About Jason Thibeault
Jason grew up in a log cabin in the woods with a fireplace for heat and no paved roads. No cable TV either. His entertainment was a Commodore VIC-20, a stack of books, and whatever he could draw, take apart, or build. (Tinkering was a thing!) That early mix of isolation, curiosity, and rebuilding never left.
He started college aiming for space. Physics pivoted into philosophy, where his natural talent for logic led him to begin teaching it while still a student. Physics, philosophy, psychology all show the same probing to understand..
As an officer, Jason became a figurative rocket in what was then Air Force Space Command. Perfect scores in all areas led to rapid advancement and ultimately an offer to teach philosophy at the Academy. Civilian life was just as rapid, and he rose from night shift supervisor up four levels to plant manager in four years.
He eventually brought that same systems mindset into recruiting, training, speaking, and coaching. His career became less about titles and more about helping people think more clearly, make better decisions, and build stronger businesses and better, happier lives.
Jason’s defining trait is the one that started in that cabin: relentless curiosity. He believes life gets easier, and more interesting, when you understand how things work — whether that’s a machine, a market, or a mind.

Enthusiastic Love from Jason's Clients
Greg Todesco Korn Ferry “Jason has a great ability to teach what he knows in a clear and concise approach. In his leadership he scanned the attendees to ensure he was not progressing too quickly, or slowly. In working with many people across many industries as a recruiter, I do not often come in contact with other people who listen first, then process what they heard and then respond. Jason does this effortlessly and effectively. If you have an opportunity to interact with Jason, as a client, candidate, student or colleague I highly recommend you do so.”
Joseph Ryan Washington Research Associates Inc “Jason’s style for recruiting is refreshing and forthright. Jason asked all the right questions and answered all the questions I had for him. From first contact to last, dealing with Jason was a real pleasure, he worked hard to get me to the next level. I appreciate Jason’s enthusiasm, hard work and professionalism.”
Sam Watterson Keir Surgical Ltd. “Jason is an expert in his field. More importantly, Jason is willing to share his expertise – and he does so in a clear, understandable way. On more than once occasion, Jason went out of his way to help me reach some of my company goals.”
Robbie Sewell Saddlebrook Associates “Jason Thibeault is a perfect complement to his partner, Tricia Tamkin, in bringing the most refreshing, captivating, intellectually stimulating training program to the recruitment industry via the comprehensive Moore eSSentials curriculum. Jason is a technical expert in sourcing and a philosophical/psychological ninja who translates human behavior into a recruitment methodology that disregards hackneyed sales techniques and defers to a more rational, enjoyable approach. I recommend Jason without reservation. You will profit greatly by being one of his students in any of the Moore programs, and I recommend them all!”
Ellen Small Proctor Small Associates “Jason is not only an expert in Sourcing Techniques, he is incredibly smart and funny! Oh, and an outstanding adult instructor. He and Tricia Tamkin provide training that leaves you understanding the content, the process and the context in search and sourcing techniques and they do it in the best possible way – FUN! Jason is quick to help and even though he is way smarter than I am, never makes me feel like a dunce when I don’t get something. He and Tricia are truly outstanding people and I’m glad to have worked with them.”
Nicole Dessain talent.imperative “Jason is a “wizard” when it comes to Boolean talent search. As a member of my Talent Scout team at CEC he frequently trained other team members to improve the entire team’s ability in this area. Jason was one of the top performers on the team due to his search background and creative way of approaching each assignment. He successfully took on some of the hardest search assignments. Jason also helped to design and execute our military vet sourcing strategy. Jason would be an asset to any sourcing team.”
Tony O'Neill Highline Outdoor Group “I’ve spent nearly a decade working with some of the strongest recruiting specialists in the industry and Jason Thibeault is by far one the foremost experts in our space. His ability to communicate cutting edge sourcing techniques along with proven recruiting processes was instrumental in helping take my business to the next level. Not only is Jason highly passionate about his work, he also is a really great person.”

Jonathan Watson Houston Public Library “I took eSourcing eSSentials with Jason. I have to say that Jason is a master educator. His dedication to both the curriculum and his students is second to none. He possesses both that golden ability in a trainer to explain seemingly complex concepts in a clear, concise manner and absolute mastery of the subject matter.”
Susan Leonard ACE OKC “Jason, I just wanted to let you know that due to the esourcing training I received from you that I found the COO of my client’s dreams! Without your techniques, I would have never uncovered this rainmaking executive. My bank account thanks you! I highly recommend Jason. His training style worked well for both the young techies in our class and the old dogs like me! What I learned has paid off unimaginably.”
Victoria Travis Travis and Associates “I have worked with Jason Thibeault as a recruiter coach for the past two years. He has contributed to the success of my company in some many ways. His greatest assets are his knowledge base of sourcing and recruiting techniques and his dry sense of humor. He has a special ability to make the difficult almost easy. In my experience this is a sure sign of mastery. He loves a challenge: thrives on it in fact. So, whatever your challenge in the recruiting arena, please consider contacting him. You will sleep better, and your business will thrive.”
John Schlegal Stonebridge Search “I was blown away by Jason’s insane knowledge of how to create lists of relevant names for searches through advanced internet research techniques. And this is all without making one cold call. Amazing! I highly recommend Jason to anyone in the search business who is struggling to consistently or quickly produce great names for their searches. This is especially for that individual that thinks they already know all of the latest and greatest techniques. Bottom line, as Jason will show you, you don’t. He does.”
Jonathan Watson Houston Public Library “I took the Moore Introduction to eSourcing with Jason. I have to say that Jason is a master educator.
