About Us

The Ford Agency stays focused on these core values: providing services to our clients and candidates that demonstrate respect for all, a commitment to ethical recruiting practices, and genuinely giving our full attention to every opening.
Every organization has a unique culture and, while we have a very hard-working and focused team, we also like to have FUN. We engage with each other, support each other, and come together to collaborate, creating not just a working group, but a truly friendly community of professionals who share a mission.
The Ford Agency is a woman-owned small business that provides temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct hire placements along with professional services to clients throughout DC, MD, and VA.
