Our managers are owners
Every office is run by the managing partner who owns it, so accountability sits with the person you actually work with.
ABOUT US
Our resume stands out.
With more than two decades in staffing, our partners do more than recruit. They bring ideas to use staffing better: to lift productivity, reduce costs, and manage employment risk.
Our differentiation
So what makes us different?
There are thousands of staffing firms in the United States, and most promise the same results. The difference is ownership, accountability, and consistency. At Partnership Employment, every office is run by the managing partner who owns it.

A partner in your success
Hear from leaders who rely on Partnership to deliver high-quality candidates, fast, with a process that stays collaborative end-to-end.
I have used Partnership Employment to help me fill a variety of temporary and permanent positions. My experience has been that I am provided with quality candidates within a short time frame. They really listen to what my company's needs are for each position. I am impressed not only with their ability to find candidates who have the technical skills I need but they also are the right fit for our company's culture. I highly recommend using Partnership Employment.
Bradburne Briller & Johnson, LLC
We have used Partnership Employment for years now. The staff at Partnership have been a tremendous asset to us in finding the very best talent available. The service they provide has saved us an incredible amount of time which translates into thousands of dollars annually. Our relationship has been so successful that we now use Partnership exclusively. I would estimate that 75% of the permanent staff here has its roots with Partnership Employment.
Harpers Payroll Services
We rely on Partnership for qualified experienced professionals with regard to our Legal Administrative Staff. The firm is truly grateful for the professionalism and thoroughness that Partnership continually provides.
Hassett and Donnelly
Smart businesses do not look at labor costs alone anymore. They do look at market access, transportation, telecommunications infrastructure and the education and skill level of the workforce, the development of capital and the regulatory market.
Homeland Security
I have worked with Partnership Employment for about four years and consider them to be my exclusive source for staffing needs. They have sent me only qualified candidates leaving me only the job of choosing which is best. Their response has always been prompt and follow-up has been consistent. I consider the staff at Partnership to be very professional and understanding of my requirements.
Bovis Lend Lease
The team at Partnership Employment delivered exactly what I was hoping! They recruited and pre-screened candidates, managed the scheduling to meet the availability of my interview panel, and brought forward a slate of qualified candidates. They welcomed our feedback and our specific requirements so that in the end, the most difficult part of the process was choosing only one. I am very happy with this experience and hope to have the opportunity to work with the team again.
