Access to Unique Candidates

• Our clients don’t just want candidates—they want the right candidates. We specialize in identifying and engaging high-impact professionals in niche roles who aren’t actively searching and often don’t think they have time for a new opportunity. Through relationship-building, many of our best placements come from this uniquely qualified pool.

​​

Stronger Diversity Outcomes

• 40% of our placements are from underrepresented groups—well above the industry average of 30%. Over the last four years, we’ve raised female representation in our candidate slates to 45%, doubling typical benchmarks in many technical sectors. Our active presence in Houston’s women-in-energy community strengthens our ability to connect with a broad, diverse network.

Bilingual Talent Advantage

• 22% of the candidates we present are bilingual—an asset for companies operating in multicultural or global markets. These professionals help bridge communication gaps and support more inclusive, collaborative environments.
