Your Talent Partner, From First Conversation to Signed Offer

MJL Recruiting & Consulting is based in Snohomish, WA and serves companies across Washington and every U.S. state.

Hiring the right person shouldn't require you to become an amateur recruiter on top of running your business. We handle the search — sourcing, screening, market insight, and candidate management — so you're only spending your time on the conversations that actually require you: interviewing finalists and making the call.

How does MJL work with employers?

Retained Search — Our most dedicated option. Full focus, a talent market report before you commit, and a shortlist of 3–5 vetted candidates. Learn more →

Contingent Search — No hire, no fee. A lower-commitment option when you want to test the market before committing to a retained engagement. Learn more →

Not sure if contingent or retained is right for you?  Check out our comparison page here.

Hourly + Success Fee — A hybrid model: a smaller upfront retainer plus a success fee on placement — built for companies that want priority without the full retained investment. Ask which model fits →

Consulting Services — Don't need a full search right now? We also help you fix the hiring process itself: job descriptions, interview design, interviewer training, and candidate scoring rubrics. See consulting options →

Who does MJL serve?

MJL Recruiting & Consulting provides recruiting services for small businesses and growing companies of roughly 5 to 175 employees. Most searches are for IT and engineering, legal and professional services roles, so we work as an IT recruiting firm for Seattle-area tech teams as well as a general small business recruiter. Based in Snohomish County, we work with companies in Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, Mill Creek and across every U.S. state.

  • IT/Engineering — Technical roles where a resume alone doesn't tell you who can actually do the job
  • Legal & Professional Services — Paralegals, attorneys, office managers, and support staff, screened for both skill and culture fit. See our legal recruiting page →
  • Growing Small Businesses — Fractional recruiting support for companies from 5 to 175 employees who need senior-level hiring help without a full-time internal recruiter

What does the hiring process look like?

  1. Discovery — We learn your business, your culture, and what this role actually needs to accomplish
  2. Market Report — Before you commit, you get real data on talent availability, timeline, and rough salary range for the role
  3. Sourcing & Screening — We do the outbound work and the first-round vetting, so you only see candidates worth your time
  4. Shortlist & Offer — 3–5 finalists, structured evaluation, and support through offer and close
