How We Operate

We step in after online recruitment and complete the in-depth medical screen. Sites get strongly qualified candidates. Sponsors get enrollment moving.

Candidate arrives from the recruitment platform

Secondary screen - medical history vs inclusion/exclusion

Site handoff - only protocol-ready patients go forward

Sponsor updates - patterns, issues, and progress.

Brought in at startup or as a resuce when enrollment is stalled.

What Link is hired to do:

  • Interview potential study candidates

  • Document preliminary medical history

  • Send clean handoffs to site coordinators

  • Update the sponsor on screening progress and drop-off patterns

  • Help sites use the patient recruitment system




How do Secondary Screeners work?

A Link screener reviews each candidate after the online pre-screen. They check medical history against the protocol, talk with the patient, and only then send the person to the site. They also work with the sponsor, CRO’s and coordinators so eligibility is understood the same way across sites.

Link’s role with the sponsor sites?

We sit between the recruitment vendor and the study site. Weducate the patient, pass a complete screen to the coordinator, and keep the sponsor current on what is converting and what is not

Better candidates reach the site. That means fewer screen fails, faster enrollment, and less demand on coordinator time.
