The Heiden Group (THG) is a premier search firm specializing in recruiting sales, marketing and technical talent for technology companies with mission critical leadership, mid-level and individual contributor hiring needs. Since 2004, our strategic recruiting services have helped our technology clients -- from small venture-backed companies to large, multinational corporations -- hire the best of the best to join their organizations.

Our firm’s success is rooted in our deep commitment to client service and our belief that a company’s most valuable asset is its employees. We have placed executives in leadership positions, built national sales teams from the ground up and staffed engineers in management roles for hundreds of organizations. Regardless of their size or what their product or service offering may be, our clients’ recruiting needs are the same: hire the very best “roll up your sleeves” people for customer-facing and revenue-generating positions.

We take the responsibility of finding the right people for our clients very seriously. By helping clients recruit the most qualified talent in the industry, we know that we will positively impact their bottom line. And, the results are clear. Our clients consistently have outperformed in their markets, increased their profits and are among the fastest-growing and most sought-after companies in their respective technology sectors.

We focus our recruiting efforts on the “hands-on” hires.

...we are not career recruiters.

With more than seventy-five years of combined experience successfully pioneering emerging high technologies during our tenures leading sales, marketing, operations and strategy teams, we can firmly say that we’ve been in our clients’ shoes and we understand the pressures that they’re under.

So, we put our extensive backgrounds to work for our clients. We know how to evaluate, attract, develop, excite and retain the top performers -- the vice president of sales who will build winning teams and keep them motivated, the sales and marketing managers who will simply but persuasively educate even the most cynical of audiences about the benefits of a leading-edge or intricately complex technology, and the highly skilled engineer who will help deliver the next generation of valuable products and services.

Unlike the average recruiter who might have to rely on tip sheets, we can draw from our own knowledge and expertise to identify the most talented and qualified people, then strike the right chord with these potential candidates to get them interested in a position, even if they are not actively looking for new employment.

Thanks to the breadth and depth of our experience in the high technology industry, it’s also a given that we may tap into our large professional network to handpick the right people for our clients, or conduct discreet reference checks as part of our candidate vetting process. Making these connections and harnessing the power of our relationships and experience have made a significant impact on our clients’ businesses. We get our clients better results, faster.
