Why Novus Staffing

Built by Engineers, for Engineering Teams

Novus Staffing started with a simple loan of our engineers to one of our clients and grew into one of the largest staffing companies in the greater Portland region. We did it by focusing on three things:

  • Recruit strong technical talent we'd want to work with
  • Treat them as internal engineers with great pay, benefits, and development opportunities
  • Maintain great relationships with our clients' technical leaders for long-lasting partnerships
