Huntington Group is a national, full-service search firm specializing in the recruitment of executives for the information technology industries.  We were established on the principle that expert knowledge and diligent service is essential for long-term success.  The firm is dedicated to the goal of establishing long-term client relationships by providing the highest quality search services that are uniquely tailored to the individual needs of the each one of our clients in a manner that is cost effective, timely and lives up to the highest level of ethical standards.

Our clients are among the fastest-growing firms in the country. This type of growth creates tremendous demand for quality talent who will contribute to the organization’s continued success. The fact that Huntington Group has been able to keep pace with this demand while maintaining a high level of service is a testimony to our ability to perform.

 Huntington Group exclusively conducts executive level searches that require the highest level of client service. As such, we take a consultative approach with our clients, advising and offering guidance on a broad spectrum of issues, which allows us to better refine the assignment. Our experience in executive search enables us to provide counsel on relevant hiring concerns, such as compensation and organizational structure, to ensure that the assignment is appropriately positioned for the particular marketplace.

For each assignment, a highly experienced search team is assembled under the direction of a principal who maintains close contact with the client throughout the project. In the executive search business, where success depends on timely communications, we are highly regarded by our clients for our accessibility and responsiveness.

 Technology, by its very nature, is innovative. It is the nature of Huntington Group as well. Innovative ideas have helped us to work more efficiently and cost effectively, to be more competitive and to better serve our clients.

The development of new concepts in executive search, such as flexible fee structures, performance-based billing and advanced office technologies, have helped to establish Huntington Group as a leader in our industry.

 Huntington Group utilizes the most advanced technologies within our own offices to help us work more efficiently and expeditiously. Our large, sophisticated database enables us to quickly identify the most qualified candidates; our remote computing capabilities provide access to our database from virtually anywhere, our communication systems allow our team to maintain virtually continuous communication with all parties; and our video teleconferencing can be an effective tool for candidate assessments.

We were one of the first search firms to recognize and harness the power of the Internet by developing an exclusive World Wide Web site years before the others. Since then, we have maintained our cutting-edge approach with our Web site and it continues to be one of the many, innovative solutions we use to serve our clients better.

 Each search assignment is unique. So, unlike most executive search firms that base fees on a fixed percentage, we base our fee on the complexity of the assignment. For even the most complex search, our fee never exceeds the industry standard. Furthermore, Huntington Group offers performance-based billing which means clients are billed when goals, not dates, are reached.

Our fees are based on a percentage of the first year’s total cash compensation. The percentage amount is determined by the complexity of the assignment and will not exceed industry-standard fee levels. Clients are billed for search-related expenses, including travel and administrative. No major costs are incurred without client approval.

Clients are invoiced in three equal installments. The initial invoice is issued upon commencement of the assignment, the second upon first presentation of prospective candidates, and the final upon completion of the assignment. If the actual compensation differs from the initial estimate, the final invoice will include the necessary adjustments.

We guarantee our work. If a selected candidate should leave for any reason within one year of the date of employment, Huntington Group will conduct another search to fill the position.
