7. Our Clients
Below are just a few of the clients with whom we are proud to work...
ENCAP I L.P.
Our Founder / President
Before founding Murray Resources in 1988, I worked in the recruiting and staffing
industry for several years. I loved the concept of bringing the right talent and organizations
together, but I didn’t like the way I’d seen it done. I had a vision of building a recruiting firm based
on respect—respect for companies who trust us to help them with important decisions that
influence their bottom lines, and respect for candidates who turn to us at critical points in their
careers and lives.
Staying true to this vision has translated into growth and long-term
success for Murray Resources, our clients, and our candidates. We’re
proud of our reputation and the fact that over half our clients and
applicants are referred to us by colleagues or friends.
If you’re looking for a recruiting firm that takes a different approach—one
that doesn’t waste your time or try to push a square peg through a round
hole for the sake of making a placement—you’ll like what you find at
Murray Resources.
I invite you to visit our website - murrayresources.com - where you can
hear from some of our clients about their experiences working with Murray
Resources.
I also invite you to contact me directly at 713.935.0009. I look forward to hearing from you.
