About Mainlynk
Built around the institutional relationship.
Mainlynk was created to solve a structural problem in commercial lending.
Financial institutions frequently encounter legitimate customer credit needs they cannot efficiently serve. Capital providers frequently have the authority and capital to serve those needs but lack an efficient, governed source of institutional volume.
Mainlynk connects these needs through a controlled operating model that protects the source relationship, governs provider conduct and helps capital providers build the capacity required to serve the channel.

Doherty Search Partners
Doherty Search Partners recruits enterprise-level leadership for banks, specialty lenders, credit unions, and fintech-related companies. Its focus is the small set of roles that actually shape an institution — CEO, COO, CFO, CRO, and heads of major lines of business — across origination, credit, risk, operations, product, and evolution. Engagements run on a defined taxonomy: the operating model and required expertise are mapped before a search opens, so the hire fits the strategy rather than the job description.
If you’re in need of new executive talent, Doherty Search Partners recruits banking and private credit leadership.

DSP Recruiters
DSP Recruiters is a banking-specialized talent platform for institutions that need recruiting capability, not a single placement. It combines confidential access to passive banking talent, role-specific search, candidate assessment, succession and workforce advisory, HRIS and ATS optimization, and fractional recruiting capacity embedded inside the institution. Banks and credit unions engage at the level their size and internal capability warrant — one urgent search, an ongoing hiring portfolio, or a standing talent function they never have to build.
If you’re in need of recruiting capacity, DSP Recruiters builds talent capability for banks and credit unions.
