When you need a job quick, one of the best ways to get it done is to work through a staffing agency. Staffing agencies recruit workers for various companies, and are almost always free to job seekers (they charge hiring companies a fee). If you’re looking for a staffing agency in Houston, TX, here are some of the best.
Kelly Services
If you’re looking for an experienced staffing agency, Kelly Services might be your best bet. With offices all over the U.S., they have one of the best track records here in Houston. They have ten branch offices in Houston and the surrounding areas, some of which are specialized in Finance, Engineering, technical, medical or office staffing, but you can find just about anything you need. They have an excellent search feature on their website that allows you to find jobs in your area. You can also visit one of their offices and speak to a staffing agent.
If you are looking for an administrative or clerical position, Office Team is undoubtedly the place to go. They have offices in the US and abroad and are constantly looking for eager new applicants. I’ve never heard a negative thing about Office Team and a friend of mine insisted that she’d never use another service. They can help job seekers who are looking for either temporary or permanent work and they also work with contractors and consultants.
Many people prefer working with locally-operated businesses, in which case Clayton Personnel Services might be the right staffing agency for you. They have four Houston area locations: Downtown, Northwest, West/SW and the Woodlands. One of their hallmarks is fast, personal services, which is guaranteed from the moment you enlist them in your job search. My wife has used them several times, and they have always been friendly and helpful. Most of their clients are in the oil and gas, healthcare, IT and manufacturing industries.
Since the early 1970’s, Burnett Staffing Specialists has been one of the top Houston staffing agencies.

The industries in which they most often operate are clerical, admin, HR, customer service, industrial and legal support. They are Texas’ 4th Top Administrative/Support staffing agency and the United States’ 67th Top Woman-Owned Business. They also have offices in San Antonio, El Paso, Austin and Ft. Worth.
Based originally in Oklahoma City, Express Personnel Services is one of the top staffing agencies in Houston. They offer not only staffing, but franchise solutions and start-up assistance.
