Casey O'Toole (Partner)
Casey O’Toole, known as the AI Alchemist, is a pioneering entrepreneur and thought leader in AI-driven LinkedIn automation, with over 15 years of experience revolutionizing how businesses generate leads and build relationships. As the founder of LinkyBot and MyLinkedSolution, he has created the first truly conversational AI system that autonomously engages, qualifies, and schedules prospects directly on LinkedIn, helping clients generate daily qualified recruiting appointments and enabling one recruiter to generate over half a million dollars in revenue through AI-automated recruiting systems alone.
Casey began his career in traditional sales and business development, where he witnessed firsthand the overwhelming manual effort required for effective lead generation. After helping countless businesses scale across multiple sectors, he recognized a critical gap: sales professionals and recruiters were drowning in repetitive outreach tasks, preventing them from focusing on building meaningful relationships. He made it his mission to create AI solutions that enhance rather than replace human connection, particularly recognizing LinkedIn as the perfect platform for B2B recruiting and sales.
Today, Casey stands at the forefront of ethical AI automation, achieving unprecedented response rates—significantly above the industry average. Known for his ability to blend cutting-edge conversational AI with seamless CRM integration, Casey and his LinkyBot platform enable businesses to scale their LinkedIn engagement without sacrificing authenticity or personal touch.

Executive Search
It is a pro-active method, in which we identify the best available candidates from our research, contacts, database or knowledge of various industries, and simply from knowing who’s who in many different fields.
Executive search is the recommended method of recruitment when seeking a senior-level executive with exceptional skills and experience. This process enables our experts to identify individuals who are not necessarily seeking a change of employment, therefore considerably broadening the range of potential candidates available.
Direct Hire
Our Contingency Search is a results-focused service, with fees paid only after a candidate is successfully placed. On a contingent basis we research, identify and introduce qualified candidates, manage the interview and selection process, provide detailed references and background information, negotiate compensation and provide valuable feedback after candidates start.
With Direct Hire search Our clients are only billed for service if a candidate is successfully hired. There’s no better risk-free way to bring top talent directly into your organization.
