“Alex Torpey and Rethink Local have successfully supported the Town of Waterville Valley through two critical recruitment efforts this past year: the search for a new Town Manager and the hiring of key personnel for our Wastewater Treatment Facility, including a Superintendent. Their organized, thoughtful, and professional approach not only resulted in multiple successful hires, but also ensured that Town decision makers were well-informed and engaged at every step of the process.”

“Rethink Local provided essential support to Town of Hartford in managing the logistics of our Town Manager search and hiring process. Alex’s approach was thoughtful, creative, and led to meaningful insights about how top candidates would perform in the Town Manager role. By asking candidates to engage with real challenges the Selectboard is currently grappling with, the process was grounded in reality in a helpful way. Alex provided a supportive structure that allowed the Selectboard to focus its energy on making the best possible decision for the Town.”

“Alex did an outstanding job as our Interim Village Manager. He brought immediate stability to all village operations during a critical transition period keeping essential services running seamlessly. He built trust through clear communication, active listening and fostering open dialogue always providing the Board with clear, transparent and timely updates.”

“As Interim Municipal Manager, Alex brought a level of clarity, professionalism, and forward momentum that made an immediate impact on our municipality. In just a few short months, he identified and offered solutions to challenges that had remained unresolved for years. His leadership provided clear guidance, practical solutions, and a respectful, direct approach that empowered staff and strengthened our work environment.”

“I was very pleased with the compensation study update Rethink Local completed for the Town of Enfield last year. The data was very relevant and completed in a very timely manner. The Town was able to use the data to compare and ensure fair wages for our DPW staff.”
