Michael Gionta opened his firm, The Hudson Group, in early 1990. Between 1990 and 1996 Michael cashed-in $1 million as a billing manager. Frustrated, and wanting more, he drastically changed his approach to both the client and candidate side of the business. The result?

Michael cashed in over $5.6 million between late 1996 and the end of 2001, when he came off a desk. During that time, he ranked as a top 10 billing manager three times in the Management Recruiters International system, ranking as high as second in 2000 with cash in on his desk in excess of $2 million. In 2001, Michael made the strategic decision to grow his firm instead of developing his individual recruiting practice.
