About 52 Limited.
Twenty years placing the people who build what's next.
52 Limited is a boutique staffing firm founded in Portland in 2005. We specialize in creative, digital, and technology talent, placing contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire professionals with companies nationwide.
We operate differently. Every search is handled by a senior recruiter. No handoffs. No junior coordinators. No resume dumps. Just experienced people who know the market and respect your time.
A boutique firm with national reach.
Founded in Portland, OR 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.
Grew into a nationally recognized firm, placing talent at Nike, Adidas, Microsoft, Wieden+Kennedy, and hundreds of others. Senior recruiter on every search, no exceptions.
Became an AI-native firm. We use the same tools the best talent teams in the world use, paired with two decades of market knowledge to deliver better results, faster.
Industry-leading focus.
We exclusively place creative and technology talent. Not everything -- just the space we know better than anyone else in the Pacific Northwest.
Your success is the metric.
We offer paid sick leave, health insurance, and voluntary benefits. Our team checks in regularly, advocates for your needs, and stays connected long after placement.
Unparalleled in the PNW.
Our reputation was built here in Portland and it travels. A tenured team placing world-class talent across the United States for twenty years and counting.
