Executive Search
Itās no secret that outstanding leadership is a primary component in the success of any organization. Thatās why forward-looking companies are committed to securing accomplished professionals who can direct the strategies, tools, and structures that make a business unique.
Identifying, attracting, and hiring the right executive takes targeted resources, experience, reputation, and proven tactics in todayās highly-competitive marketplace. It also calls for a thorough understanding of your businessāits goals, strengths, challenges, culture, and how it is able to attract exceptional professionals. The THOR GroupĀ® has both the ability and the exclusive methodology to deliver the talent you seek.

Our exclusive methodology allows us to gather pertinent information from both your company and our applicants in order to match the requirements of each side. Our additional value-added services facilitate the interview and hiring process so any professional you choose can make an impact as quickly as possible.
Take a closer look at The THOR Groupās unique value-added services and strategies:
Understanding Your Goals
Any resource expansion or replacement engagement we accept begins with a thorough analysis of your company, including its mission, vision, and structure. We examine these variables for the overall company as well as for the regions and/or divisions involved.
Weāre also interested in the image and competitive advantages of the company, strengths, business and staffing challenges, career growth opportunities, and more. This helps us understand your company direction, challenges, and how the professional(s) you hire will contribute and benefit.
Team Development and Coordination
Because a high-level staff acquisition usually affects all areas of an organization, many clients select multiple individuals throughout the company to participate in the hiring process. We request that you choose a primary liaison to serve as our main point of contact as well as your internal facilitator.
We then work with you to design an interview timeline that will accommodate the availability of the people you want involved while streamlining the process in order to progress as rapidly as possible.
We will also define timeframes for communication / feedback with candidates regarding process continuation or conclusion.
Position Definition
THORĀ® employs a unique, proprietary methodology to ascertain the skills and abilities necessary to get the job done. Our āPick 6ā approach allows us to determine which factors are most critical by breaking an opportunity into specific objectives to accomplish as well as tasks to perform, with percentages of time estimated on each. We also find out how communication channels are set, amount of support available, and with whom the individual will interface. This facilitates agreement among your decision makers upon what elements are vital in performing the job
Interview Preparation
Since most companies do not list the hiring of high-level professionals among their core business functions, they can often benefit from our interview feedback programs. When appropriate, we offer our clients seminars which cover general interview techniques, goals of top performers, and interview ādosā and ādonāts.ā We also provide, upon request, question guides that help the interviewer gain valuable insight in such areas as attitude, motivation, behavior, planning, and more.
Candidate Methodology
From an in-depth candidate interview/analysis, we evaluate career performance, communication skills, management style, behavioral patterns, and professionalism. Our methodology may include at least three employment references, from which we gather information on duties, accomplishments, soft skills, areas for improvement, and verification of title, dates, salaries, and education.
The standard information we make available on any candidate we refer includes a resume, a career overview sheet, detailed reference information, a āPick 6ā qualifications guide matching the candidateās skills to each of the position requirements, and a āCareer Hot Pointsā guide matching the job factors the candidate is seeking to what your opportunity offers.
Debriefing
We will conduct post-interview debriefings with your decision makers and the candidates whom you have met. If both parties show mutual interest, we will facilitate the employment offer, report acceptance, and attend to any final details, including collegiate bridging.
