Lora Thompson

Managing Director

Lora has over 20 years of recruiting experience specializing in Finance and Accounting within agency and corporate environments. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Cabrini University and in her “former life” spent five years in Corporate Tax. After realizing Tax was not her passion, she saw an ad for a job in Florida that asked “Are you an Accidental Accountant?” Lora applied, and the rest is history.

She started her recruiting career with Robert Half International in 2001 and led the temporary consulting team for three years prior to joining the direct hire team for the next five years at RHI. In 2012, Lora was hired by one of her clients, ADT to join and build their Talent Acquisition Team and spent the next eight years immersed in corporate talent acquisition, high volume recruiting, negotiations, human resources, and compensation.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.” — Steve Jobs

Jason Diller

Jason and his team of specialized tax recruiters have built a network second to none by delivering real time accurate information to both clients and candidates. Jason is known as the “Tax Man” in the recruiting industry – I mean, who else creates t-shirts with slogans like “Call me after the 15th” or, “My Job is Taxing?”

A world traveler, multi-lingual, dog lover, jobs creator and longest standing HHG employee – Jason is just that good!

Rich Viviano

Managing Director

Most people are lucky enough to have one successful career – Rich has had two! Joining Henderson Harbor Group in 2011 after twenty years on the New York commodity trading floor, Rich literally went from filling buy/sell orders to filling tax jobs!

Rich has always enjoyed helping people reach their financial and professional goals and recruiting gives him that platform to help tax professionals reach both. Guiding someone on their career path is more important than just putting someone in their next job. There is a real satisfaction in that.

Oh and a little known fact, Rich makes the best Rum Cake on the planet.
