Mission When people are your business every single day, the “People First” mentality stated in our Core Values does start with our customers; it begins with our team of dedicated employees. Our incredible team of tenured staff aren’t just co-workers, we are a family. We work hard, and we celebrate success. Even though it is our job to help companies and careers grow among candidates and employers outside our organization, we also pride ourselves in taking strides to increase internal employee engagement and retention.

We Own It: We own our opportunities, our successes, our relationships, our challenges, and our company.
Do The Right Thing: We use our moral compass as our guide. “We” before “me” mentality.
Exceed Expectations: Strive to go above and beyond.
People First: Respect for our clients, candidates, and team = success for our company as owners. We treat others the way we would want to be treated.

Description Established in 1974, Burnett Personnel Services was founded by Sue Burnett with just five employees. Using her car as collateral and a $10,000 loan for the start-up, by the end of the first year, she had created a profitable company. Today, Burnett Specialists boasts an outstanding portfolio of 9 offices in 6 major Texas cities, including Houston, The Woodlands, El Paso, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas. In Dallas, we operate as Choice Specialists.
Over the past 50 years, Burnett has steadily grown into a nationally-certified, woman-owned business as well as the largest employee-owned staffing and recruiting agency in Texas.
Being an employee-owned company gives us an edge over our competitors because each employee exhibits and practices an “owner mentality.” Our candidates and client employers work side-by-side with an employee-owner of the company through every step of the hiring process.
