What is SOFX GTS?

SOFX Global Talent Services (GTS) is the recruiting arm of SOFX. It was previously called SOFX Recruiting.

Who do you recruit for?

Companies in any industry hiring for specialist and leadership roles. Defense, national security, and government contracting are where we started. We also recruit for technology, energy, manufacturing, logistics, and corporate security teams.

Do you only recruit veterans?

No. Veterans and former operators are a strength of our network, alongside engineers, analysts, and industry leaders. The requirements of the role decide who we look for.

How do you help companies hire veterans?

We translate military experience into your requirements, and your role into terms a veteran recognizes. Then we screen for fit with the work, not service history alone.

What does shared risk mean?

It means structuring the engagement around a successful placement, with clear expectations and aligned incentives. We agree on the scope, responsibilities, and commercial terms together before a search begins.

How does the SOFX network help?

SOFX has covered defense, security, and special operations since 2014. That gives our recruiters relationships, referrals, and knowledge of the field. SOFX readers are not a candidate database, and we confirm a candidate is interested before any introduction.

Can I talk to you without a specific role in mind?

Yes. Tell us about your background and what you want next, even if you are not actively looking.
