The Christopher Group Launches Continuum Talent Solutions
November 19, 2024 – The Christopher Group (TCG), a boutique HR executive search and business solutions recruiting firm, has launched Continuum Talent Solutions, a new platform designed to empower independent executive search consultants. Continuum offers a seamless, end-to-end solution for consultants with established client relationships who aspire to run their own business without the complexities of back-office operations.
“With the highest commission structure in the industry, Continuum is already generating significant traction, with several seasoned industry veterans expressing verbal commitments,” said Nat Schiffer, CEO at TCG. “This platform is built to scale quickly. We are focused on attracting experienced executive search leaders from all industry verticals by providing them the systems, processes, and digital marketing tools needed to succeed.”
Continuum Talent Solutions offers a comprehensive suite of services, including: State-of-the-art technology and systems; end-to-end back-office support from contracting to invoicing; and cutting-edge digital marketing resources to enhance consultants’ market presence
“The goal of Continuum is to provide consultants with the freedom to focus on building client relationships and growing their business, while we take care of the rest,” said Mr. Schiffer. “We see this as a game-changer for the executive search industry. This new platform reflects TCG’s ongoing commitment to innovation and supporting top talent, enabling independent consultants to thrive in a competitive market without compromising on infrastructure and support.”
Founded in 1998, The Christopher Group has expanded its offerings beyond traditional executive search to deliver agile HR business solutions, including executive search, interim HR leaders, fractional CHROs, and HR advisory & consulting. The firm serves large corporations, middle-market companies, private equity firms, family-owned enterprises, and closely-held businesses, providing comprehensive solutions to their human capital challenges.
New Ownership
The Christopher Group was acquired by a group of managing partners led by Mr. Schiffer last year. The acquisition allows the firm to continue its growth trajectory while ensuring a smooth ownership transition. “The acquisition of The Christopher Group by its managing partners is a testament to the strength, depth, and resilience of our company,” said Mr. Christopher. “We are excited to have all of the partners take the reins and continue our legacy of excellence in the HR industry we support.”
