Hudson Promotes Marc Bouchard to Executive VP, Financial Solutions

Expands Practice to Washington, DC-Baltimore, MD Market
NEW YORK, NY - July 31, 2007 - Hudson, a leading provider of permanent recruitment, contract professionals and talent management services worldwide (NASDAQ: HHGP), announced the promotion of Marc Bouchard to executive vice president of its Financial Solutions Practice. In this role, Bouchard heads the practice and is responsible for its strategic direction and financial results. He was preceded by Wayne Beaubian, who resigned due to personal reasons.

Prior to joining Hudson, Bouchard was a founding partner of JMT Financial Partners, LLC, a leading financial solutions firm with offices in Minneapolis, MN, and Denver, CO. JMT was later acquired by Hudson to strengthen the company's consulting capabilities in key areas of corporate finance and accounting such as compliance, internal audit, financial systems, process improvement and taxation. Bouchard earned his bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of San Diego.

"Prior to stepping into this position, Marc already had an impressive track record as a founding partner of JMT.  I have a high degree of confidence in him and his team, who have been key contributors to the Financial Solutions business since the acquisition," said Jon Chait, chairman and chief executive officer, Hudson Highland Group. "Moving forward, he has already established a strategy of focusing on investing in the talent and markets with the strongest potential for strategic, profitable growth."

Financial Solutions Opens DC Office
In one of his first moves at the helm of Financial Solutions, Bouchard expanded the practice to the Washington, DC-Baltimore, MD market, joining Hudson's IT & Telecommunications and Legal practices. Glen Parrillo joins Hudson Financial Solutions as managing director to lead the local team. He comes from Prudential Carruthers Realtors, where he was chief financial officer.

"Washington, DC is a prime market to introduce the Financial Solutions offering, with the job market for accounting and finance professionals so tight that the unemployment rate in this sector seems to have fallen below zero," commented Bouchard. "I am confident that Glen and his experienced team will have no problem leveraging the situation to quickly establish a strong foothold for us throughout the region."
