Seattle Recruiters and Employment Agencies

This list of Seattle recruiters is provided as a service of VocationVillage.com but does not constitute an endorsement of any of these companies or recruiters. If you write to us and ask us for a recruiter recommendation, we will respond that we do not personally know these recruiters.



The descriptions of these companies were taken directly from their Web sites. Firms are categorized according to primary function but most of these companies perform a variety of recruiting activities across multiple industries so please scan the entire list to find what you need. If you would like to request changes or additions, please contact us.

If you are a job seeker, please be cautious when divulging personal information to any person who claims to be a recruiter. You should never have to pay a fee to any recruiter as the hiring organization is responsible for compensating the recruiter. If someone asks you for a large upfront sum of money to help you find a job, we recommend that you run away quickly.

Recruiters are hired by organizations to find talent. If you are really wishing to find a career counselor to help you make career decisions and design strategies to help you attain your career goals, the safest bet is to hire a career counselor certified by the National Career Development Association as most of their counselors will allow you to pay by the hour as they help you and all of them subscribe to the strict ethical code of the counseling profession. There are excellent career coaches you can hire as well, although the quality of coaches varies widely because there is no formal standardization for their training and experience.
