"I would recommend Thrive to other organisations, really simply because it works. They're head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of what the platform can do and usability, but for me, it just works.""
AboutOliver James

From technology to marketing and sales, their recruitment experts help professionals in all areas meet their perfect career match.

This is bolstered by their own talent strategy, which sees them support their people's development throughout every step of their career.
A wealth of content with nowhere to go
Oliver James’ main challenge was a unique one: Not a lack of content, but rather a wealth of high quality content with nowhere to go. Everyone on the team was really proud of the content and collateral they’d produced, but felt that their current platform was no match for its depth or complexity.
The learning experience, although detailed, was cumbersome and time consuming – and a fast-paced company like Oliver James needed something that would streamline the process in order for every single member of the team to feel informed and empowered from day one.
Bespoke content for effective learning
Oliver James partnered with Thrive – both for their platform and custom content offering – to really give their staff the kind of unique, effective learning they deserved. The implementation process went off without a hitch with the help of their Implementation Specialist, Project Manager and the team at Thrive Custom Content. Thrive Support is available 24/7, so Oliver James knew they were in safe hands.
Nothing was impossible for Thrive Custom Content. They perfectly understood Oliver James’ vision, were able to assess it on a granular level, and articulate it back to the team while guiding them through every step of the process. They made sure that Oliver James’ bespoke learning content was unique and impactful, and that it would translate into the outcomes they were aiming for.
Unlocking the vault
Both the Thrive Platform and Custom Content teams were able to turn Oliver James’ vision into a reality within a short time-frame. Upon launch, Oliver James aptly named their new internal platform “The OJ Vault” for its ability to provide the valuable knowledge that they needed, exactly when they needed it. In this treasure chest, they’ve found the exact prize they were looking for: A self-led learning culture.
Thanks in part to Thrive’s intuitive and easy-to-use interface, the staff of Oliver James are taking learning into their own hands, and logging into the platform for knowledge as opposed to leaning on managers to help them. Staff rely on this resource on a daily basis, and it’s even helped some of them close critical business deals.
