The Ford Agency

Specialties

Since 1978, The Ford Agency has helped match Washington’s premier professionals with hundreds of leading businesses, political action groups and non-​profits in the D.C. Metro area.

For over 30 years, The Ford Agency has been recognized and recommended by clients for its unique approach to staffing. We take the time to understand what’s important to you: corporate culture, goals, qualifications and position demands, while providing unparalleled support throughout the recruitment process. To ensure the best match, we rigorously screen candidates and identify their strengths according to your specific position requirements. Unlike other agencies, Ford’s approach to every placement is conducted in a non-​competitive atmosphere, where all staff members collaborate as a team to identify and match the best candidate for the job.

History

Established in 1978.

Co-​founded by Diana Ford and Barbara Pisarra, who both worked as recruiters before starting the company, The Ford Agency was formed to meet the area’s growing demand for a more personalized placement experience. Today, both Barbara and Diana are still active recruiters within the company and maintain regular contact with clients, many of whom have worked with Ford since its founding.

Historically, The Ford Agency has helped clients fill positions in the areas of office management, clerical support, accounting, human resources and all legal support services. Over the last decade, however, The Ford Agency’s expertise has expanded to include information technology, marketing and communications fields. We are a dynamic organization, capable of adapting with D.C.‘s evolving job market and in-​demand positions.
