Ken Selzer and his team at DefensePlacements proved to be a highly reactive, professional organization that rises to the challenge.  While conducting a search for a Program Manager (successfully) I threw into the mix an urgent need for an Electro-mechanical Engineer.  Without waiting to go through the necessary effort of defining the position profile, Ken and his team jumped to the call based upon discussions we had.  By the time we had nailed down the position profile and signed the agreement I already had 4 viable candidates on my desk, of which we hired one.  This organization gets my highest recommendation.

Working with Ken and his team at DefensePlacements was efficient, thorough, and professional.  They truly know and understand the Defense Sector and its unique characteristics.  They identified and screened two 'A' type professionals who we subsequently hired.  I work with other recruiters, and it is without reservation that I recommend DefensePlacements if you have recruitment needs that require knowledge and experience in defense related markets.

Thank you, Defense Placements! From the very beginning of the recruitment process, I trusted that you were looking for the right fit for both the employer and employee. Your staff was honest and fair, offering insight, knowledge and advice -- without an ounce of pressure. My interviews were exciting and pleasureable and my final decision-making made very easy. You connected me with an employer looking for my skillsets yet offering the challenges and environment I desired. After six years with my previous employer, I expected this transition to be very difficult. On the contrary, your magic worked and I love my new job.
