Houston staffing

Houston staffing agency for industrial, medical, and technical teams

Ascension Staffing recruits for employers across greater Houston, from the Ship Channel to the suburbs. We’re based in Fort Lauderdale and recruit nationwide, with the safety and compliance focus Houston’s industries expect.

Local hiring context

Energy, industry, and medicine

Houston is one of the country’s major centers for energy, refining, and petrochemicals, and the Port of Houston is one of the busiest ports in the United States. The city is also home to the Texas Medical Center, one of the largest medical complexes in the world.

Much of the work around plants, refineries, and port facilities is heavily regulated. Depending on the site, candidates may need specific safety training, hazardous materials credentials, or a TWIC card for access to secure maritime areas. We confirm those requirements at the start of a search, so we screen for them instead of discovering a gap after an offer.

Greater Houston is large and spread out, from Katy and Cypress to The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Pasadena, and Baytown. We match candidates to where your site actually is. The Gulf Coast hurricane season can also create sudden needs for cleanup and restoration crews.

How we work with employers

How it works

How we recruit for Houston

Most recruiting work happens by phone, video, and online, so we can run a Houston search from our base in Fort Lauderdale. The process:

  • We define the role, the site, the shift, the pay, and every required license, endorsement, or safety credential.
  • We source candidates within a realistic commute of your location.
  • We screen by phone and video and verify the credentials the job requires before you meet anyone.
  • We present a shortlist with notes, schedule interviews, and help close the offer.
  • We follow up after the start date to make sure the placement is working.

Temporary staffing and temp-to-hire help cover turnarounds, project work, and seasonal peaks. Direct hire fits permanent technical, supervisory, and specialist roles.
