Founded in 1999, it specializes in professional staffing and search services for positions relating to business administration, engineering, finance, healthcare and information technology.[1] Since 2007, Addison Group has been included yearly on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.[2]

History

Addison Group was founded in 1999 as Addison Professional Financial Search, LLC. [3] The Chicago-based company established a national presence, adding offices in Boston and Houston before being acquired by the private equity management firm Lake Capital in 2006. In 2012, the company was officially rebranded as Addison Group following the purchase of an unrelated entity of the same name.[4]

In September 2013, New York-based Trilantic Capital Partners announced a strategic investment partnership with Addison Group, buying a controlling stake from Lake Capital for an undisclosed amount. Trilantic expressed plans to leverage Addison as a platform for making additional acquisitions in the staffing industry.[5] The first of such additions was the acquisition of Reston, Virginia-based HireStrategy, which expanded the presence of Addison Group into the Washington, DC metropolitan area for the first time.[6] Shortly after, Addison Group acquired the Bay Area executive search firm, CVPartners, Inc. CVPartners is headquartered in San Francisco, with 4 offices along the west coast. [7]

Addison Group has now established a coast to coast presence, with 19 offices nationwide: Austin, Bellevue, Boston, Chicago (HQ), Dallas, Denver, Houston, Kansas City, Mountain View, Nashville, New York, Oklahoma City, Reston, Rockville, San Francisco, Schaumburg, Seattle, Tulsa, and Washington, DC.
