Human Capital / Human Resources

The evolution of Human Capital Management – from transactional activities to strategic business planning – has businesses of today putting their workforce at the forefront of their organizational strategy.

Business Operations Support

Finding talented, qualified, and reliable people who deliver is tough. We see our clients struggle with that all of the time, and we help to ease their struggles by offering not only hands-on training but also staff augmentation to make sure they have the support they need day in and day out to fulfill their mission.

To get started, we find out what skills and expertise are needed to get the job done, then we identify talented people who fit the organizational culture.  We leverage the expertise of our senior team members to screen potential talent for technical skill and culture fit, so that we select talent who have the best possible chance for success.  Sometimes, that means we will present an option that our client has not considered, to get them a better result. Either way, we do push hard to get the right person in the door, through the clearance process and trained so that they can hit the ground running.
