While most search firms have their roots in either human resources (HR) or in a particular business function, such as accounting or engineering, Torch Group evolved from a marketing consultancy to one of the nation's premier providers of marketing, sales, communications, and product management talent.
Firms in the former group (HR) often have a generalist practice, whereas firms in the latter group (business function) frequently confine their practice areas to the functional spheres out of which they arose. Some firms, however, have a foothold in both HR and one or more functional areas or industries, and draw on the diversity of their experience to better serve a broad range of clients in an array of business functions and sectors.

I worked closely with the Torch group in 2018. They are a pleasure to work with as an executive looking for my next opportunity. They were very thorough and extremely responsive. I have worked with numerous executive placement firms and The Torch Group is unique in their approach.
I not only worked closely with Karen but developed working relationships with both Ron and Michelle Torch.
I highly recommend The Torch Group!

So I get to provide feedback on Torch Group from the candidate perspective. Almost all of my positions I have accepted have been through recruiting firms, so I like to think I know what makes a good or a great firm, and I consider Torch Group to be a GREAT firm for 3 reasons. One, they are extremely thorough. I wish I had a nickel for every time a recruiting firm called me up to tell me they have this "great opportunity" for me, when in fact all they had done was typed in a couple of key words into LinkedIn, my name came up in the search, and without even reading my resume, just called me to see
