Portland Recruiting Services
Direct Hire Recruitment
Our direct-hire recruiting connects top talent with clients in Portland and nationwide, across a range of industries. We take a thoughtful, streamlined approach to help employers hire the right long-term fit for their teams. 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.
Temporary Employment for Portland and National Employers
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 whether a candidate is a good fit for the role and the organization before hiring them permanently.
Need help finishing a project, getting through a transition, or adding more hands to your team? We can support that with engagement models that flex between part-time and full-time, depending on your organization’s needs.
We handle the full process for you: sourcing and screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and supporting onboarding, so the person who joins your team integrates seamlessly.
Executive Search
Mulberry Talent Partners’ executive search brings decades of firsthand experience from both sides of the hiring process: we’ve worked as in-house Talent Acquisition professionals running executive searches and as agency partners placing them.
This dual perspective provides a vast network and deep insight into the strategies that lead to successful executive placements. We leverage this expertise to blend the best of both approaches, ensuring a seamless search process that benefits you and the candidates while helping you find the perfect fit for your organization.
Fractional and Interim Leadership
Our fractional and interim leadership services provide on-demand access to experienced leaders and consultants ready to step in when and where you need them. Unlike contract or temporary staffing, fractional support provides strategic guidance and hands-on execution during periods of transition or growth.
If you need short-term leadership coverage, help navigating a critical business initiative, or additional expertise to support your team, our network of professionals brings the experience and perspective you need to move forward with confidence.
