Breaking the Catch-22 for Transitioning Veterans in Defense Contracting Transitioning military veterans bring incredible skills and attributes that companies need—especially in defense contracting. Yet, too often, they’re caught in a frustrating paradox: ? Hiring managers look for a checklist of experience. ? Veterans are dismissed for “lack of experience” without consideration of their transferable skills. ? Many don’t even make it through the filters to an interview. It’s insane, especially in defense contracting where the problem is compounded by: ?? Contract writers who aren’t talent experts but dictate experience requirements to keep incumbents or based on perceived needs. ?? Rigid government requirements, that overlook high-potential talent. The result? Companies miss out on top-tier talent that could drive exceptional outcomes. We Have a Solution. Subcontractors often face less stringent checklists and don’t typically fill key personnel slots. That’s where we come in: ? Try Before You Buy: We place transitioning veterans with subcontractors, allowing them to gain needed experience. ? No Risk to the Prime: Primes get access to proven talent without bearing the risk. ? A Shot at the Title: Veterans gain the opportunity to prove themselves, bridging the gap between military experience and contract requirements. It’s a win-win for companies and veterans alike. ? #DefenseContracting #VeteranEmployment #TransitioningMilitary #TalentAcquisition #OpportunityForVeterans #TryBeforeYouBuy

This is how we approach talent management for small businesses. Small business owners, what's your profession? Wouldn't you want to hit the easy button and let someone whose sole purpose is expertise in talent management? Your talent is one of the most critical parts of your business, and the impacts of not getting it right are enormous. Or, you can wait for a need, post something on indeed, or rely on trying to find a resume that checks some boxes and hope for the best, but last time we checked, hope wasn't a very successful strategy. #talent #smallbusiness #hiring #business #entrepreneurship https://lnkd.in/eWHgBZPx

Do you Spam or do you deliver value in outreach? We posted a job opening and, for two weeks, were bombarded by staffing companies, all with the same automated message that they have people... that's it, they're a staffing company, and they have candidates. Clearly, no one is going to respond to that garbage, and why should they? When we see a job opening and want to reach out to a potential client, we reach out with actual value. If someone sends me an anonymized resume of someone they think might be a fit?because they did actual research or demonstrated WHY they're of value, I'd at least have a conversation. #valueadd #recruiting #dontspam

?? New Year, New Beginnings! Introducing Intrepid Prosperity ?? I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Intrepid Prosperity, an executive recruiting and consulting firm built on a foundation of purpose, passion, and my own journey from military service to business ownership. We provide specialized talent solutions for lower middle market M&A, government contractors, and other small businesses and startups in the logistics and security space. We recruit high-impact leaders, veterans, and business professionals to drive growth, operational efficiency, and sustainable success. ? Why I started Intrepid Prosperity: Transitioning out of the military was challenging yet enlightening. Like many veterans, I faced rejection despite being overqualified for some roles and "lacking specific experience" for others. This was frustrating to say the least. Another veteran saw talent and gave me a chance that I took full advantage of to grow and succeed. Then, I met another veteran who acquired his own business—a dream that seemed unrealistic to me until that moment. That ignited my vision for generational prosperity, not just for myself but for others, especially veterans, who have the drive, skills, and leadership to succeed but lack the pathway. After now acquiring and owning a small business, experiencing the challenges, and understanding the critical role talent plays for any organization at any stage, I am driven to help small businesses succeed. ? Our Mission: Connecting small and lower middle-market businesses, private equity firms, and government contractors with the top-tier talent they need to grow and thrive. We bring elite recruiting principles, analytics, and a deep understanding of small business challenges to ensure that every hire is right. Why It Matters: A small business's cost of a bad hire is exponentially higher, and the success of a single hire can make or break their growth trajectory. We recognize this “no-fail mission,” and deliver. Our services focus on: ?? Veteran and Specialized Talent Placement ?? Executive Recruiting for Key Roles ?? Providing owners liquidity through full or partial acquisitions We’re here to empower small businesses, veterans, and specialized talent by providing them with the tools, expertise, and strategies needed to achieve sustainable success and foster generational prosperity. Let’s Achieve Prosperity Together: Whether you’re a veteran looking for key leader roles in a small business or government contracting, or a small business leader or government contractor seeking top-tier talent, Intrepid Prosperity is here to help. ?

This Veteran’s Day, I’m proud to reflect on the mission behind Intrepid Prosperity: empowering veterans to thrive in the business world. As a retired Special Forces veteran and business owner, I know firsthand the challenges of transitioning from military service to civilian careers. Despite being highly qualified and having advanced education, many veterans face barriers that prevent them from realizing their full potential. Veterans bring exceptional leadership, strategic thinking, and adaptability—skills honed through service and ideal for making a powerful impact in business, especially in small enterprises. At Intrepid Prosperity, we’re committed to unlocking opportunities for veterans, whether through entrepreneurship or roles that leverage their unique strengths. To all who have served and to those supporting veteran initiatives, thank you. Let’s continue creating a future where our nation’s heroes are recognized not just for their service but also for the immense value they bring to the business world. #VeteransDay #IntrepidProsperity #VeteranLeadership
