Richard, Wayne and Roberts

When Richard, Wayne & Roberts began in 1979, our goal was to operate on a level of professionalism commensurate with that of the companies we work for. We strive to be a business partner, a resource our clients can turn to with confidence to fill key positions in their companies.

Based on our repeat business rate (more than 70 percent of our assignments come from existing clients), we have proven that we are a trustworthy partner. Our recruiters all specialize in a particular industry. Because they do, they know exactly where to start looking for qualified candidates. They also understand special terminology, grasp job requirements quickly, and can better evaluate candidates. Finally, they know what the salary structures are and can help you formulate competitive offers.

We dedicate our work to the development and success of the recruiters we hire, the clients we represent, and the candidates we serve. Richard, Wayne and Roberts' goal is to leave a legacy of lives more fulfilled by our commitment to each of our candidates' and clients' unique talents and needs.

With over 40 years of successful service as a professional search firm, RWR consistently ranks in the Top 5 Permanent Placement Recruiting Firms by the Houston Business Journal; and as one of the Best Professional Recruiting and Executive Search Firms in America, by Forbes.

We recruit on a local, national, and international basis as required for each client engagement.

We are client-focused, keeping you our top priority throughout the placement process.

As an external representative of your company, we assure all candidates are treated with honesty and respect throughout the job search process, and we pride ourselves on communicating feedback promptly.
