New York

Our books were an absolute disaster. GigLink matched us with a Xero-certified bookkeeper in 48 hours. She sorted 18 months of chaos in two weeks. Worth every cent.

The transparency is what got me. I could see the hourly rate, credentials, and watch an intro video before I even sent a message. Hired same day. Best financial decision I've made for the business.

Tom W.

I joined GigLink as an expert six months ago and my billings have doubled. The brief system means I only go for work I actually want. No more awkward cold pitches to people who ghost you.

Nina K.

We run a 200-person business across three countries. GigLink found us a part-time Financial Controller with IFRS experience for a fraction of what a full-time hire would cost. Absolute no-brainer.
