Our Story: Built by Founders, for Founders
Thankz began 13 years ago as a remote-first US tech company. From the start, we hired globally — not as a trend, but out of necessity.
Over the years, we mastered remote hiring, building high-performing teams across borders. That experience shaped Thankz: a recruitment service built by business owners, for business owners.

My previous experience now allows me to offer this wealth of hands-on experience to our clients at Thankz.
