About 52 Limited.
Twenty years placing the people who build what's next.
52 Limited is a boutique staffing and recruiting firm founded in Portland, Oregon in 2005. We specialize in creative, digital, and technology talent, placing contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire professionals with leading companies nationwide.
We operate differently than large staffing firms. Every search is handled by a senior recruiter. No handoffs. No junior coordinators. Just experienced people who know the market and respect your time.
We are an AI-native firm. We use the same tools the best talent teams in the world use, and we pair them with two decades of market knowledge to deliver better results, faster.
A boutique firm with national reach.
We started with a simple belief: that the best talent deserved better advocates, and that the best companies deserved a recruiting partner who actually understood their work. That belief has not changed. We have placed talent at Nike, Adidas, Microsoft, Wieden+Kennedy, Providence, and hundreds of others. Each placement has been led by a senior recruiter who owned the search from brief to close.
“The best placement is not the fastest one. It is the one that still looks right two years later.”
