Life at Addison Group

Our Methods Work

We have a specific search methodology and recruiting process that has been rigorously tested and thoughtfully designed throughout our more than 20 years in the industry. Our competition focuses on placement numbers and money coming in, but we put people first.

Making a difference is central to our mission, whether in the life of a single individual or by filling 200 positions for a client.

It’s not about the number of contacts in our network or how many resumes we collect — it’s about understanding the needs of our clients and our candidates while delivering impactful results.
