Mentorship in Motion: How TAM Solutions Embraces Leadership Through Shared Growth

At TAM Solutions, we believe that great teams are built not just through strategy and execution, but through something far more human: mentorship. In a fast-paced, ever-evolving industry like talent acquisition, the ability to lift each other up, share experiences, and grow together is what truly sets us apart.

Mentorship at TAM isn’t a formal structure — it’s a mindset. It’s how we lead, learn, and lean on one another as we navigate new roles, unfamiliar challenges, and major milestones. And as we celebrate the stories of our team, we’re reminded of the deep impact mentorship can have—not just on performance, but on confidence, career development, and culture.

Thiago & Fer: From Uncertainty to Ownership

Being new in any industry is daunting. For Thiago Nogues, stepping into the world of Talent Acquisition was filled with unknowns: tools, systems, workflows, and a whirlwind of terminology. But what could have been overwhelming quickly transformed into opportunity thanks to a leader who chose to guide with empathy and purpose.

Under the mentorship of Fer Gago, Thiago found more than answers. He found a mentor who believed in his potential and invested in his growth. Through daily check-ins, real-time coaching, and patient knowledge sharing, Fer helped Thiago develop the independence and confidence he needed to thrive.

“TAM Solutions was my first opportunity in the industry. It was scary at first… Fortunately, I was allocated to a project with Fernando… he not only taught me what to do in the moment, but also gave me the tools I needed to work independently,” Thiago shared.

The impact of this mentorship has been mutual. As Thiago gained ground and celebrated wins—like making his first hire in under two months—Fer gained new perspectives on onboarding and leadership.

"I see mentorship as not just about teaching someone how to do things, but about growing together. Every conversation I had with Thiago was a chance to learn something new, and every challenge we faced became a shared win."

Together, they streamlined processes and created a supportive environment where growth wasn’t just encouraged, it was inevitable. This is what mentorship looks like in action: not just guiding, but empowering.

Marina & Cande: Discovering Potential Beyond the Resume

Mentorship at TAM also means seeing possibilities where others might not. That’s exactly what happened when Marina chose to mentor someone outside the traditional recruiting background—Candela, a translator ready for a career shift.

With Marina’s guidance, Cande dove into the world of full-cycle recruiting. From sourcing strategies to candidate engagement, she quickly found her rhythm—especially in the unique challenges of blue-collar hiring. What could have felt like a leap became a launch.

“Having someone experienced and trustworthy by my side meant I could ask all the questions I needed without hesitation,” Cande explained. “Instead of second-guessing myself, I could focus on learning, improving, and delivering results.”

Today, Candela isn’t just adapting, she’s owning the process. Her story is a testament to what happens when we bet on potential, not just credentials. What’s equally inspiring is what Marina took away from the experience. Mentoring Candela gave her a fresh perspective on the fundamentals of recruitment—reminding her how important it is to explain the “why” behind every step. It reinforced the values of clear communication and continuous learning—on both sides.

"Candela brought fresh energy and asked great questions—it reminded me why I love what I do.”

Why Mentorship Matters

In both stories, the power of mentorship is clear: it’s about more than teaching—it’s about unlocking, believing, and building.

✔️ It unlocks hidden potential.

At TAM Solutions, mentorship is part of how we lead with intention. We celebrate both our mentors—who give their time, insight, and support—and our mentees, whose courage to grow is a constant inspiration.
