We are veterans and talent professionals. We have been in rooms where the wrong person in the wrong role costs more than just money. That shapes every search we run.
What We Do
Three disciplines. One standard. We bring the same rigor to every engagement.
We source, vet, and place the right people. Not just the available ones. Our network spans military communities and civilian industries alike.
We turn workforce data into decisions. Retention patterns, compensation benchmarks, pipeline health. We surface what the numbers are actually saying.
Before you hire, know the landscape. We map competitive talent pools, identify where the best candidates are, and give you the intelligence to move first.
"ETG exists because recruiting lost the plot. Quotas replaced judgment. Volume replaced fit. The candidate got lost. So did the client."
Why ETG
Most firms evaluate candidates against a job description. We evaluate them against the reality of the role. The team dynamics, the leadership environment, the operational demands.
That perspective comes from having lived it. Our team has led people in high-stakes environments. We know what separates someone who looks right on paper from someone who actually performs.
We've been in the field, in leadership, and in the room when decisions matter.
Gut instinct calibrated by market data. We use both. Neither alone is enough.
We don't just fill roles. We track what happens after. That's the real measure.
Access to a community of high-performing transitioning service members most firms never reach.
From the Field
On veteran talent. On what industrial companies keep getting wrong. On why most recruiting firms optimize for the wrong things.
Private sector U.S. manufacturing investment sits at $1.765 trillion. The facilities are being built. The workforce is not keeping up. And smaller manufacturers are losing the talent competition before the search even starts.

90% of companies missed their hiring goals last year. The industry diagnosed a speed problem. The data points somewhere else entirely.
Most industrial companies blame the talent market when field service roles go unfilled for months. The real problem is almost always upstream. It starts before the search does.
