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

Amy Martin

Director of Capital Formation Commercial Investors Group

I attended an online webinar that Jason and his partner hosted which was great! I learned practical and simple ways to control my expenses as a business owner and generate niche category leads very quickly. Between their consulting, online classes and recruiting services, this is a great business that delivers value! Thanks again!

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!

Irfan Balbale

Sourcing Director at JK Consultants

Tricia and Jason are Boolean experts and have done an excellent job on Training their Students Technical stuff in a fun way. After taking their webinar course, I was able to learn a lot of techniques to cut the time of my searches in half. It helped me to get more accurate results in finding Candidates and also discovering various sources to find them. Thanks, Irfan

Rick Romo

Outside Sales Consultant at Mobility Partners of Houston

I recently completed the Morgan Consulting Group eSSentials: An Intro to eSourcing course taught by Jason and Tricia Tamkin. Not only did Jason do a great job of helping his students understand the material through his teaching methods, his instruction didn’t end there. I was able to earn my MSS certification as a direct result of Jason’s willingness to help and provide consultation well after the course was over. He doesn’t just teach the concept, he helps you learn it.

Jason and Tricia had me in their “eSSentials eSourcing” course and it was a great course to take. I feel the information was given in great detail and well taught. The webinar was fun and interactive, not boring and impersonal. Professionally this information is beyond useful to finding everything I need and I am eager to take the next step with them in February in their “Advanced eSSentials.”

Mike Martin

Managing Director Cutwater Martin

The eSSentials training provides immediate returns with sourcing passive candidates for open job orders. It is an incredible value from both a time and cost perspective and the returns can be measured right away. Jason defines the word expert and provides real time help over the four week course. The course delivered way past my expectations!!!

Chanel Cantu

Want to make more money – quicker, smarter, faster and above all BETTER than your competition? This is the class to take. My mind was blown on the language and search tactics I learned in the Morgan eSSentials class….and wondered why has it taken me this long to jump on board. After four weeks (I will admit, intense) – not only did I walk away with usable, applicable information that I immediately put to use…but by class 3 I had sourced a candidate not found on traditional boards/ web pages…and had her offer letter in hand by class 4! Tricia and Jason – your ability to make it understandable, user friendly and fun goes unmatched. Thank you!

Steve Schulman CPA, MSS

Professional Recruiter at Executive Manager Placement

First of all the course on eSourcing taught by Tricia and Jason is outstanding and took my present skills in using search strings and the internet up 20 times. The recall material is outstanding and everything taught in the class is captured for future use. In addition it is an outstanding value and will have an exponential effect in time on my billings. Support even after the class is outstanding and evergreen. A foundation is in place to get help and continue to improve my skill to an even higher level. They never stop wanting to help past and current students. If your a recruiter you would be a fool not to take this as well as other training classes they offer!

Ellen Small

President Proctor Small Associates, LLC

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.

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.
