About Us
Dawson & Dawson, Inc. is a national recruiting, search, and staffing specialist focused on ethical talent sourcing, workforce continuity, and succession-focused hiring across core business functions. The organization primarily supports companies and corporations through requirement-driven recruiting, sourcing qualified professionals aligned with defined role requirements, operational needs, and long-term business stability.
Core recruiting services include Accounting & Finance, Administration, Human Resources, Operations, Sales & Marketing, Executive Leadership (C-Suite), and Legal Support Roles, such as Paralegals and Legal Assistants. Dawson & Dawson emphasize accurate talent matching, retention risk awareness, and succession planning to help organizations navigate talent scarcity, leadership transitions, and evolving workforce expectations.
Guided by the principle of Purpose. People. Partnership., Dawson & Dawson operates as a recruiting specialist that matches people to purpose through partnership, approaching every engagement as a collaborative, long-term relationship rather than a transactional placement.
As AI continues to influence recruiting and candidate evaluation, Dawson & Dawson applies ethical, human-governed use of AI tools to support talent sourcing and vetting. AI is used as a decision-support resource, not a replacement for professional judgment, ensuring fairness, context, and accountability remain central to hiring decisions.
In addition to its core recruiting services, Dawson & Dawson maintains a specialized legal recruiting capability focused on proactive attorney search. Legal recruiting specializes in attorney placements nationwide, including Equity Partner, Non-Equity Partner, Of Counsel, and Associate roles, and operates through relationship-based, market-driven engagement aligned with the realities of the legal employment market.
Our Story
Dawson & Dawson, Inc. was founded in Southern California and has proudly grown into a national search and staffing firm serving clients and candidates across the United States.
For more than four decades, Founder & CEO Kathy Dawson has been passionate about connecting people, talent, and opportunity. After rising to the executive ranks of a national staffing firm, leading more than 120 employees across 30 branches, Kathy founded Dawson & Dawson on St. Patrick’s Day, 2008 with a simple but powerful mission: to set a higher standard in search and staffing through Purpose, People, and Partnership. Her vision remains the same today: to deliver exceptional service through integrity, collaboration, and adaptability, helping businesses grow and people thrive. That vision continues to drive our team every day.
