"Thunderclap was a great partner in our search for a business development leader. They were thoughtful and transparent throughout the search and took time to understand our organization at a very deep and authentic level. Never once did it feel like a rehash of candidates who tick boxes on paper. Each candidate they presented was thoroughly vetted to our needs and our organization which made the entire process a pleasure. I look forward to working with Thunderclap on future hires."
Director of Talent, New Business Leader search, mid-sized agency
“My search was for a new business leader at a mid-sized regional agency. While candidates are open to relocating to that market, it’s not on everyone’s radar screen. Steve Congdon at Thunderclap gave me a terrific candidate that the agency loved. She’s now on their Executive Leadership Committee.”
President, leading southeast US recruiting firm
“We gave Thunderclap a search for a Senior AE that needed agriculture experience, which is hard to find. And they delivered."
Senior Recruiter, regional office, global agency
“I’ve given Thunderclap several recruiting assignments over the years across three departments: account management, planning and new business. It’s a pleasure working with them. They know our industry and our agency very well. Their candidates fit our requirements and I know they’re a cultural fit when they come from Steve's firm.”
Managing Director, multiple searches, global network agency
“The agency was looking to hire a new Group Account Director that was going to be on a plane every week. Steve found just the right professional for this Top Ten Holding Company Account. I had several great options and they were well prepared.”
Recruiter, Group Account Director search, global holding company agency
"After briefing Steve on what was needed, his company was able to quickly source several well qualified candidates that matched the jobs specs. Thunderclap screened them and submitted the best of the pack. One was hired and continues to be one of our top performers. Couldn't be more pleased with Thunderclap's quick response, professionalism and [I] look forward to working together again."
