Approach Venture

??Approach Recruiting Case Study?? Within 5 weeks, our recruiting vertical was able to place a strong VP of Engineering for a stealth, space-focused startup from job description receipt through offer letter acceptance. Through our disruptive recruiting model focused on supporting early-stage A&D founders, our team was also able to help the founder save significantly compared to industry standard placement fees without sacrificing the candidate's desired compensation package.

The United States Department of the Air Force's desire to utilize Additive Manufacturing (AM) for flight-critical components necessitates the rigorous qualification of vendors. The RSO Advanced Manufacturing Program Office (AMPO) is gathering information to evaluate vendor capability of meeting the United States Air Force's potential need. A pre-solicitation is now open for white papers that provide processes and procedures to qualify AM vendors for parts with airworthiness considerations. #additivemanufacturing https://lnkd.in/gkFQusc4
