Why Not Us

This is all about you. At Muse Search + Inspire we cannot make a difference in the lives we serve or others without you. It all begins with our clients, their needs (the reasonable and far-fetched) and a real consultative dialogue. Our approach is simple and transparent; we engage, seek to understand and search to the ends of the earth to deliver your new talent. We are in the relationship business and believe in giving back - 5% of all our profits to be exact.

It is our tried and true 5x5 search process that allows our expertise to set us apart from the masses with swiftness, efficiency, and focused results. If we engage - we aim to 'Win' - we don't do participation trophies. 

Whether dealing with small local businesses or mid-size rising organizations to fortune 500 corporations, finding the right fit for both client and candidate is our goal; we specialize in direct hire, contract, contract to hire and consulting. Our "circle of influence" is primarily located in the greater Houston area, yet with the aid of technology and years of  building our networks, whether you are around the corner or across the country, our personalized service will make your need our priority.
