THE THR!VE STORY

Get Sh*t Done - It's more than a mantra. It's how we work.

Founded by Daoud Edris, THR!VE emerged from a simple observation: most organisations don't have a talent problem – they have a people strategy problem.

After years in traditional recruitment, we saw the same patterns:

  • Great hires leaving within 18 months

  • Leadership pipelines running dry

  • Engagement surveys gathering dust

  • HR teams drowning in transactions

We knew there was a better way.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Boutique by Choice, Not Chance

We deliberately limit our client base. Why? Because real transformation requires deep partnership, not surface-level consulting. When you work with Thrive, you get:

  • Senior expertise on every engagement

  • Co-designed solutions you actually own

  • Honest feedback even when it's uncomfortable

  • Long-term partnership beyond project delivery

OUR APPROACH

The Four Forces Framework

Every organisation faces four fundamental people challenges. Most only address them in isolation. We integrate them into one coherent strategy:

Acquisition → Development → Engagement → Retention

It's not linear. It's interconnected. And it works.
