In our weekly blog series, we sit down each week with a different Thorite to get to know the people behind the scenes at Thor. From their career journeys to personal stories, this series will give you an inside look at the individuals who make our team so unique. This week, we have Charlotte White, one of our Talent Acquisition Specialists.

1. What do you do at Thor?

I work in Talent Acquisition, where I focus on helping hire the best people to join our team. It’s incredibly rewarding to connect with candidates who share our values and contribute to our dynamic work culture.

 

2. What’s something you’re particularly proud of from your time at Thor so far?

I’m especially proud of seeing our consultants thrive in their roles. For instance, Jack Walsh recently achieved recognition as one of our top performers, earning a spot on the Achievers Trip and significantly boosting his earnings. Watching his growth and success is a testament to the supportive environment we have created at Thor.


3. What three skills are essential for success in your role?

To succeed in Talent Acquisition, three skills stand out: resilience, relationship building, and great communication. Resilience is crucial for navigating the ups and downs of recruitment. Building strong relationships helps me connect with candidates and understand their motivations. Finally, excellent communication ensures that I effectively convey our company’s vision and values to potential hires.


4. What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned, in your career so far?

One key lesson I’ve learned is that tough times are inevitable, but how we handle them defines our success. It's essential to ride out the challenges and remain focused on long-term goals. Learning to cope with rejection is part of the process, and it has made me stronger in my role.


5. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

As a child, I wanted to work with animals, perhaps for the RSPCA, where I could give them all my love and help them find caring homes. My passion for animals has always been a significant part of who I am.
 

6. What’s one thing on your bucket list?

Skydiving is on my bucket list. I think it would be an exciting way to step out of my comfort zone.

 

7. If you could have dinner with any person, past or present, who would it be and why?

I would love to have dinner with relatives I've never met. Learning more about my family history and the stories that shaped them would be incredibly meaningful to me.

 

8. If you could instantly master one skill, what would it be?

A skill I'd love to master would be to speak another language. I believe it opens up new cultures and opportunities for connection, which I value deeply.

 

9. What’s a surprising fact about you?

A surprising fact about me is that I can recite the alphabet backward! It’s a fun party trick that always catches people off guard.
