ABOUT US

Image

LOCAL EXPERTS, GLOBAL REACH

We’re human before technical because great partnerships start with understanding people, not just profiles.

Stakes-aware and confidently consultative, we work alongside our clients to solve the problems that matter most.

We focus on outcomes over optics: problem-focused, never process-proud.

Our Values

Our values guide how we work and how we deliver. We believe in collaboration, high standards, and a relentless drive for results. By staying ambitious, resilient, and growth-focused, we build strong relationships and deliver lasting impact.

Image

WINNING
TOGETHER

We challenge the status quo through true partnership. Trust isn’t given; it’s earned by delivering on our promises. We’re in this together, pushing boundaries and achieving what others say can’t be done. When we succeed, everyone wins. That’s how we change the game.

Image

Striving for
excellence

We refuse to accept average. Relentless in our pursuit of outstanding results, we push past barriers that stop others. Our determination turns impossible challenges into breakthrough moments. We’re not just filling roles, we’re securing the talent that will shape tomorrow’s world.
Image

Growth
mindset

We thrive on disruption. While others fear change, we embrace it. Always learning, constantly evolving, we operate where innovation happens. We don’t just follow industry trends, we help create them. Our adaptability keeps us sharp, relevant, and ready for whatever comes next.

THE THOR JOURNEY

Born in Clapham

Focused on sourcing the best talent for the oil industry in Scandinavia, building a reputation for specialist headhunting in hard-to-fill roles.

#ThorOnTour

After our first successful year of business growth, we celebrated with trips to Verbier and Ibiza - starting a tradition of biannual trips to recognise our success.

Expanded Expertise

We didn’t let the oil crash slow us down, and we branched out to establish our 3 brands - Thor Life Sciences, Thor FinTec and Thor Infrastructure.

Thor’s a great place to work

But don’t just take our word for it - we were awarded with a “Great Place to Work” certification. It was also the year we established our in-house marketing team.

OUR 5 STEP PROCESS

01

DISCOVER

We earn our seat at your table through rigour, not charm. We diagnose what you truly need before we prescribe, then we deliver it. No transactional nonsense. This is a partnership that respects your ambition and protects your reputation.

02

STRATEGISE

Using our deep sector expertise and global reach, we create a tailored recruitment strategy aligned to your goals. Whether you’re scaling fast or hiring for specialist, mission-critical roles, we discover the best route to market and ensure we develop a plan that will deliver on your ambitions.

03

SOURCE

We refuse to play the volume game. Through proactive search, targeted outreach, and our international talent networks, we identify high-calibre candidates who may not be actively looking, but are exactly what your business needs. We understand the technical depth because we live in these worlds. This is where cutting-edge meets human insight, and where we thrive.

04

CONSULT

We refuse to accept average. We bring relationships, insight and accountability where algorithms fail. Relentless in our pursuit of outstanding results, we push past barriers that stop others. This is specialist recruitment, re-imagined. We challenge when necessary, and defend our process because we know it works. Confident, not arrogant.

05

CONTINUITY

We stay involved. Most recruiters disappear after the placement, transaction done, fee collected. That’s where hiring start going wrong.

For us, aftercare is mission critical, it creates continuity, solves problems early, and makes sure the hire actually works. Because in the environments we support, failure isn’t an option.

JOIN Our
JOURNEY

We’re building something you’ll be proud to be part of. Here, your industry knowledge matters more than recruitment playbooks.

You’ll work consultatively, think strategically, and play a vital role in the success of projects that shape societies.
