I spent close to nine years in aerospace and defense recruiting before founding EXO, including four years building an A&D executive search practice inside a global firm. Across that time I closed well over a hundred placements, most of them senior, and learned exactly where searches break.
They break when the recruiter does not understand clearance requirements. When comp cannot be benchmarked in regulated markets. When the search runs on job boards instead of relationships with the passive operators who actually run these businesses.
EXO exists to run searches the other way, with the depth a global firm cannot give a single sector and the accountability a big desk cannot give a single client.
One sector. Retained by default. Every search through the founder.
