The Austin Team...
Hamilton Barnes started off in 2014 with two heads, Nick and George in a tiny office in central London. The co-founders had aspirations to grow a successful global agency that did staffing in a modern, innovative way.
Quality of service for clients and creating an inspiring, enjoyable culture internally were prioritized from day one, and in the first two years, we largely focused on laying down strong foundations for headcount growth and expanding service offerings.
We are based in Austin, Texas. We chose this location as it has a central time zone, has great connections to major cities in the United States, is a growing tech hub and is home to the University of Texas. The University will provide us with a great pool of talent as we look to scale the business and we will be able to offer internships, placement years and work experience to Undergraduates studying there or at College in Austin.
