here's what our people say

values matter

We believe actions speak louder than words, and that the company you keep determines whether your company keeps up. We prioritize working hard and with integrity, to make a real impact on both our clients and candidates.

And we have fun along the way.

Transparency

Just filling seats? This isn’t that kind of place(ment). Our mission is to match fit on every level, and that only happens through radical honesty. We ensure all decision-makers are well briefed and have realistic expectations by communicating clearly on strengths and weaknesses, pros and cons.

Specialization

“One size fits all” usually means no one gets a perfect fit. Our expert matchmakers dedicate themselves fully to one field so that we can zero in on great technical and cultural matches for your industry – whether it’s technical, scientific, medical, engineering or in modern manufacturing.

Commitment

We never forget that our candidates and clients are the reason we come to work every day. Placing someone in a “perfect fit” role, recruiting a dream candidate, finding someone with exactly the skills and temperament to fill out the team – that’s what makes us tick. 

Impact

One person can create major impact on a business, workflow, productivity, and team morale. Our candidates are thoroughly skilled and vetted, and come with the highest recommendations. Think of the best coworker you ever had – we channel them throughout every search.

building great workplaces starts within

We've been one of Washington's Top 100 Best Workplaces in Washington for five consecutive years

We’re in the business of building great teams that meet individual needs and help grow thriving companies to reach their goals. That means we understand more than most that your people are your culture. We strategically create industry-specific teams that foster a close-knit start-up feel within our own company. This ensures we have a deep knowledge of every sector we serve while allowing us to build unique teams that work (and play) well together.  We’re honored to be recognized as one of Washington’s Top 100 Best Places to Work for five years running, and have applied those same strategies to find the absolute best matches for our clients and candidates to grow happily and successfully.
