What We Do
We close the gap between the work that needs doing and the people capable of doing it. That can mean running the search, acting as your recruiting team, running the numbers behind a hiring decision, or building a military talent pipeline you own. Most of the candidates we bring forward are veterans. Some aren't. Fit decides it, not veteran status.
Why We're Different
The people. We've spent our careers inside the veteran community, building relationships with people who proved themselves in the military and in the civilian careers that followed.
The work. Before a search launches, we work with you to define what the seat needs and map the market around it, so you're deciding with the full landscape in front of you, not just one resume.
Why ETG
We've stood in the field, led people, and sat in the room when the decision cost something. That's the lens we screen through.
The gap isn't closed on the start date. It's closed when the hire works, and that shows up months later.
Sometimes the gap isn't a hiring problem. Sometimes it's not this candidate. We say so, even when it's not what you want to hear.
From the Field
On veteran talent. On what it costs to leave a gap open. On what a line on a resume means.
August JOLTS and the September jobs report show a labor market standing still: low hires, low layoffs, and quits near a six year low. What that means for employers who still have to grow.
The US labor force contracted by roughly 700,000 workers in 2026, a rare move outside of a recession. Why the same five resumes pattern now has a second, harder cause, and why a wider search does not fix it.
Industrial lead times trace back to a hiring gap. The plant managers, operations leaders, and quality engineers needed to run 2027 and 2028 capacity are the real constraint, and veteran talent is a direct functional match.
Why hiring managers running multiple search agencies keep seeing the same five candidates, and what actually separates a keyword search from an honest assessment of military talent.
