Two military veterans. 32 years of combined service. 18 years placing the right people in the right roles — before we ever started Summit.
Two veterans with a combined 32 years of military service and 18 years in military recruiting built Summit because they knew the process could be done better. Most staffing firms treat placement as a transaction — submit a resume, collect a check, move on. They knew from their own service that the best outcomes come from understanding the person, not just the role.
Military recruiting taught them how to find people who weren't actively looking, build trust fast, and close commitments in high-stakes conversations. It taught them to qualify candidates rigorously, communicate with clarity, and follow through when everyone else goes quiet. Summit applies every one of those skills to civilian placement.
The result is a firm that operates with military-grade discipline: defined processes, fast timelines, zero ghosting, and a retention program that keeps the people you hire. We don't just place talent — we build careers and protect your investment long after the offer letter is signed.
Two veterans who know recruiting — and know what candidates and clients actually need.
