As the saying goes: Everything’s bigger in Texas—including your career opportunities! Well, the last part might not be part of the common phrase, but when you take on an entry-level sales role at our Austin, TX office, you’ll be saying the same. Located in the heart of the Lone Star State, our Austin office is a great place to build your new lifelong career in a growing industry: healthcare staffing. In fact, we’re constantly hiring new people to become recruiters and account executives in our modern and beautiful Texas office. Want to know more about why you should work in our Austin, TX office? Here are four reasons that may sway your decision.

1. Close to Popular Cities in Texas

Texas is the second largest state in the United States by land mass, but luckily, our Austin office’s central location in the state means it’s relatively closeby to some of the more popular cities in Texas. Here are some of driving times and distances from our office to other notable cities in the state:

  • Austin, TX to San Antonio, TX: 1 hour 30 minutes by car, approx. 85 miles
  • Austin, TX to Houston, TX: 2 hours and 35 minutes by car, approx. 159 miles
  • Austin, TX to Dallas, TX: 2 hours and 51 minutes by car, approx. 188 miles

2. An Up-And-Coming City

Did you know, in 2022, Austin, TX was named the second fastest-growing city in the United States in a report by the University of North Carolina? Just drive eight minutes from our Texas office’s front door to the heart of downtown Austin, and the city’s energy and booming economy becomes clear. 

Downtown Austin, TX is home to many shops, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and more. But shopping and dining isn’t all Austin has to offer—as the “Live Music Capital of the World,” the city is well known for its musical performances at local businesses and public areas. 

And, if you’re into popular culture, Austin, TX is the place to be—each year, SXSW (South by Southwest), a massive tech, film, music, education, and culture festival, is held in the city. 

3. Amazing Nearby Attractions

Outside of the nearby cities and great shops, bars, and restaurants downtown, Austin has some great attractions and places of interest within its city limits. 

If you’re trying to get away from the scorching heat of Austin, TX summers, consider making a stop at the Barton Springs Pool, a three-acre swimming pool in Zilker Park. This pool maintains an average temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit all year round, thanks to natural underground springs that give it life.

Want to learn more about the history of the Lone Star State? Take a trip to the Bullock Texas State History Museum, the state’s official history museum that has three expansive floors of exhibition galleries, a gift shop, and even an IMAX® Theatre.

4. Barton’s Modern and Eye-Catching Office

Barton Associates first moved to Austin, TX in 2014, but we quickly grew out of our original space. Within five years, our team moved upstairs to a larger, 20,000-square-foot office that offers great amenities for employees. 

Our Austin office features a gym, kitchen and dining area, many large conference rooms, and ping pong tables—which our employees say is maybe the most important amenity of them all.
