About Thor Companies

Established back in 2012 with the aim to be a vibrant and dynamic recruitment company who genuinely understands their clients and gives back to their employees, we have since grown into a recognised global brand. With offices located in London and New York, our skilled consultants work in partnership with some of the world’s most successful companies in the mission critical sectors, with our vertical market specialisms being in Engineering, Life Sciences, and Technology.

Our team consists of diverse, determined, and resilient individuals, to whom we provide the tools and training they need to perform at their peak. They embody Thor's growth mindset and embrace a culture of lifelong learning, ensuring that we continually evolve to meet the changing needs of both our clients and candidates

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Talent Acquisition Lead to spearhead the Internal TA function here at Thor.

If you feel like your influence and impact is being stunted in your current recruitment company, and you want more of a say in the WHO and HOW of hiring in the company that you represent, we should have a discussion about how the TA Lead position at Thor could be good for you…
