What Solomon Page Group does

Solomon Page Group (The Solomon-Page Group, LLC.) is a privately held, New York-headquartered staffing and executive search firm founded in 1990 by Lloyd Solomon and Scott Page. The company operates through 13 specialized divisions split between functional practices (Accounting & Finance, Administrative & Support, Creative & Marketing, Human Resources, Legal Services, Scientific & Engineering, Technology) and industry practices (Clinical Resource Network, Fashion & Beauty, Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Healthcare Staffing, Hospitality). Across these divisions it delivers three core service offerings: retained executive search with organizational mapping, full-time direct hire placement, and temporary/contract staffing. The firm reports a 48-hour average time-to-fill for temporary staffing, supported by proprietary databases, state-of-the-art sourcing technology, and tenured internal recruiting teams.

The company generates revenue through engagement-based fee structures — retained search fees for executive mandates, contingency placement fees for direct hires, and contract markups on temporary staffing — across enterprise clients including Fortune 500 companies, global financial institutions (investment banks, asset managers, PE firms), healthcare organizations, fashion/beauty brands, hospitality groups, and start-ups. Named customers include Four Seasons, Marriott, Wyndham, and Intercontinental Hotels. Solomon Page also operates a Joint Commission Gold Seal-certified healthcare staffing arm and wholly-owned subsidiaries Clinical Resource Network (CRN, founded 2002) and E.A. Hughes (acquired), adding clinical research and C-Suite retail/apparel search depth.

Solomon Page maintains 8-15 US offices spanning New York, Long Island, Colorado, Florida, Los Angeles, San Diego, Massachusetts, and North Carolina, plus a London office, employing 300+ people of whom more than 50% have tenures exceeding five years and 30% exceeding a decade. The firm is self-described as a $200M+ organization and has been named one of Forbes' 'America's Best Executive Recruiting Firms' for five consecutive years. Ownership remains with the founding partners, with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, reflecting an organic-growth operating model.
