Home/Expertise, our desks
Our expertise · by desk

Every desk, run by a specialist.

If you're hiring or job-seeking, these are the desks we currently operate, each run by a specialist who lives and breathes it. We're a network of specialists, not a firm with departments, and the map keeps growing as new partners join and bring their own.

These desks are indicative of what a Thatcher Associates desk looks like, not a fixed list. Your specialism and our systems could make the next one yours.

No desks match that yet. Clear a filter, or if you're a recruiter, the desk you'd bring could be the next one we open.
Don't see your field?

That's not a gap. It's an opening.

Every desk here began as one specialist who joined and built it. If we don't cover your market yet, it's because the right person hasn't brought it, and our platform makes almost any niche possible, anywhere.
