We’d like to give ourselves a pat on the back! Murray Resources is proud to announce that we’ve been ranked one of the top five recruitment firms in Houston by the Houston Business Journal.

“Being named one of Houston’s top recruitment firms is a wonderful accomplishment for our team because it recognizes the tremendous job they do for our employers and candidates every day,” said our company president, Marsha Murray. “While our focus has always been on offering the highest quality recruiting services and not necessarily on being the largest firm, our company’s growth is a welcome by-product of our team’s hard work and dedication.”

So how did our firm come so far?

Back in 1988, Marsha founded Murray Resources after working in the staffing industry for a number of years. She secured a $2,000 loan and used it to buy a typewriter and get business cards and brochures printed. While her beginnings were humble, she had a big vision in mind. She wanted to create a Houston recruitment firm that focused more on respect for both clients and candidates than what she’d seen in her past industry experience.

Always staying true to that vision, Murray Resources has since seen phenomenal growth over the past three decades, going from a one-woman operation to employing dozens of knowledgeable recruiters and support staff. Our team counts more than 800 companies in and around the Houston area as clients, including 11 that are Fortune™ 500. We’ve also placed thousands of job seekers over the years, matching them with opportunities where they can achieve their career goals and boost their overall quality of life in the process.

And our numbers speak for themselves. For instance, we have a 95% client satisfaction rate, the majority of our clients have worked with us for more than 11 years, and referrals are our biggest source of new business. In fact, they account for 43% of new accounts! We even boast an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

So, whether you’re an employer seeking to partner with a reputable recruitment firm in Houston or a candidate who wants help with your job search, Murray Resources is your go-to source. We have experience across a range of industries – from manufacturing and marketing to administration, finance, HR and more – as well as in temporary, contract, and temp-to-hire staffing; payrolling; onsite recruiting management; and testing/assessment services. In addition, for candidates, we offer our stand-alone resume writing and career coaching services through ResumeSpice. However you work with us, you can always count on us for honesty, integrity, and transparency every step of the way.
