ThorTech continually exceeded expectations, their technical vetting process is intensive – but even more importantly they invest a lot of time with their clients throughout the process to deeply understand your culture and the types of people who will thrive on the team. This is what sets them apart from other recruiters I’ve worked with in the past.”

Problem 

A longstanding client of ThorTech’s in the fintech space needed to scale its existing development team to continue providing innovative solutions in the capital market space but did not have the technical recruiting expertise to find the right candidates. They were in need of a Senior Java Engineer with an established fintech background to add to their team. While technical skills and industry experience were extremely important to our client, culture fit was just as important. The client was looking for an engineer who would be able to contribute technically, but also continue to grow the heavily collaborative, learning-focused culture that their engineering team thrives on.

Solution 

ThorTech sat down with the client to review the technical requirements as well as get a deep understanding of the client’s culture, mission, and values to ensure we were aligned with the kind of candidates who would excel in this role. ThorTech sourced, recruited, and placed the role in one of the most challenging hiring markets for technology in recent years. (2021)

Bringing in ThorTech’s expert recruiting team allowed the client to find the perfect candidate for their role with minimal interruption to the team so that they could continue to focus efforts on building out their suite of fixed-income market solutions. ThorTech’s intense technical vetting process results in a 90% conversion-to-hire rate across all roles, freeing up our clients’ time to focus on revenue-generating activities.
