About Thrive (a True Company)

Thrive is a fast-growing software company based outside of Philadelphia with about a third of its employees distributed throughout the US. Our mission is to make hiring for executive leadership positions easier, faster, and more equitable. Thrive’s clients include some of the world’s largest search firms, venture capital/private equity firms, and corporate executive recruitment teams including Starbucks, NEA, and Boyden.

Executive hiring is unlike typical staffing and recruiting. Most executives are passive candidates, meaning they don't apply for positions. They are commonly found through well-maintained networks and relationships. Unfortunately, most popular recruiting tools and CRMs don’t work well for this use case. Enter Thrive, purpose-built software for executive recruiting and leadership talent management. We are aggressively investing in building disruptive solutions that help talent professionals find the best leaders, build curated talent networks, and place executives.

Thrive was born out of True, one of the fastest-growing organizations in the talent advisory space. 

True is a global platform of companies that optimizes value creation by placing executive talent, developing business leaders, creating diverse and inclusive networks, and using innovative technology to advance executive talent priorities. With offices in North America, EMEA, & APAC, True’s team of industry and functional experts leverage their deep networks to connect companies with leading talent to transform businesses and industries.
