Engineering Recruiters in Houston

Clayton Services has been placing engineers across Houston since 1984 — longer than most staffing firms have existed. We've built direct relationships with engineers and hiring managers across the Energy Corridor, Pasadena refining complex, and Northwest Houston manufacturing corridor over four decades. When you call us, you're talking to recruiters who know this market from the inside out — not a national intake team with a zip code filter.

For contract and project-based engineering needs, Clayton Services draws from an active local pipeline of pre-screened Houston engineers — mechanical, electrical, process, controls, and project disciplines. We're not starting a search from scratch when you call. Most contract roles are filled within 3–5 business days because we're already talking to the candidates you need.

For permanent engineering placements, Clayton Services typically presents a qualified shortlist within 1–2 weeks. We invest the time upfront to understand your technical requirements, team culture, and performance expectations — so the candidates we present are genuinely qualified, not just resume matches pulled from a job board.

Every direct hire engineering placement is backed by up to a 180-day replacement guarantee — the longest offered by any Houston staffing firm. If a placement doesn't work out within 180 days, we make it right at no additional cost. It's a level of confidence in our candidates that most agencies simply won't match.
