Meet the Team

Lora Thompson

Managing Partner

I started my career as an accountant, but from a young age, I knew my true passion was helping people. While working in my last professional tax accountant role, I was placed by a recruiter and had an epiphany—I want to do what she does! After a few more years in tax, I found Robert Half, and that was the turning point. My career in staffing began, and I’ve never looked back.

With over 20 years in the industry, I bring a well-rounded perspective to staffing—I’ve been a candidate, a hiring manager, and an agency recruiter. This experience allows me to see every angle of the hiring process and provide a truly consultative approach. I believe in building genuine relationships and treating both clients and candidates with honesty and respect. My commitment is to finding the right opportunity, not just the right now opportunity, ensuring long-term success for both candidates and employers.

As a small, woman-owned business, we specialize in staffing finance, accounting, tax, audit, and human resource professionals. Beyond my work, I’m a proud mother of two teenagers, two guinea pigs, and a Goldendoodle named Tater Tot. I love the outdoors, spending time with my family and am a self-proclaimed foodie!!

Let’s connect—I’d love to help you find the right fit!

Our Story

We’re twins, and from an early age, we understood the power of being in sync. Whether it was finishing each other’s sentences or moving in perfect harmony toward a shared goal, we learned that true partnership is the foundation of success. That lesson stayed with us, shaping not just our bond as siblings but also the way we run our business.

At EMPOWER Staffing we see staffing as more than just filling positions—it’s about building relationships that last. We approach every client, candidate, and challenge with the same care and coordination we’ve honed over a lifetime. For us, it’s personal. We know that when the right people come together, aligned in purpose and step, the results aren’t just beneficial, they’re extraordinary.

Our journey as twins taught us how to listen, adapt, and anticipate needs, and we bring that same intuition and dedication to finding the perfect fit for your team. Let us partner with you to create something lasting, something that works as seamlessly as we do.
