Human Resources Staffing & Recruiting
People decisions shape how an organization grows and supports its workforce. Friedman Williams is a national staffing and recruiting firm helping employers build strong human resources teams across the United States. Our human resources recruiting services support temporary, contract, consulting, project-based and full-time direct hire needs.
HR teams now guide far more than recruiting and employee administration. Their work may span workforce planning, compensation, benefits, professional development, workplace programs, systems and organizational change. Friedman Williams helps clients identify candidates whose experience fits both the work and the organization.
Human Resources Recruiting Built Around the Organization
An HR position cannot be evaluated by title alone. Responsibilities vary with company size, department structure and business stage. A role may be highly specialized in one organization and cover several parts of the employee lifecycle in another.
Our recruiters learn how the position functions inside the organization, including its reporting relationships, workforce priorities and internal partnerships. This context allows us to conduct a focused HR recruiting search and introduce candidates who understand the scope of the opportunity.
Every candidate we present has been personally interviewed and reference-checked on previous work history, technical ability and education before a resume is submitted. Because Friedman Williams recruits nationwide, we support local, multi-office and specialized searches.

HR Staffing Across the Employee Lifecycle
Friedman Williams recruits human resources professionals across functional areas and experience levels. We use broad areas of responsibility rather than a fixed list of titles because many HR positions combine specialties.
HR Leadership and People Strategy
We recruit HR leadership professionals who turn business priorities into workforce plans, policies and people programs, from functional managers through senior leaders responsible for organization-wide HR strategy.
Talent Acquisition and Workforce Planning
We support searches across talent acquisition, recruiting operations, workforce planning, employer branding and related hiring functions, from hands-on delivery through program and team leadership.
Compensation, Benefits and Payroll
Friedman Williams recruits across compensation, benefits administration, payroll, total rewards and related functions that influence employee attraction, retention and trust.
HR Operations, Systems and Employee Support
Our recruiting work includes HRIS, employee data, onboarding, policy administration, compliance, employee relations and other HR operations that keep processes consistent and employees supported.
Professional Development and Workplace Programs
We recruit across professional development, learning programs, performance management, organizational effectiveness, inclusion initiatives and other programs that support workforce engagement and growth.
If an HR position does not fit neatly into one category, it is still worth a conversation. Many important searches involve blended responsibilities that a standard title cannot capture.
Flexible Human Resources Staffing Solutions
HR needs may arise during growth, leave coverage, a systems implementation, a recruiting surge or an organizational transition. Friedman Williams provides temporary staffing, contract staffing, consulting, project staffing, direct hire recruiting and executive search so clients can choose an approach that fits the work and timeframe.
For contract and consulting engagements, Friedman Williams manages payroll administration, taxation, workers’ compensation, medical benefits and unemployment insurance.
For Employers
How an HR Search Works
The search begins with the work, not simply the job description. Our recruiters clarify the role’s priorities, key relationships and measures of success, then use established candidate relationships and active recruiting to identify professionals whose experience and working style align with the opportunity.
We present relevant candidates rather than a high volume of resumes. The recruiter who learns the role stays involved as interviews progress and decisions are made.
For Candidates
For Human Resources Professionals Considering a Move
HR careers can develop through deeper specialization, broader leadership, a new industry or a different organization. Our recruiters begin by understanding your experience and goals before discussing temporary, contract, consulting, project or full-time direct hire opportunities. Every conversation is confidential.
Our team remains involved from interview preparation through the start of a new role, with the goal of building a relationship that continues beyond one placement.
