Seattle Recruiters and Employment Agencies

This list of Seattle recruiters and employment agencies is provided as a service of VocationVillage.com but does not constitute an endorsement of any of these companies or recruiters. While I provide this information to help you with research, I am unable to suggest specific recruiters for your unique situation.

If you plan to contact an executive recruiter (or better yet, try to be introduced to a recruiter through a trusted colleague), you might enjoy this interview with Dr. Dora Summers-Ewing about how to work with an executive recruiter.

The descriptions of these recruiting companies were taken directly from their websites. 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 represent one of these organizations and you would like to request changes or additions, please contact me.

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.
