The Problem

Your company doesn't need another consultant. It needs a commando.

Traditional recruiting gives you resumes. We give you operators who've already done the job.

Your team is underperforming. Turnover is bleeding you dry. You’ve paid for training that changed nothing.

  • What if your next hire actually delivered?

  • What if they actually stayed?

  • What if they already had the skills your expensive training was supposed to teach them?

That’s what veterans bring. Discipline. Leadership. Accountability. They don’t need hand-holding. They get it done. That’s the difference between hiring someone who says they can lead, and someone who has.

What We Do

We place the leader you've been trying to hire.

Elite military operators, vetted by Special Operations personnel, dropped into the roles where your leadership is breaking down.

Operations are breaking down

You need someone who can run the day to day without being managed. We place operators who have done it under real pressure.

Turnover is bleeding you dry

People don't leave companies, they leave leaders. We place the kind people stay for.

You are the bottleneck

Every decision routes through you. We place a second in command who takes the load and makes the call.

FAQs

Got a question?

Everything you need to know before working with us.

We place elite military veterans into leadership and operations roles at companies that need them. Every candidate is personally vetted by Special Operations personnel. You tell us what's broken, we match you with an operator who has already solved it. Book a call and we'll tell you straight whether we can help.

Any industry that needs disciplined leadership. We've placed veterans in tech, construction, logistics, healthcare, finance, and more. The skills are transferable. The character isn't something you can train.

Either a contingent success fee, where you pay only when we place someone, or a monthly talent membership for reduced contingent success fees and early access to our elite veteran talent pipeline. Book a call and we'll give you a straight answer.

Our placements stick because we vet for fit, not just resumes. That said, we stand behind every placement. Book a call and we'll walk you through our guarantee.

Depends on the role. Some placements happen in weeks. Others take longer for senior leadership positions. We don't rush a bad fit just to close a deal.

That's exactly what the strategy call is for. Tell us what's going on with your team and we'll tell you honestly whether an operator is the answer. If it isn't, we'll say so.
