Recruitment Process

Thompson Recruiting Solutions provides retained full cycle recruitment and consulting services across all industry sectors and function levels, with a focus on expertise and cultural fit. A candidate must not only look good on paper, but also possess the right behaviours that align with your company’s culture. Taking the time to understand your company’s unique culture at the onset of the search is critical to our success.

We create an ideal process that is tailored to attract the right candidates on every search. High performers are typically not seeking opportunities and are in high demand, therefore it is imperative that we use a creative and customized approach in our recruitment efforts. When recruiting becomes a formula the process turns into a transaction, and transactional recruiting does not attract high performers.

Our exhaustive and thorough approach to finding the perfect candidate starts with extensive research to identify pertinent talent and relevant industry information. What sets us apart from our competitors is that we recognize that the best recruiters wear multiple hats, with the “sales” hat being of great significance. Recruiters are salespeople who sell awesome opportunities, and delivering a compelling sales pitch is key. The best of the best are gainfully employed. At Thompson Recruiting Solutions, we possess the skills (the art of persuasion, professional persistence, problem solving and communication) to capture a potential candidate’s attention and hook them on to wanting to learn more.

Partnering with our client to create a robust and intriguing position profile is also important, as it serves many purposes. Our qualifying and interview process is methodical and transparent. We genuinely take the time to understand every candidate's story and “how” and “why” they got to where they are today. Our investigative and comprehensive approach to understanding candidates' and clients' needs promotes the best fit on both ends.

Training& Development

All recruiters have their own unique traits, and these traits need to be continuously nurtured and fine tuned. A recruiter who possesses a culmination of carefully built skills, typically acquired through experience in the field, still needs to ensure that they are meticulously honed to deliver skillfully. The recruiting landscape is constantly shifting. Disruptive technology, targeted advertising and data driven models are just some of the things that have created an impact. It is important for recruiters to ensure their techniques are leading edge and that they are using creative strategies to unveil the best talent available.

At Thompson Recruiting Solutions, we will create a customized training & development program that will elevate the skills and capabilities of your recruitment team. Together, we can build an executive search practice within your recruitment department and we will teach you our proven tricks of the trade. Whether it is a seminar on brushing up on existing skills or learning new and unique best-in-class techniques, we can work together to create a training program that is tailored to your needs.
