In 2015, Thor Equities—a real estate leader with a multi- billion-dollar portfolio that includes commercial, industrial, residential, retail, hotel and mixed-use assets—urgently needed to ll several open roles. They were seeking an external recruiting rm that would take the time to listen to their needs, understand the company culture and leverage innovative strategies to find the best talent.

After bringing on Genuine Search Group on the basis of their leadership team’s sterling reputation in the real estate industry, Thor’s Human Resources team was struck by how GSG operated with a sense of urgency for each new role. They also appreciated GSG’s communicativeness and personalized approach, which always made them feel like the top priority.

“We trust Genuine Search Group for our hiring needs because of their detailed vetting process and the quality of the candidates they present,” said Ashley Osterrieder, Director of Human Resources at Thor Equities. “They personally meet the candidates, putting them through a rigorous interview before sending them to us.”

Based on GSG’s strong track record of placing high- performing employees, Thor Equities expanded the partnership to include searches in every area of their business, including capital markets, accounting, asset management and acquisitions.

“GSG is a trusted partner with a wealth of industry expertise and an extensive network of top talent,” said Melissa Gliatta, COO of Thor Equities.

ACCESS TO SENIOR-LEVEL TALENT: Key leadership positions filled by GSG include Thor’s VP of Acquisitions, Chief of Staff, VP of Capital Markets, Head of HR and Director of Asset Management. “We’ve been able to leverage [GSG’s] support as a one-stop-shop for talent,” Osterrieder said.

REDUCTIONS IN TIME-TO-HIRE: For the 25 full-time employees they’ve placed, GSG has driven significant improvements in time-to-hire. Thor is typically able to meet with qualified, vetted candidates within 24 to 48 hours of sharing the job description.
