Perhaps what most sets Whitaker apart is our belief that good chemistry between candidate and client goes beyond what's listed in a job description - and it's our job to define that chemistry and base our search on those criteria in addition to skills and work experience. Our recruiters are career professionals who specialize in your industry, are intensely trained to enable them to reach a deeper understanding of your needs.

Whitaker IT specializes in recruitment of mid to senior level IT professionals nationwide for even the most challenging requirements. We have been growing and pruning our network of recruitment professionals domestically and internationally for over 25 years. We provide technical and engineering staffing solutions for the midstream, downstream energy and chemical process, and manufacturing industries nationwide.

One firm, one call, all your needs fulfilled quickly and efficiently with industry-leading talent. Founded in 1983, Whitaker is one of the nation's most respected names in professional recruiting - and the reason is simple. Across all of our services, we set a higher standard.

We are privately held and based in Houston, Texas - with additional offices in Dallas / Fort Worth - and are small enough to be nimble yet large enough to be flexible to rapidly change to your staffing and recruiting needs.Our national staffing divisions - Whitaker IT and Whitaker Technical - collaborate to meet all your staffing needs, contract or direct-hire, for a variety of positions focused within our niche companies.
No matter the industry, when it comes to finding and providing the staffing and direct hire search services you need, it always pays in the long run to do the job right the first time. Bringing on new talent who don't mesh with your team or don't have the necessary experience and skill set can do more harm than good impeding progress or slowing the pace.

I have known Linda for several years and have consistently been impressed with her recruitment and communication skills. It's a rare thing to be able to discuss the nuances, trends and directions of your industry with a recruiter. It's even more rare for a recruiter to understand and empathize with very technical people.
Whitaker Companies offers opportunities for recruiters and business development professionals with a desire to succeed in the staffing industry. We offer exceptional opportunities for people who have the abilities and drive to succeed in the recruiting business. Our business model is also based on the idea that a truly good recruiter is as rare and valuable as a Whitaker Qualified candidate and must be treated and groomed as a professional.

Working with Whitaker is a great experience. And still continuing the journey with enormous satisfaction. Especially with Paul. the more we praise the less words about him. He is a genuine professional and a man of word. Prompt response and understanding nature at every scenario. I personally thankful to Paul from all the deeps of my hear for helping me through the process as well as supporting me thereafter and also go out their ways to help the consultants in achieving their demands.

I'm currently working as contract consultant for Whitaker at a client facility. The hiring process was smooth and easy. The Whitaker rep has been friendly and stayed in contact throughout the contract, providing client feedback. If an issue arises, he acts as liaison with the client. It's been the best, most personal experience I've had as a contractor. At Whitaker you're not just a cog in the machine.

Whitaker Companies are very professional and personable all at the same time! Paul Choudhuri and Patricia Simpson go above and beyond to meet not only the client's needs but also to place consultants in exactly the right place. Both communicated and followed through on my every need. They have been supportive and warm and anticipated my questions even before I knew what to ask. If you are a client with a need ... CALL Them! If you a consultant looking for a job ... CALL Them! Well done ... Whitaker Companies!

I've worked off and on with Whitaker Companies for a few years, and they have always been super helpful and attentive. I've been trying to confirm my employment, and the professional I was working with went above and beyond. She responded to my emails late into the evenings, expedited my request, and really made the process easier. I would absolutely recommend Whitaker Companies.

Whitaker is a great partner of ours at IDI Consulting. I work directly with Paul and have a great two way relationship with him where we both provide each help when needed. They communicate clearly and are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend working with Whitaker in any way possible whether it is as a vendor, customer, or partner.

We employed this group a few years ago and had a great experience. All of the members are wonderful and they were able to fill my jobs quickly. What was most impressive was the responsiveness and the dedication to find best talent to fill our job openings.
The admin and ownership play a key role to the success of any organizations business and they support the recruiters well to avoid any last minute issues here at Whitaker. You will not be disappointed.
