About FOM Recruiting & Staffing

  • Morris Arnold has always been passionate about people, relationships, and purpose. He believes work matters—not just because it pays the bills, but because it shapes confidence, direction, and the way people provide for their families.

    That belief is what led him to start FOM Recruiting & Staffing.

    Morris built his career leading high-performing recruiting and staffing teams across the maritime and industrial space, helping companies scale fast while still keeping people at the center of the work. Over the years, he’s led teams of recruiters, recruiting managers, and operations staff, along with large networks of contractors supporting mission-critical projects. He’s known for building service-first teams through clear expectations, practical training, and hands-on coaching—improving speed, quality, and retention for clients who can’t afford hiring mistakes.

    But the “why” behind FOM is deeper than business.

    In the Gospel, Jesus calls fishermen and tells them, “I will make you fishers of men.” Morris has always connected with that picture—because recruiting is about casting the right nets, building the right relationships, and finding the right people at the right time.

  • Our mission is to connect great people with great companies—faster than anyone else

  • Just as Jesus said, “I will make you fishers of men,” we help companies find the right people by casting the right nets, building strong relationships, and leading with integrity. Through it all, we aim to be ambassadors of Christ in the workplace and a trusted manpower partner to our clients.

  • FOM Recruiting & Staffing is a specialized recruiting and industrial staffing firm serving maritime, shipbuilding, industrial, oil & gas, and power generation markets. The firm delivers:

    • Direct hire search for professional, managerial, and executive roles

    • Onshore industrial contracting / staff augmentation for skilled trades and technical labor

Your Mission Matters.
You Just Need the Right People.

Every company has a mission. Whether you’re trying to hit production goals, complete a project, fill a leadership gap, or keep a jobsite running safely—your success depends on having the right people in the right seats.

That’s where FOM comes in.

FOM exists to support the client—the builder, the operator, the leader—by bringing the network, urgency, and execution it takes to win in today’s market. Morris understands what it feels like to be an employer without enough hands, and he also understands what it feels like to be the worker who’s been laid off, fired, or left unsure of what’s next.

That’s why FOM serves both sides of the table:

  • helping businesses hire with confidence

  • and helping candidates step into work with clarity and purpose

A Different Kind of Staffing Partner

FOM Recruiting & Staffing isn’t trying to be the biggest firm in the industry—it’s focused on being the most trusted.

Morris leads with a people-first, results-driven approach rooted in servant leadership. He partners closely with clients to understand what success looks like, move quickly, and deliver talent that fits—not just on paper, but in the real world.

At FOM, relationships come first. Because good people need good people. And when the right connections are made, everyone wins.

Faith at the Core.

Founder & Managing Partner

Morris’s goal is simple: to honor Christ in the way he works, leads, and serves. He believes business is a mission field and that integrity, excellence, and genuine care still matter.

Outside of work, Morris serves at Grace Houston as a board member and part of the preaching team, and he volunteers in the church’s tech and production ministry. He lives in the Houston area with his wife Ashlie and their two boys, Morris Lee Arnold III and Isaiah Judah Arnold.

If your company needs the right people to move forward—or you’re a candidate looking for the right opportunity—FOM would be honored to help.
