About Career Group Companies
Career Group Companies is a premier, women-owned recruiting and advisory firm providing high-touch staffing and search services to employers and job seekers. The firm operates through specialized divisions that serve corporate and administrative teams, private and household staffing, creative/marketing/technology, fashion/beauty/luxury, live events, and executive leadership hiring. Founded in 1981 by Susan Levine, the company was built to raise the standard in recruiting with a people-first approach that emphasizes relationship-building, discretion, and curated candidate slates rather than high-volume resume submissions. Career Group Companies positions itself as a long-term strategic hiring partner, advising on hiring trends, salary benchmarking, and team structuring. Across its divisions, Career Group Companies supports multiple hiring models—direct hire, temp-to-hire, temporary/contract staffing, retained executive search, payroll services (as employer of record for temporary/part-time workers), and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO). The company highlights national reach via multiple U.S. offices, service in Canada, and an affiliate in Mexico (Career Group Cabo).
