Mills Thomas

Mills Thomas is a woman-owned professional search firm based in Sykesville, Maryland, founded and led by Lauren Asghari with James Hoffman as Search Engagement Lead. The company was created to provide direct hiring solutions after its sister company, Alderson Loop (which specialises in consulting and project staffing), began receiving requests for permanent placements that went beyond their core services.

Mills Thomas specialises in identifying technology, finance, civil engineering, creative, sales, and business operations talent at senior levels. The company understands that the right hire requires deep understanding of organisational nuance and team dynamics. Mills Thomas takes a serious approach to understanding client requirements, examining team environment, and identifying the skills necessary for optimal job performance before engaging the marketplace. The firm then conducts careful vetting of candidates, maintaining high standards for quality.

The company has been recognised in the Baltimore Business Journal's list of The Largest Professional Search Firms in Greater Baltimore, with recognition based on Baltimore-area placements. Mills Thomas maintains a commitment to providing a great human experience, both for clients seeking talent and for candidates in transition.
