The Track Record

Proof, not promises.

The difference between a fractional TA partner and a staffing agency is what they leave behind. Here's what 20+ years of showing up directly looks like.

Directed full-cycle recruiting across multimillion-dollar DoD contracts: C5ISR, Space, Missile Defense, SAP, and Intelligence programs. Cleared technical roles that the market said were unfillable, filled.

DoD & Cleared ProgramsDefense contracting firm: TA leadership across major defense program portfolios

Built the entire TA infrastructure from scratch: iCIMS ATS, CRM, automated sourcing workflows, and screening tools. Cut average time-to-fill from 12+ months to 25 days on cleared techical roles.

TA Infrastructure BuildGrowth-stage engineering company: built from zero, not inherited or patched

Consistently recognized as a top performer, the person who raises the bar on hiring quality, recruiter capability, and business results. A 20+ year track record of doing the work, not just managing it.

Consistent Top PerformanceMultiple employers across defense, tech, and growth-stage sectors
The Math Is Simple

Agency fees vs. embedded TA: the real cost.

Contingency Agency Model
Three hires at 20% success fee
  • 3 hires at avg $150K salary each
  • 20% contingency per placement = $30K each
  • Total agency fees: $90,000
  • No guarantee of fit, timeline, or process improvement
  • Knowledge walks out the door with the agency
  • Every new search starts from zero
Total cost: $90,000 and you still don't own the process
VS
Hire Up Resources: Embedded Retainer
Three-month embedded partnership
  • 3-month Growth retainer covering those same 3 hires
  • All hires, unlimited sourcing, full-cycle execution
  • ATS setup and process built for every search after
  • Average 25-day TTF on cleared and technical roles
  • You own the pipeline, the process, and the relationships
  • Every search gets faster, not slower
Total cost: ~$28,500 and you own the process forever
