The 2025 award marks the 2nd year the Houston-based recruiting and staffing firm has been named the Grand Prize Winner by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA).

HOUSTON, TEXAS (March 14, 2025) – Murray Resources, a leading Houston-based staffing agency and recruiting firm, today announced that it has been named the Grand Prize winner of Staffing Industry Analysts’ (SIA) 2025 Best Staffing Firms to Work For.

It is the second time the firm has been awarded with the Grand Prize in the program’s 21-50 employee category. Winners were announced during SIA’s Executive Forum North America conference in Miami Beach.

Over 400 firms participated in this year’s program, with winners chosen based on internal employee surveys measuring six key engagement categories: communication and resources, individual needs, manager effectiveness, personal engagement, team dynamics, and trust in leadership. Companies in each size category were ranked according to their overall composite score.

“We’re incredibly proud of our team – not just for the outstanding work they do for our clients and candidates, but also for the culture we’ve all built together,” Marsha Murray, founder and president of Murray Resources, commented. “Knowing that they feel supported, empowered, and excited to come to work each day means the world to me, and we are thrilled to be recognized for it. But a great culture isn’t static, and our work as leaders is to ensure our employees continue to grow and thrive in an environment where they feel supported and their successes are celebrated.”

“SIA’s 2025 Best Staffing Firms to Work For program winners demonstrate the ability to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry by maintaining a steadfast commitment to culture, leadership, and adaptability,” said SIA President Ursula Williams. “These top firms don’t just navigate change — they embrace it with a growth mindset.
