Our Philosophy

Connect with a Diverse Network

Many employers run into the issue of hiring from the same professional circles again and again, which results in candidate profiles largely staying the same.
‍
At Willing to Hunt, we reach out and get involved with a wide range of networks to diversify our — and your — talent pool.

Build Long-Standing Relationships

We take a relationship-based approach to recruitment and have been nurturing a broad network of talent for more than 20 years. We ask questions and listen to the career needs of the organizations and individuals we work with. We also stay in touch with our clients and candidates — even when they are perfectly happy with their position or teams — because we care about people, not just their placements.

Naturally DEI

We believe that DEI efforts should be ingrained in everything we do. By nurturing long-standing relationships from broad networks in Chicago and beyond, we have established a talent pool wide-ranging in its diversity. To us, DEI is about celebrating and honoring our differences and connecting people that can help each other.

We consider ourselves first and foremost a relationship-oriented recruitment firm, with DEI built in as a crucial part of our practice.

Dedicated to Philanthropy

Leadership

A. Gregory Hunt, Founder & CEO
‍
‍A. Gregory Hunt founded Willing to Hunt, LLC, a boutique executive recruiting firm, in 2001 and specializes in conducting retained and contingency searches for experienced professionals in the financial services industry. He began his career in executive recruiting with Account Pros in California, where he performed searches in the accounting and finance industry. He spent over 10 years in the Accounting, Audit, and Finance fields before founding Willing to Hunt.

Willing to Hunt was born out of the need to switch from focusing on numbers to focusing on connecting people. He'd hear things like, "you are relentless, you never give up, and you stay connected."  Bringing people together and watching new relationships blossom was tremendously rewarding for Greg. Now, over 2 decades later, he is more fired up about creating new and meaningful connections than ever.

Greg's passion to help others succeed and enact positive change can be seen in areas far beyond his work. He has served on several non-profit advocacy boards as Resource Development Chair and Regional President, and previously sat on the Board of Trinity High School and Old St. Patrick’s Church.
