Permanent, full-time talent sourced and vetted to your exact requirements. You review a curated shortlist — never a stack of unscreened résumés — and only pay when you hire.
Scale up for a project, a season, or a maternity cover — then convert top performers to permanent with no friction. We handle payroll, compliance, and onboarding.
Discreet, retained search for leadership and hard-to-fill roles. Mapped markets, referenced candidates, and a process designed to protect your brand and theirs.
Act as your embedded talent team. We own sourcing, screening, scheduling, and pipeline reporting so your hiring managers can stay focused on the business.
We don't recruit for everyone. We specialize — which means faster shortlists, sharper vetting, and candidates who actually fit.
Attorneys, paralegals, case managers, and legal support across plaintiff, defense, and corporate practices.
Commercial lenders, relationship managers, BDOs, underwriters, and branch leadership.
Project managers, superintendents, estimators, and preconstruction across commercial and residential.
Controllers, tax associates, senior and lead accountants, and finance leadership.
Civil, design, drainage, and mechanical engineers, plus CAD and project staff.
Underwriters, account managers, executive assistants, and operations leadership.
Most of our placements come from candidates who were never actively looking. Reaching them — and qualifying them — takes a method.
We learn the role, the team, and what "great" looks like — beyond the job description.
We map the market and reach passive talent directly, not just active applicants.
Every candidate is interviewed and reference-checked before they ever reach you.
You receive a tight, qualified shortlist with notes — usually within two weeks.
We manage offers, closing, and onboarding, then stay close through the guarantee period.
We built Optimal Staffing Solutions for the firms tired of agencies that flood inboxes and disappear. We send fewer candidates, vet them harder, and stand behind every placement.
The result is a partner that hiring managers actually want to pick up the phone for.
Your search is run by someone who knows your field — not a generalist working forty unrelated reqs.
Every candidate is screened, referenced, and interested before they reach your desk. No spray-and-pray.
If a direct-hire placement doesn't work out in the guarantee window, we replace them at no additional fee.
On-site, hybrid, or remote — we recruit across the United States with the same standard of diligence.
Headquartered in Dallas, with recruiters embedded in every major U.S. market — on-site, hybrid, or remote, with the same standard of diligence coast to coast.
When a search crosses borders, Optimal delivers through a vetted network of independent recruiting and talent-consulting partners — extending our reach across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific without missing a beat on quality or timeline.
"They sent three candidates. We hired two. That's never happened with an agency before — Optimal actually understood the role."
