Company History
While working as a sales manager, Ray Murphy saw firsthand the inconsistent and unfair compensation models Seattle area consulting and contract firms offered to their employees. Too often, the discrepancy between the bill rate and the pay rate led to unhappy employees and higher turnover rates for clients.
Ray was convinced that a better model was not only possible, but sustainable and so he started Murphy & Associates in 1980. It was a modest beginning with his co-founder, Donna Murphy who was the first full-time consultant. Ray also consulted part-time as the company established its roots.
From the start, Ray followed the advice of his favorite mentor: "The more you share, the more you have to share." Put into action, Murphy & Associates implemented a transparent and predictable business model where consultants not only receive a high percentage of the bill rate, they always know their share upfront. His model has allowed us to consistently attract and retain the best consultants in the area and in turn, our clients gain the benefits of highly qualified consultants at an excellent value.
