THE MILSPEC DIFFERENCE
We provide a white-glove experience for our client companies by recruiting the ideal Veteran 2.0 leader with an impressive military background and a track record of post-military, corporate success – using our distinctive and proven formula.
WHY THE VETeran 2.0?
-
Upon his honorable discharge as a Green Beret Commander, Freddie struggled to find “fit” in the corporate world. Like many ex-military members, his identity was so wrapped up in his profession as a Leader of Warriors, as the military was the only thing he knew his entire adult life. Hence, Freddie struggled to find that purpose again and wandered throughout the corporate sector — in manufacturing, construction, and even running a small business to no avail.
Only after being exposed to the vast possibilities in the world of business (through the Kellogg MBA program), did Freddie discover HOW a Veteran can leverage their abilities to find clarity in ambiguity and thrive in high-stress environments, to actually find a path again to make an impact. The key, however, is for the Veteran to be keenly self-aware and understand how he can ADD VALUE to a business, coupled with a desire to continually refine his career selection through a process of discovery and elimination.
This is why MilSpec Talent primarily works with Veterans 2-20 years post military service, and connects them with relatively unknown opportunities within the small to medium-sized business space. We do not target transitioning Veterans at this time.
Note: While we have a strong commitment to the Veteran 2.0 community, we work with any and all candidates who possess the same low-ego, high-impact values.
OUR PROCESSes
CANDIDATES
We don’t just try to find good candidates, we find the right candidates who aren’t necessarily shopping for jobs. We have a dedicated team of full time employees whose only job is to identify, attract, evaluate, and get to know candidates on a deeper level than traditional recruitment firms. We make sure candidates get the career they’re looking for, and companies get the star players they’re after.
for job seekers
companies
We work with growing teams as well as Private Equity and Venture Capital groups to connect mission-driven companies with their A-Teams. We do the heavy lifting to grow, refine, and diversify teams with candidates that are not only skilled, but fit the value system of the company.
for employers
-
We will never be a one-size-fits-all recruitment firm. We tailor our approach, communications, and practices to best serve every single client. We get to know our candidates and client companies extremely well so that we’re able to provide the service that fits them best.
-
Just as a military team has to communicate clearly and promptly, our team does the same. Our priority is to ensure alignment between all parties as quickly as possible, hence we want to hear what you have to say!
-
We’ve got your six. We’re not a contract, or part-time team. We have a dedicated team of full-time staff members, all with MilSpec tenure. We do not stop until you succeed.

THE MILSPEC EXPERIENCE
GET TO KNOW US
Instead of “filling seats,” we apply our distinctive formula to unify companies and candidates for mid-to-senior management positions. MilSpec achieves this level of excellence by first understanding the needs, goals, and values of each client company via our regimented process, including our Working Sessions and Job Scorecard creation.
“FREDDIE AND THE MILSPEC TEAM WERE ABLE TO FIND A MISSION-CRITICAL LEADER FOR MY START-UP TEAM. I WARNED THEM IN THE BEGINNING THAT I WAS ONLY LOOKING FOR THE ‘BEST OF THE BEST’ TALENT, AND THEY MANAGED TO DELIVER EFFECTIVELY. I’M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THEIR WORK AND NOW THEY ARE ALSO WORKING ON HIRING MY OTHER C-SUITE ESSENTIAL POSITIONS!”
- TOM PAQUIN, FOUNDER & CEO
“MILSPEC TALENT IS ONE OF THE RARE RECRUITING FIRMS THAT TAKES THE TIME TO TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES OUR COMPANY TICK. FREDDIE KIM SCHEDULED TIME TO SPEAK WITH ALL OF OUR HIRING MANAGERS, OUR HR TEAM, OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM AND HE PERSONALLY VISITED OUR CORPORATE OFFICE TO UNDERSTAND OUR CULTURE AND LONG TERM STRATEGY. WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE GIVE MILSPEC TALENT A POSITION TO FILL THAT WE WILL GET THE BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATES AND THE ODDS OF A SUCCESSFUL MATCH ARE HIGH.”
- RYAN MOODY, DIRECTOR OF SALES
“MILSPEC IS AN OUTSTANDING VETERAN RECRUITING FIRM COMMITTED TO PROVIDING VETERANS THE BEST PLACEMENT POSSIBLE. WHILE I AM NOT A VETERAN, MILSPEC’S HOLISTIC APPROACH TO RECRUITING, AND ABILITY TO SEE EACH CANDIDATE’S UNIQUE CHARACTER, GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW MY CAREER SUPPORTING THE WARFIGHTER. EVERYONE WAS APPROACHABLE AND RESPONSIVE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.”
- HEIDI BOSANKO, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
