Why hiring managers call us

Candidates fail late

An offer falls apart over citizenship or clearance after weeks of interviews. We settle those questions before you see a name.

Government-contract experience is thin

DCMA, CMMC and contract-flowdown experience is rare. We screen for it directly.

Program seats can't wait

An open program manager seat puts deliveries and the customer relationship at risk. We send a shortlist in about two weeks.

The supplier side of the defense industrial base

Defense electronics, cable and harness, castings, precision machining and the program teams that manage government contracts. We screen for the requirements that disqualify people late in other searches.

Questions

Can you recruit for roles that need a security clearance?

Yes. We confirm clearance level and status during the phone screen, and we tell you early when the pool for a cleared role is thin.

How does your fee work?

Contingent search: there is no retainer and no fee unless you hire a candidate we introduce. The fee is a percentage of first-year base salary, invoiced on the start date, and covered by a replacement guarantee. We send the one-page terms on the first call.

How fast will we see candidates?

Usually about two weeks from the kickoff call to three to five phone-screened candidates, each with recruiter notes.

Do we have to give you the search exclusively?

No. Keep your own posting and other sources running. You only pay if you hire someone we introduced.
