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.
Our Mission
Purpose. People. Partnership. That’s our mission, to create meaningful connections that empower businesses to succeed and people to find work worth doing.
