Success Stories

Systems Administrator
 
We needed to fill in various IT positions, most specifically for our programming and networking related projects. These needs led us to engaging The Thor Group to assist in providing these resources. On the programming side, Thor assisted us with our NT and AS/400 projects which involved sales, manufacturing and internet applications. In networking, Thor was able to provide us with an excellent Systems Administrator. Also just recently, they helped us find an IT Executive Director that was the right fit. Thor has been a very reliable resource provider and we definitely recommend their services. (Karl Storz Endoscopy)

Sr. HP9000 UNIX Administrator & Other IT Professionals 

Our company had only two Directors on staff in the IT department. We needed to hire 30 plus people, a combination of regular hires and contractors to quickly get the IT department up and running live. We would lose $12-14 million in revenues each month if the systems were not up and running “”live””. With Thor’s methodology, we were able to staff our core internal group of 13-15 people and add an additional 10-15 contractors to do skill transfers. The positions ranged from PeopleSoft Project Manager, Sr. Financial Analyst, Sr. HP9000 UNIX Administrator Sybase/Oracle DBA’s, PowerBuilder Programmer Analyst, Sr. Security Architect to Network Support Analyst and PC Helpdesk. Our organization has been very impressed with Thor’s quick response with high quality candidates. The Thor’s interview to hire ratio has averaged 2-3 interviews to 1 hire (regular hire) and 2 interviews to 1 hire for contractors.

We recommend THOR very highly for all of their Information Technology services. (Tone Software)
Unix Administrator 
 
A worldwide aerospace company partnered with the Thor Group over a period of several years. Over that period The Thor Group provided over 45 contractors to 15 different departments.
