In 2014 we built our first technology to create a better search experience for our clients.  The cloud-based software made us more transparent, collaborative partners to our clients, and to each other, and searches started closing faster.  Clients noticed and the software quickly caught on. Just one year later, it was spun out as the flagship product for Thrive TRM, a now independent SaaS company for all recruiting firms, investment firms, and enterprises.  Learn more at thrivetrm.com

We saw an opportunity to help companies make restructuring decisions based on objective data by creating a predictive technology that uncovers employees with leadership abilities and a strong culture fit.  With the use of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and machine learning, we provide data-driven insights to automatically rank employees’ leadership potential.  Armed with this knowledge, our clients can implement succession plans and people investments  based on leadership potential and begin developing future leaders.

We saw a gap in the current available options for executive hiring that support diversity.  We created a digital platform supported by experienced search professionals designed to attract the best candidates. By looking beyond traditional networks, building key partnerships and making executive search accessible for all qualified executives and companies, AboveBoard members gain access to hundreds of opportunities at some of the world’s most innovative companies.
