Salt and The McCormick Group forge strategic partnership to strengthen US Executive and Tech search capabilities

As innovation accelerates, the partnership delivers future-focused talent solutions at scale.

WASHINGTON, July 2025 – Global digital recruitment leader Salt has announced a strategic partnership with The McCormick Group, one of Washington, D.C.’s most established Executive Search firms, to enhance access to top-tier talent across the U.S. market.

This collaboration is founded on a shared commitment to delivering high-touch market expertise and long-term value to clients with a consultative approach. It brings together Salt’s global reach and digital specialization with The McCormick Group’s deep relationships in Legal, Government Affairs,  Social Impact,  Real Estate, Construction, Federal  Contracting and Technology – from startups to large enterprise firms.

“For us, this partnership is a key move in accelerating Salt’s growth in the US, particularly in tech, digital leadership, and commercial innovation,” said Elliot Dell, CEO at Salt. “The McCormick Group brings a level of insight and credibility in this market that’s rare. Together, we can deliver with both scale and nuance.”

“In 1974, I founded The McCormick Group with a simple belief: Develop sources who know the top performing people in the fields we specialize in and then recruit the very best candidates for our clients based on their assessments,” said Bill McCormick, Founder of The McCormick Group. “This partnership with Salt represents that same principle – doing the work right, with the right people.”

With a trusted reputation for executive search across a diverse range of sectors, The McCormick Group combines long-standing stability with a forward-leaning mindset. Their continued evolution is reflected in the successful placement of C-suite and senior leadership teams across business development, operations, finance, marketing, project management, technology, and human resources.

At The McCormick Group, we’ve built our reputation on trust and a personalized approach to executive search,” said Deborah Page and Elizabeth Humphrey, Vice Presidents at The McCormick Group. “Partnering with Salt broadens our perspective and enhances our ability to deliver strategic talent solutions, particularly in rapidly evolving digital sectors. As technology and AI continue to reshape industries, our clients need partners who understand both innovation and talent.”

“Bill and I quickly aligned on what matters – partnership, performance, and values,” said David Delbecq, Tech Market Leader for Salt U.S. “This is not just about reach. It’s about combining strengths to help clients lead through change.”

Both firms will continue to operate independently while collaborating on joint search efforts, market insights, and client delivery, focused on leadership roles that drive transformation.
