Friedman Williams is a national staffing and recruiting firm trusted to fill the roles that decide how an organization runs, from executive search and C-suite recruiting to the specialized professionals who keep the business moving every day.
Who You Partner With Matters
For over two decades, Friedman Williams has placed talent across Accounting and Finance, Legal (Attorney and Paralegal), Information Technology, Administrative, Human Resources, and Marketing and Business Development for Am Law 100 and NLJ 500 law firms, Fortune 1000 corporations, mid-market firms and small, privately held businesses alike.
At many firms, a senior recruiter wins your business and a junior associate runs the search. Friedman Williams works the other way. The person who learns your business stays on it, start to finish. Our professional recruiting staff averages over a decade in the staffing industry, and every candidate we present has been personally interviewed and reference-checked before you ever see a resume. That continuity is what makes a placement last, and it is why clients and candidates come back to us throughout their careers.

Every Hire Starts with a Conversation
Hiring looks different depending on the situation. Sometimes you need someone tomorrow. Sometimes you need a six-month search. From front desk to C-suite, Friedman Williams offers staffing services built around that reality.
Each of these options starts with a consultative process. Our recruiters spend time understanding the role, the team, the pace of the work environment and the expectations on both sides. The upfront investment is what separates a placement that lasts from one that doesn’t.
For organizations that use contract or consulting staffing, Friedman Williams takes on the administrative burden. That means we handle human resource issues, payroll and accounting, federal, state and local taxation, workers’ compensation liability, medical benefits and unemployment insurance so your internal teams can stay focused on their core responsibilities.

Recruiters Who Know Your World
Friedman Williams supports clients across every industry, with a particularly deep presence in law firms, financial services and corporate legal and business teams. We understand how these organizations actually operate, from law firm recruiting to accounting and financial services recruiting, so we screen for fit, not just a resume match.
Within those industries, Friedman Williams has dedicated recruiting teams built around the disciplines that matter most: Accounting and Finance, Administrative Support, Attorney Staffing, Human Resources, Information Technology, Marketing and Business Development, and Paralegal Staffing.
When a law firm calls about a Paralegal placement, the recruiter already knows the role, the day-to-day, not just the job description. When a financial services company needs a Controller, we know what to screen for beyond it.
That structure is the difference. Our professional recruiting staff averages a decade of experience in the staffing industry, and the depth of knowledge shows up in every conversation and every placement.
Friedman Williams maintains an extensive candidate database built over years of active recruiting across these disciplines. Combined with established relationships with some of the nation’s most respected employers, we identify and present the right candidate quickly and cost-effectively.
