How you fill 52 weeks is your business. Helping you fill them is our business.

Our Story

52 Limited began more than a decade ago as Portland’s only locally-owned creative staffing agency and has grown to serve some of the world’s most recognizable and forward-thinking companies in Portland, Seattle, Austin, and San Francisco. For eight years we were laser-focused on strategically matching the right creative and marketing professionals with the right company. It’s what we did. 52 weeks a year.

As technology grew more important in each of our lives, we evolved our staffing business to meet the growing tech needs of our brand, agency and corporate clients. We built out a team of experienced technical recruiters and managers to complement the creative staffing excellence for which we’ve always been known. Within two years, technology placements came to represent fully half of our business.

Now 52 Limited is a digital resource company connecting creative + technology talent with leading brands, marketing and engineering departments, start-ups, design firms, advertising and interactive agencies. As a boutique agency born and bred in design-obsessed Portland during a tech renaissance, we're high touch and highly knowledgeable.

And, for those in the back, we'll say it loud: 52 Limited unequivocally supports diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring practices. We'll let our longtime partnerships with PDXWIT, Partners in Diversity, STEM like a Girl, and TechTown speak to this commitment.
