About Us
Newport Williams is a modern staffing agency that prides itself on using an old-school approach to recruitment. While HR and internal recruitment have their place within organizations, they often lack access to the “hidden candidate” market that we tap into. Our strength lies in our relentless pursuit of top talent, leaving no stone unturned in our searches.
- 3-month Candidate Match Guarantee
- You pay nothing, unless you hire one of our candidates
- Complete payrolling and government regulatory support for staff augmentation
- Oracle and Microsoft Partner Networks
Our Approach
At Newport Williams, we believe that the best candidates are often not actively looking for new opportunities. By constantly scouring the market, networking, and building genuine relationships, we uncover those exceptional candidates who are already excelling in their careers. Our method involves quiet, confidential conversations with these professionals, understanding their career aspirations, and matching them with the right opportunities.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to delivering candidates who are already firing on all cylinders – the type of professionals who don’t need to apply for jobs because they are sought after in their fields. Our clients benefit from our deep market insights and our ability to present candidates who perfectly align with their needs and organizational culture.
Why Choose Us?
- Old-School Dedication: Our approach is rooted in traditional values of hard work, integrity, and building trust through personal connections.
- Modern Efficiency: We combine our old-school methods with modern technology to ensure a seamless and efficient recruitment process.
- Hidden Talent Access: Our extensive network and discreet search techniques give us access to high-caliber candidates who are not actively seeking new roles.
- Tailored Solutions: We understand that each client and candidate is unique, and we customize our recruitment strategies to ensure the best fit.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bridge the gap between exceptional talent and the organizations that need them. We strive to create meaningful and lasting connections that drive success for both our clients and candidates.
