- Driven by a dedication to our craft, we continuously refine our best practices and data quality to deliver an exceptional experience for both internal stakeholders and candidates, supported by precise, reliable reporting.
- As a globally distributed team, we operate across various time zones, yet most of us overlap for collaboration and meetings between 7am-12pm PST, bringing flexibility and resilience to our work routines.
- All team members, regardless of location, maintain at least a 4-hour overlap with PST business hours to enable real-time collaboration and drive solutions effectively across the team.

- Within 48 hours of receiving initial candidate feedback, you refine search criteria based on the hiring team’s insights, then, within 24 hours, create A/B outreach messaging to engage targeted profiles and aim to source 100 candidates within the first week.
- Two weeks after the initial outreach, you analyze sourcing data to identify what is and isn’t driving conversions. You share your insights and recommendations with the hiring team to refine and optimize the outreach strategy, and you continue to monitor and adjust the approach until the position is filled.

That said, TRM may not be the right fit for everyone. If you're optimizing for work life balance, we encourage you to:
- Ask your interviewers how they personally approach balance within their teams, and
- Reflect on whether this is the right season in your life to join a high-velocity environment.
- Be honest with yourself about what energizes you—and what drains you
We’re upfront about this because we want every new team member to thrive—not just survive.

- Jumping online after hours to support urgent government requests tracing ransomware payments.
- Delivering actionable insights during terrorist financing investigations.
- Collaborating across time zones in real time during a major global hack.
