Hidden River Group: Investing in Our Team for the Long Term

This newsletter was originally published in October 2023.

The past few weeks have seen significant upheaval in the global consulting industry. Hidden River Group is going the other direction. We are continuing to invest in our team, because the team is what the firm is.

Purpose

Everyone here works on the same thing: meaningful change for our public and private sector clients. That work spans healthcare innovation through state and local economic development. We take on projects where the result outlasts the engagement – a capability the client keeps, not just a deliverable they file.

Sustainability

We think about the longevity, growth, and welfare of our team members on the same footing as our business goals. That is a retention argument, but it is also just how we want to run a company.

Nurturing talent

We invest in training and mentorship. That goes past basic upskilling – we want people to keep learning across a career here, not just get current on a tool.

The strength of our team

We don't have employees at Hidden River Group; we have team members. The distinction reflects how the work actually gets done: collaboratively, with leadership in the work alongside everyone else. Different perspectives, backgrounds, and skillsets make the answers better.

The long view

As firms tighten their belts, we're hiring and developing. We see our team as long-term, not as a cost line to flex. We're committed to growing with our people and supporting them through hard stretches.

We're offering careers, not jobs. If that sounds like what you're looking for, we'd like to hear from you.
