about us

thomas, vielhauer & associates, inc. (tva) was founded in 1993 with a vision to be different. After working with traditional retained search firms we wanted to create a model and team that worked closely with human resources and hiring supervisors to find the best talent in the world.

Our partners have a combined experience of 40 years. We pride ourselves on working with a select number of clients in each industry so we can truly be an extension of your staff, thoroughly know your culture and recruit with few hands-off limits. The result is the delivery of the best possible talent to fit into your organization structure and culture today and become your leaders for tomorrow. Our track record of placements who have moved to SVP/VP levels is consistent.

It was our vision to build a search firm that is high touch, flexible and with a regular flow of weekly updates on progress to our clients. In addition, we built a unique model of search and encourage our clients to hire multiple candidates at no additional cost. The model is responsive to client needs and encourages both cost savings and valued partnerships of both clients and candidates.

Today, we support “Best Practices Clients” including Levi Strauss & Company, Longs Drug Stores, Wal-Mart, Title Nine, Kaiser Permanente, Stanford University and others. Under Emmaly & Sue’s leadership and creative energy, tva has placed individuals from SVP’s to professional staff level. The customer list represents multiple industries, and reflects tva’s focus on working for companies whose culture places a high value on employees, customers and shareholders. We thoroughly enjoy our work and our commitment to excellence delivers the best candidates.
