Houston-Owned Business
Clayton Services is a Houston-based staffing agency and recruiting firm placing professionals across Greater Houston since 1984. We provide direct hire recruiting, temp-to-hire staffing, temporary staffing, payrolling, executive search, and RPO services for employers in energy, engineering, accounting, legal, administrative, HR, supply chain, sales, marketing, light industrial, and skilled trades.
​
As a Houston-owned employment agency — not a national chain with a local office — every recruiter on our team works and lives in the Houston market. We maintain two Houston locations serving employers from the Energy Corridor to the Ship Channel, and from The Woodlands to Pearland.
​
Houston companies choose Clayton Services for one reason other placement agencies and temp agencies in Houston can't match: we back every direct hire placement with up to a 180-day replacement guarantee, and every temporary placement with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If a hire doesn't work out, we make it right.
Permanent placement services for professional, technical, administrative, and leadership roles across Houston. Direct hire placements backed by up to a 180-day replacement guarantee.
Try before you hire. Evaluate a candidate on the job before making a permanent offer. Our temp-to-hire staffing service is one of the most effective ways Houston employers reduce hiring risk.
Reliable, pre-screened temporary employees for short-term projects, peak periods, and long-term assignments. Backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee — if a temp placement isn't working, we replace them at no charge.
Place your own contractors and consultants on our payroll. Clayton Services acts as employer of record — handling payroll, taxes, workers' comp, and compliance so you can focus on the work, not the paperwork.
Retained and contingency search for VP, Director, C-suite, and senior leadership roles. Our Houston executive search team has placed leaders across energy, engineering, finance, and operations since 1984.
Embedded recruiting support and recruitment process outsourcing for Houston employers with high-volume or specialized hiring needs. Scale your recruiting without scaling your internal HR team.
Why Houston Companies Choose Clayton Services
The Longest Placement Guarantee in Houston — 180 Days
If a direct hire placement leaves or doesn't work out within 180 days, we conduct a full replacement search at no fee. No other Houston staffing agency or recruiting firm publicly offers this. It means we're accountable for every hire we make — not just until the candidate starts.
40 Years Building Houston's Candidate Network (Since 1984)
Clayton Services has been placing professionals with Houston's energy companies, manufacturers, law firms, and corporate offices since 1984. Our candidate network spans accounting and finance, engineering, oil and gas, HR, legal, administrative, supply chain, sales, marketing, and skilled trades — built over four decades in the Houston market that national firms can't replicate from a remote office.
A Houston Employment Agency, Not a National Chain
Every recruiter at Clayton Services works in Houston. We don't route your search through a call center or a national placement team with no local knowledge. When you call us, you reach a Houston recruiter who knows the local talent market, the local industries, and what it takes to hire well in this city.
100% Satisfaction on Every Temporary Placement
If a temporary employee or contract worker isn't meeting your expectations at any point during an assignment, we replace them immediately at no additional charge. No questions. This applies to every temporary, temp-to-hire, and contract placement we make.
Clayton Services places professionals and skilled workers with employers across Greater Houston — including the Energy Corridor, Downtown Houston, Greenway Plaza, the Galleria, the Houston Ship Channel industrial corridor, and suburbs throughout the metro.
We serve employers in The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, Pasadena, Baytown, Humble, Kingwood, Spring, Conroe, Cypress, Stafford, and surrounding communities. Whether you're hiring one person or building a team, our Houston recruiters are close by.
