Routhier Placement Specialists was the first agency in Boston founded by a woman and run by a woman.

Established in 1964, by Catherine Routhier, a pioneer in her own right, in the world of placement. She was encouraged by the legal community to start an agency with ethics and integrity. The result was the birth of a company which has been well rooted in the business community for nearly forty years. She used her entrepreneurial skills to create a service upon which law firms and corporations have relied and on which they still rely.

Catherine Routhier believed in basic principles for an agency: ethics, honesty, integrity, talent, intelligence and sheer hard work.

The new generation has carried on her tradition. Tom Routhier is an attorney with extensive business experience. Joy Sweeney joined Routhier after graduating from college and working for a couple of years in the Boston Legal Community. She brought her entrepreneurial insight and instincts to the company. She has worked to continue the unique and personal vision which Catherine Routhier courageously began in 1964.

Together, for twenty-five years, Tom Routhier and Joy Sweeney have brought energy and dedication to the business of personnel placement and career counseling. They have maintained and reinvigorated the principles upon which Routhier Personnel was founded.

We have always believed in setting a standard of excellence for personnel placement. This standard is now followed by many other agencies. We defined the principles of ethics and responsibility for which other agencies now strive.

The values established by Catherine Routhier are still practiced today by the management, the recruiters and the staff of Routhier Placement Specialists. Our commitment is to use those principles and ideas to work for you in your search for a new career.
