Terry Terhark believes so passionately in
his mantra, “Do the right thing and good
things will happen,” that he named his
company after it.
The RightThing Inc. provides recruitment
process outsourcing, providing the staffing
function for its clients by finding the best candidates for full-time positions with the clients.
Terhark has built the foundation of the
company on its core values: flexibility, adaptability, commitment to each other, accountability, empowerment and trust, and expects
these values to be apparent in interactions
with both clients and employees.
Living these values has led to tremendous
growth in the past five years, allowing The
RightThing to grow into a company with 90
clients, including Wal-Mart and Coca-Cola. Terhark also attributes his success to
a tremendous need for talent as more people leave the work force than join it, outsourcing becoming more accepted and
cost-effective, and his company’s solid reputation. He also credits his relationship with
his employees to an organization that has
few managers and empowers all employees
to make decisions.
As his company continues to grow, Terhark
envisions global expansion. Many of his
clients do business globally and have staffing
needs worldwide. To accomplish that, he is
seeking out equity investors capable of helping him grow The RightThing. His biggest
challenge in growing is staying connected to
his employees and maintaining a small-company feel, and he works hard to achieve
that by holding small group meetings and
addressing employee concerns.
