The HT Group Welcomes Paul McGaughan as IT Staffing & Recruiting Practice Director

AUSTIN, Texas, October 21, 2020 (Newswire.com) - The HT Group has hired Paul McGaughan as practice director overseeing IT Staffing & Recruiting. McGaughan joins The HT Group with more than 20 years of combined experience in recruiting, business development, and in IT and engineering services.

"It is a rare opportunity to find someone with a strong technical aptitude, elite sales skills, and is a perfect culture fit. We are excited to bring Paul on board to continue our explosive growth in both IT recruiting and consulting," says The HT Group President Chad Macy.

As practice director of IT Staffing & Recruiting, McGaughan will work to further strengthen the team, which is a core part of The HT Group's success. The firm was founded as HT Staffing in 2001 to meet the region's needs for traditional temporary staffing. As Austin grew and evolved—with more and more tech companies taking up residence in the city—so did The HT Group. While many companies have struggled to stay afloat this year, The HT Group has picked up its pace in staffing and recruiting and has added additional consulting and advisory services.

"Paul will play a significant role in this growth," says The HT Group Founder and CEO Mark Turpin. "He has extensive experience consulting and recruiting tech candidates in a variety of areas including system engineering and design for major tech companies, building out teams for startups, contractor sourcing and hiring for a Fortune 10 tech brand, and recruiting STEM engineers and anaylists for DoD security clearance projects. His in-depth knowledge of the IT recruiting world, especially in Austin, will greatly increase the ability of our technical staffing group as well as our IT management consulting arm of the business."

"I am excited to join The HT Group," McGaughan adds. "The technical staffing team is very talented and excited about the business and industry. How could we lose with this combination? We won't. I know talent, and so does The HT Group. My track record, relevant industry experience, education, and leadership style fit perfectly into this role. I look forward to leading the team and our clients into an exciting and prosperous new era."
