Hyring is an AI-native staffing agency serving Texas companies with a flat 14% direct-hire commission, published on this page, plus RPO, staff augmentation, and employer of record services priced roughly 30% below big-firm quotes. Every candidate you review has already completed a first-round AI interview, recording and score included.
One honest line before the pitch: our US office is on Market Street in San Francisco, not in Texas, and we will never pretend otherwise. Our Texas coverage runs on something better than a branch address: a pre-interviewed candidate database, a Recruiting Partners network of thousands of independent recruiters, and a screening engine built across 900,000+ AI interviews for Fortune 500 companies. For the software, finance, sales, and operations roles that dominate modern Texas hiring, that engine beats a local lobby every week of the quarter.
Texas Workforce Data Employers Can Actually Use
Texas has a civilian labor force of about 15.9 million and 2.19 million professional and business services jobs, which sets the context for any hiring plan in the state.
Scale is not the same as supply. These are the public figures worth knowing before you brief a role, each with what it does and does not tell you as an employer.
15.9M
Civilian labor force
The statewide pool is enormous, but the relevant pool for your role shrinks fast once skills, metro, schedule, and compensation are applied.
14.47M
Total nonfarm employment
Most Texas workers are already employed, which is why passive sourcing and a credible pitch matter more than job-board volume.
2.19M
Professional and business services jobs
The white-collar base Hyring recruits into. It shows scale of the sector, not a count of available candidates.
4.4%
Unemployment rate
A tight-ish market. At this level most strong candidates are employed and weighing counteroffers, so speed of decision decides outcomes.
214.5K
Information sector jobs
Tech employment sits across sectors, so this undercounts engineering demand. Treat it as a floor, not a ceiling.

Texas is several labor markets, not one. Salary, competition, and candidate expectations differ materially between them.
The Texas Hiring Landscape in 2026
Texas hiring runs on energy, technology, healthcare, logistics, and corporate relocations, with no state income tax fueling continued talent migration.
Texas keeps absorbing corporate America. Headquarters relocations into Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin, energy and petrochemical hiring anchored in Houston, one of the country's largest medical centers driving healthcare and life-sciences roles, and a logistics web running through DFW, San Antonio, and the border trade corridor. Layer the tech build-out, semiconductors in North Texas, software in Austin, and the picture is a state hiring across every function at once.
For employers, the catch is competition. The same no-state-income-tax advantage that pulls companies in pulls rival employers in too, and strong candidates in Dallas or Austin routinely hold multiple offers. Speed and evidence win here: a shortlist that arrives in 72 hours with interview recordings attached closes candidates that a three-week consultant cycle loses to the company across the highway.
Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Everywhere Between
Hyring runs dedicated coverage for Texas's three flagship metros and serves the rest of the state through the same remote-first engine.
Houston
Energy, petrochemicals, the Texas Medical Center, and the industrial finance that runs it all. Strong demand in engineering, finance, and healthcare administration.
Dallas
Corporate HQ country: banking, insurance, telecom, logistics, and a deep semiconductor belt. The state's biggest white-collar hiring market.
Austin
Software, SaaS, and startup hiring with West Coast expectations at Texas costs. The most competitive tech talent market in the state.
San Antonio, Fort Worth, El Paso, and the rest of the state route through the same engine: because sourcing runs on the candidate database and partner network rather than branch geography, a Lubbock employer gets the same 72-hour shortlist an Austin one does.
What Top Roles Pay Across Texas
Texas salaries vary up to 15% between metros, with Austin tech and Houston energy engineering setting the top of the market.

Staffing Fees in Texas, Compared
Texas employers typically report 20 to 30% direct-hire fees and 40 to 60% temp markups, against Hyring's published flat 14% commission.

Competitor figures are typical reported ranges; Hyring commission is published
And for remote-capable roles there is a second lever entirely: a dedicated senior engineer in India through our IT staff augmentation typically runs $45,000 to $65,000 a year fully loaded, salary included, against $200,000+ for a Texas contractor at big-firm bill rates, on US-overlap hours, employed and payrolled by us. See how that compares with the national firms on our TEKsystems vs Experis and Randstad vs Robert Half breakdowns.
How Hyring Delivers in Texas
Every candidate arrives pre-interviewed by AI, sourced by thousands of recruiting partners, and tracked in one portal instead of an email chain.
Texas moves fast enough that evidence beats introductions: a shortlist with interview recordings closes candidates that a three-week consultant cycle loses to the company across the highway. Six things run in the background of every shortlist we send:
Round one, already done
Every candidate completes an AI first round before you see them: video, coding, phone, or the English test where communication carries the role. You start at round two.
Every applicant ranked
The AI Resume Screener scores the full funnel against your brief, so nothing good gets buried under volume.
A video-first talent pool
Candidates join through Hyring Jobs, presenting on camera and interviewing as they apply. The database is assessed, not just collected.
Thousands of recruiters, not one
The Recruiting Partners network puts specialist recruiters on your role, paid on placements, every submission passing the same screen. A consultancy gives you one recruiter with eleven other mandates.
Panel rounds in Hyring Meet
Interviews are scheduled and held in Hyring Meet, our own video platform, so invites and recordings stay attached to the candidate record.
Transparency after the hire
Augmented and remote teams run on Insight by Hyring: tracked hours and focus patterns, employees seeing their own data first. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.
All of it lands in one portal. Every candidate uploaded with recording and score attached, clear stages your whole team can see, feedback captured on the profile instead of an email thread, and a timestamped trail when a role reopens. That process discipline is why a 72-hour shortlist stays a 72-hour shortlist instead of decaying into a fortnight of chasing.
The Full Service Stack for Texas Employers
Direct hire at 14% flat anchors a stack that includes RPO, staff augmentation, IT staff augmentation, employer of record, and global hiring.
Services available to Texas companies
| Service | Best for | Pricing shape |

| Direct hire | Permanent roles across functions | Flat 14% commission |
| RPO services | Outsourcing part or all of recruitment | ~30% below big-firm quotes |
| Staff augmentation | Dedicated professionals on your projects | ~30% below big-firm quotes |

| Employer of record | Employing remote talent compliantly without new entities | Per-employee monthly |
| Global hiring | Texas companies building teams beyond the US | 14% rest of world, 7% India |
Hyring vs a Local, National, or In-House Option
Hyring fits employers who want published pricing, screening evidence, and wide sourcing reach; a local branch agency fits roles that depend on neighborhood networks and in-person contact.
Not every Texas role should come to us, and a comparison table that pretends otherwise is worth nothing. Here is the honest layout.
Four ways to fill a Texas role
| Decision factor | Hyring | Local Texas agency | National firm | In-house recruiting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct-hire pricing | Published flat 14% | Quoted, typically 20–30% | Quoted, often program-specific | Salaries, tools, and ad spend |
| First-round evidence | AI interview recordings and scores on every candidate | Varies by recruiter | Varies by practice and tier | Whatever your process produces |
| Employer visibility | Live portal: stages, evidence, decisions | Email, calls, shared files | Enterprise reporting on larger accounts | Your own ATS |
| On-site presence in Texas | None. Remote-first from our San Francisco office | Local offices and in-person contact | Branches in selected metros | Your own team on the ground |
| Best fit | Evidence, speed, and fee-sensitive hiring across metros | Roles needing a neighborhood network or frequent on-site contact | Large enterprise workforce programs with procurement scale | Steady, predictable hiring volume |
If your role is a warehouse supervisor who must be walked through a facility on day one, take the local agency. If it is a software engineer, controller, account executive, or ops manager, the local lobby adds nothing that our portal and interview recordings do not already give you, at a lower fee.
Texas Employment Notes Worth Knowing
Texas is an at-will, right-to-work state with no state income tax and enforceable non-competes, all of which shape hiring strategy.
Three practical notes, offered as general information rather than legal advice. First, Texas enforces reasonable non-competes, unlike California, so senior candidates may carry live restrictions; we surface these during screening, before your offer stage. Second, no state income tax makes Texas relocation offers arithmetically stronger, a genuine lever when recruiting from coastal metros, and our Learn hub guides cover how to frame it. Third, at-will employment cuts both ways: it eases exits but also feeds the counteroffer culture in hot metros, which is why we screen for genuine intent to move, not just skill.
