Staffing Agencies and Recruiters in Seattle
Dominated by Amazon and Microsoft, but the surrounding ecosystem — cloud infrastructure, gaming, e-commerce technology — means significant hiring outside those two anchors. DevOps, cloud architecture, and backend engineering roles are disproportionately available.
How this list is made: 9 recruiting firms headquartered in the Seattle area, each described from its own website (specialisations, placement types, seniority), with the date its details were checked. Firms headquartered elsewhere that also have a Seattle office are listed after them.
