Our Candidate Experience
We Hire in a Five-Step Process
We believe in hiring the best digital marketing talent in the world. We give our candidates every opportunity to get to know us, just as we want to get to know them. Our five-step interview process includes:
1
Initial Communication by the People Operations Team
You will be introduced to the company by one of our high-powered recruiters at Thrive, who will have several communication exchanges with you to make initial assessments that determine if you’re a fit for the role.
2
Invitation To Meet Founder & CEO Matt Bowman
This is a key step in the process and is where you will join a Zoom call and be introduced to Thrive Founder and President Matt Bowman as he does a live slide presentation taking you through the history of Thrive. There is also a Q/A at the end of this presentation to ask Matt any questions you have.
3
Invitation to the Group Interview
You will join a group interview. This is what makes our interview process stand out. You will join other candidates who have been invited to interview for the same position (typically between 4-6 candidates) and meet the Thrive leadership team as they bring you through a series of questions that are done in a round-robin format so that every candidate has the opportunity to answer the same questions. At the end of the two-hour group interview, we will open it up again for you to ask the leadership team any questions.
4
Skills and Culture Fit Assessment
After the group interview, we will narrow it down to the finalists who will move to round No. 2. Depending on the role, this round might include a project or a skills assessment. You will spend a one-on-one Zoom call with the department managers, where you will get to know the team leads and supervisors you will be working with.
5
Decision and Offer (Welcome to your AMAZING future!)
After the finalists complete round No. 2, the team leads will deliberate and make a hiring decision. Collecting feedback from Thrive team members of varying levels of experience and perspectives is an integral part of how we work.

A Spirit of Collaboration
As a global company, we enjoy meeting Thrivers from across the globe and celebrating many cultural traditions together. Every year, we host a Thrive Camp where Thrivers convene in North Texas – or virtually online during the pandemic – to celebrate our achievements and amplify the joy of our work relationship.
Thrive Camp is an annual convention where we:
- Celebrate team wins and reflect on our milestones
- Discuss department updates
- Attend life skill sessions
- Participate in team-building exercises
- Engage in community service projects
- Recognize exemplary employees
- Map out goals and strategies for the year ahead
Steadfast Commitment to Community Growth
At Thrive, supporting local communities is an essential part of our business. As part of our Thrive Gives Back project, we partner with different organizations, such as Kiva, World Vision and Restore Hope, to donate a percentage of our profit and help enrich the lives of those who could use our help.
We are open to employee suggestions about what organizations and causes to support. More importantly, we encourage all Thrivers to devote volunteer time in service to their local communities.
Meet Our People Operations Team
Cindy Deuser, Director of People Operations
Hi, my name is Cindy and I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 2020, I was not looking for a job. I loved my job. And then, I received a call from Thrive Founder Matt Bowman. I was asked to participate in a group interview and I had never heard of such a crazy process and I have been in recruiting and human resources nearly all of my career. When I was offered the role, I told Matt that I was taking the job because of one reason: him! I have worked for multiple CEOs in my career, but never one like Matt Bowman. Matt runs this company through a lens of gratitude and servant leadership. The rest is history. I plan to sunset my career with Thrive. I really have found my dream job!
Lauren Holland, Digital Marketing Recruiter
Hi, my name is Lauren. I live in New Braunfels, Texas, and I’m a single mother to a sweet 8-year-old boy, Austin, who is in third grade. He is the WHY in almost everything I accomplish! Since I started at Thrive in 2018, I’ve worked in the digital marketing delivery department as a manager and now am part of the People Operations Team. The flexibility allows me to never miss a school party, performance or volunteer opportunity. The people at Thrive are unstoppable and work together with respect, gratitude and a phenomenal work ethic. I will be at Thrive for many years to come because it is truly a special company. I hope you take a moment to check out our job openings and explore what it means when we say, “Better Never Stops!’’

“I’ve been working professionally in digital marketing since 2006. I have worked with several marketing firms and partnered with many digital marketing agencies and businesses during that time. No other company has ever made me feel the same level of genuine care that Thrive has for their employees and customers. Not only do they care, but they are exceptional at what they do. Our people are as hardworking as they are kind-hearted. We have a culture that centers upon cooperation, excellence and kindness. All companies face challenges and any group of people will have their differences, but our people work hard to iron out the wrinkles in those relationships to get the results our clients deserve. If you are looking for a great place to work, surrounded by high performers who actually care, then Thrive may be for you.”
