Frequently asked questions
What's your relationship with the major DoD primes?
We are an independent recruiting firm, not exclusive to any prime. We've worked alongside primes of every tier, from the largest Fortune 100 defense firms down to small business 8(a) primes.
Do you support OCONUS contracts?
Yes, when the contract terms permit. OCONUS staffing has its own constraints: medical clearance, country team coordination, and family-status considerations. We surface these at intake.
