Boutique executive search and recruiting

Hard-to-fill leadership roles need more than keyword matching.

Jefferson Hart helps organizations find technology, accounting, finance, data, and software talent for roles where fit, judgment, and trust matter.

Led by Rob Thorp, the firm brings more than 30 years of practical experience across information technology and accounting. The work is direct, relationship-driven, and grounded in understanding what clients need before presenting candidates.

30+ years

Experience across IT, accounting, recruiting, and client advisory work.

Focused search for roles where the right person is not sitting in a stack of resumes.

Direct access

Clients work with the person who understands the mandate, market, and tradeoffs.

About

Experienced search support with a personal operating style.

Jefferson Hart was built for organizations that need targeted recruiting help without the noise of a large firm process. The firm supports permanent and temporary talent needs across technical and financial functions.

The value comes from practical pattern recognition. Rob has worked with leaders, teams, and candidates long enough to know that credentials alone rarely solve the problem. The right hire needs capability, timing, trust, and fit with the environment.
