PROMISE

Our Process

Meeting with you and your team to understand your needs, mission, goals and strategies.

Extensive consulting with you to craft and confirm a precise position description and a summary of the technical and behavioural attributes which the best fit candidates should possess.

Developing a plan of action for the search incorporating our proprietary database of candidates, as well as exhaustive research and referral methods.

Implementing a screening process encompassing an analysis of candidates, previous job performance, examination of education/training, and consultation with references.

Presenting successful candidates to you and your team. First, through a verbal discussion of the attributes of the candidates relative to the position requirements and then by way of their resume.

Maintaining communication with you at regular intervals throughout the entirety of our involvement. This contact occurs not only before the search has begun and during its progression, but is sustained, with your cooperation, following the placement of the candidate.

“Be certain of your mission, but be prepared to constantly grow. Work hard, very hard.
Be forever curious, persistent and gracious. When people let you into their lives, realize that it is a gift.”

- Michele McNally

Foundational Principles

Diversity strengthens teams, but achieving it requires action. It takes time and effort to ensure a diverse and inclusive range of exceptional candidates is presented to our clients. We always take that time because we know it's worth the effort.

Diversity

Respect, advocacy and coaching are our touchstones. Our commitment to this level of candidate care amplifies our clients' brands and recruitment power.

Care

Our family motto is also our corporate one. “Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest. Until the good is better, and the better is best.” We believe that even after 40 years, old dogs CAN always learn new tricks.

Thorek/Scott has been great to work with. They have found compelling candidates that we didn’t have access to through other channels. They take time to understand the nature of roles and apply a focused approach, casting a wide net to present a strong slate of candidates. Thorek/Scott is also very constructive in transitioning candidates to full time hires who have thrived in their new roles on our teams.

When your company is experiencing tremendous growth, it’s critical to partner with the right firm to help you attract the best talent. We have developed a strong partnership with Thorek/Scott due to their excellent pulse on the business community and their ability to connect and engage with top talent. Thorek/Scott is highly responsive and takes the time to truly understand the qualities we seek so that we find individuals who compliment our culture as well as have the right technical skill set.
