"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."

“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.”

“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.”
