Shane, Credit Assessor

If you ask anyone what Shane Thompson is known for, they’ll probably tell you something that relates to his generous spirit and willingness to share. Whether that means sharing his plentiful homegrown veggies, his home cooking, or his breadth and depth of industry knowledge and experience. Shane is a real team player and an asset to have at Tic:Toc. We asked Shane to share one more thing with us: an inside look at his time at Tic:Toc, and his journey to get here.

What was it like to apply for the role?

From the outset the process was seamless, the HR team were very efficient and kept me informed throughout. The interview process was structured and the interviewers made me feel at ease. Once the offer of employment was made, all the background checks were completed very quickly.

What are your thoughts on Tic:Toc’s company values?

Tic:Toc has four very relevant values that you own as an employee, and the one that resonates the most with me is “We make time to be human”.​​ Tic:Toc ensures that its people interact with each other, not just in a day-to-day employment capacity, but in a social way as well. We are not a number and we are not treated like one...we are "human".

What do you find most rewarding about your role?

Helping everyday people realise their dream of homeownership as well as offering a digital platform that challenges the traditional way to apply for finance.

How would you explain your role in 10 words or less?

How did you get started in your field?

What are you reading or listening to right now?
