Addison Group

What Addison Group does

Addison Group is a privately held, U.S.-based talent solutions and consulting firm headquartered in Chicago, founded in 2008, operating through approximately 28 offices across the country with a network of more than 1.5 million candidates. The firm organizes its services around three core lines: Talent Solutions (contract, contract-to-hire, and permanent placement), Executive Search (VP-to-C-suite retained search), and Consulting Services (specialized consultants and change management support). These services are delivered across six horizontally segmented practice areas — Finance & Accounting, Information Technology, Human Resources, Healthcare, Administrative, and Digital Marketing — supported by a portfolio of seven retained sub-brands (Harmony Healthcare, Kranz Consulting, DLC Inc., Mondo, Arclight Consulting, Aim Consulting, and Bridgepoint Consulting) acquired over time to deepen vertical specialization.

The company runs a sales-led go-to-market, combining direct enterprise sales to employers, a self-serve job board for candidates, and a physical office network targeting mid-market buyers. Pricing is quote-based and varies by role type, seniority, and engagement model (contract vs. permanent placement), and is not publicly disclosed. Revenue mechanics are professional services in nature, with staffing placements (likely including billings on temporary/contract workers) and consulting engagements as primary streams. Leadership is centered on CEO Thomas Moran, with Will Hinde appointed as President of Consulting Services in April 2026 to integrate the consulting and talent solutions businesses.

Technology and AI capabilities are not disclosed in the source material: core technology is unspecified, no proprietary platform features, APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML modalities are listed, and the firm has no mobile app. Marketing relies on organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X), an Insights blog, webinars, and proprietary research assets such as the 2026 Workforce Planning Guide. The firm operates as Addison Group LLC, appears to be a Delaware-incorporated LLC, has no disclosed parent, and reports no funding rounds or institutional investor ownership in the available data.
