Why Thompson Dunn?

We have a track record of 15 years industry experience in helping organisations to appoint people at Board level through to graduate recruits. You can harness our expertise in the assessment of individuals by working with us on your organisation’s structure and who will be the best fit for a particular role.

Best fitYou want the peace of mind and reassurance that trusted advisors can give you a thorough, comprehensive yet speedy answer to the question….Have I got the right person?

We make it our business to understand your business and we will go ‘all out’ to do this, particularly with regard to cultural fit across international boundaries where relevant. We have worked with large multinational companies such as ICI, Reuters, DHL, Dupont, Motorola and many others during our 15 year history.

When you are recruiting externally or looking at fast tracking high performers, we realise that your recruitment or promotion activity is a strategic business investment and we help you to minimise the risks, adding value by maximising returns on your expenditure. Making mistakes when replacing people is costly and inefficient for your business. We shorten and focus this process by using our experience and knowledge of human behaviour to assist you. We lighten your load and make the process speedy, accurate and more enjoyable.

How do we do this?

Firstly we get to know you and your organisation. We listen to your vision, objectives and priorities. That way our selection recommendations are always aligned to your overall business strategy and plans.

We are flexible in our approach and can assess your recruitment requirements through the analysis of teams or audit whole units of the organisation. We can work with you to develop competencies for specific roles or work to pre-defined job descriptions.

Our experience in the use and interpretation of a broad range of personality and ability measures means that we can design a process for your organization that draws from it the information you need to know about candidates.  These tools and skills go beyond what can be learned from the interview process alone.

It is because we are objective outsiders that we can add maximum value. We have nothing to gain from the outcome of the exercise other than our fee. In other words we bring our neutrality to your judgement. Often organisations recruit ‘to type’. We are all inclined to appoint those people with whom we feel the most comfortable. It may be that what is required is someone who represents the ‘grit in the oyster’ who will ask the right questions and challenge conventional thinking in order that the organisation moves forward and becomes more competitive. We can advise you as to precisely what you need from an appointment and how best you can get it.

During the recruitment and selection process we build up a comprehensive and valid picture of an individual (or group) and incorporate this knowledge into the whole strategic picture – at all times working to your requirements.  We can work from individual role descriptions, competency frameworks or corporate culture guidelines

Our strength is that we are passionate about understanding you and your company’s unique characteristics and needs. By focusing our experience and tools in this way the right people fit will be achieved.

Whether your company is a large multinational or a privately owned family business, we can and will help you achieve your recruitment fast.
