In February, Toro Group celebrates 23 years since its foundation. This is a mature age for a business that makes the company recognizable and well established among customers.

For more than 20 years, Toro Groups has been providing business solutions with a human face in four main areas – recruitment, talent assessment and development, consulting services and HR outsourcing.

On company’s birthday, we talk to its founder and Managing Director – Irena Petrova – about Toro Group’s successes, challenges and goals.

What makes an HR consulting company successful on Bulgarian market and what helps it to be one of the serious business partners for more than two decades?

The two things that contribute to the success are, on the one hand, the team, and on the other hand, the solid and long-lasting relationships with our clients. It is the team that provides the high level of service. Over the years, we have tried to upgrade the solutions we offer, we develop with the market and meet the trends of service demand. The partnership with the companies and the long-term relationships help us to more effectively analyze the needs of our clients and to offer the best possible solutions.

Is there a difference in measuring success 10 years ago and now, and if so, what does it consist of?

There should be no difference because we provide solutions addressing client’s challenges. And we measure success in satisfied clients.

What was 2022 like for Toro Group?

Challenging. But also successful. Part of the business is project based and it is difficult to predict occupancy, workload and profitability. Despite the challenges, the year ended successfully.

What are the company’s goals for 2023?

Given the economic and geopolitical situation, the goals cannot be too ambitious, but we do not give up on following the high standards we have set for ourselves and looking for growth in the results of the previous year.

Today is Toro Group’s birthday. What do you wish for?

May we all be healthy, motivated and committed to the challenge of being partners and consultants in a dynamic reality.
