Megan L., Legal Industry

I cannot express how thankful we at Buckley Law are to work with Kristen McConnell at Mulberry Talent Partners! Time and time Kristen and her team have gone above and beyond in assisting us with our needs. I have been using them to fill temp positions since mid 2025 and I don’t think I would ever go to another agency. Kristen and her team provide excellent service and clear communication with clear expectations.

Stephanie G., HR Leader

I was first introduced to Mulberry years ago during a career transition when the company I was working for went out of business. From the very beginning, their team took the time to understand me as a whole person — not just a resume. They helped me refine my story, strengthened my resume, and connected me to opportunities I wouldn’t have initially thought I was ready for. More importantly, they advocated for roles that were genuinely aligned with my strengths and long-term goals.

Katie E., Happy Candidate

I had the best experience as a candidate with Mulberry Talent Partners. Lauren and Kristen are very supportive and helpful during every step of the process. I knew if I had questions or needed to run something past them, they would be there to answer. Also, they had check-ins and updates every step of the way. They were wonderful to work with and hands down this has been the best hiring process as a candidate that I have ever been part of.

Elisa P., HR Executive

Thank you so much for all your TOP NOTCH support. You’ve been an incredible recruiting partner, and I’m so grateful to have you and Mulberry as a resource. 

Shaun B., Health & Safety Manager, OKC

Mulberry Talent Partners and Kristen McConnell were instrumental in helping me secure a position that truly reflects my professional journey and life’s work. Kristen’s expertise, persistence, and consistent communication made the entire process seamless and successful. If you are ready to take the next step in your career, I highly recommend partnering with Kristen McConnell and the team at Mulberry Talent Partners for guidance and collaboration. Their professionalism and dedication can make a life-changing difference.

Kaitlyn M., HR Professional

As one of their clients, the team truly listened to our organizational and team needs, provided thoughtful feedback and insight on what we were seeking in a candidate, and presented well-rounded candidates for a leadership role. They didn’t just send resumes—they provided clear overviews of each candidate and worked closely with us to ensure alignment with our goals and vision. In the end, we found a great addition to our leadership.

Wendy D., Executive Administrator

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mulberry Talent Partners. From my first conversation with Lauren, I knew they were professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right fit. Lauren took the time to understand my experience, career goals, and what I was looking for in a workplace—and she absolutely delivered. Thanks to their incredible team, I landed an Executive Administrator position that not only matches my skill set but also aligns with my values. The process was smooth, transparent, and very fast! I felt supported every step of the way. Lauren, Kristen, and Stella are amazing! If you’re looking for a recruiting agency that truly advocates for you and goes above and beyond, connect with Mulberry. I’m so grateful for their help and excited about this new chapter in my career!

Amanda B., Administrative Professional

Mulberry Talent has been great to work with! I’ve been matched with a great organization and it was all very seamless and easy. I continue to get checked in on to make sure I’m feeling good at my placement and it’s nice to have their support. Job hunting can be really tough and working with Mulberry made finding a good fit WAY easier. I can’t tell you how many applications I’ve submitted for jobs directly through Indeed and felt it just went into the void, competing with so many other faceless resumes for each job. After connecting with Stella at Mulberry, I got in for an interview and placed SO fast. Can’t thank them enough!

Abby M., HR Professional

Words cannot describe the phenomenal experience I’ve had working with Jenny Wright. Being a candidate is never easy, but Jenny’s care, honesty, and support throughout the process have been unmatched. She treated me exactly how every candidate wishes to be treated, and I only wish all recruiters approached their work with her level of dedication. Thank you, Mulberry Talent Partners, for such an outstanding experience.

Chris B., HR Leader

I have worked with Mulberry Talent Partners to hire administrative talent for over a decade and with great success. Everyone I have worked with at Mulberry has approached our engagements with the same level of transparency and accountability I have come to expect and enjoy every time I work with Mulberry. Most recently, I worked with Stella Coste to recruit a Benefits Manager for a company I was consulting with. Stella quickly understood the unique challenges that added complicated layers to the role. Within a week, Stella presented an amazing list of passive candidates that would have taken us much longer to produce. I recommend working with Mulberry Talent Partners to anyone seeking to build out their teams in HR, Accounting, and Administration.

Direct Hire Recruitment

Our direct-hiring recruiting connects top talent with clients in Portland and nationwide, across a range of industries. We take a thoughtful and streamlined approach to help employers hire the right long-term fit for their team. Direct-hire services are ideal for your company if you’re hiring for a long-term position and want to ensure the candidate is the right fit from day one. 

Through our extensive Mulberry network, you gain access to both active and passive candidates. When you partner with us, our team takes time to understand your company, culture, and hiring goals. From sourcing to screening to interview coordination and presenting an offer, we manage the process from start to end so you can focus on selecting the right addition to your team.

For more immediate or interim needs, we partner with companies as a temporary employment agency in Portland and nationwide to provide flexible hiring solutions. Our approach allows us to work efficiently within your timeline, budget, and duration to meet your contingent personnel staffing needs within all of our specialty recruiting areas.

Temporary staffing helps bridge the gap when your staff needs additional resources, giving you more flexibility to determine if you need a long-term hiring solution. 

Temporary-to-hire allows you to assess if a candidate fits the role and organization before hiring for a permanent position.

Whether you’re looking for support to complete a project, navigate a transition, or add capacity to your team, we support your hiring needs. We offer both part-time and full-time engagement models, depending on what your organization needs.

Through our process, we connect highly qualified talent and manage every step, from sourcing and screening candidates, interview coordination, and onboarding support, to ensure your new candidate meets the needs of your organization.
