Federal Executive Search Practice

In 2008 as reported by Washington Technology Magazine federal spending on information technology (IT) was over $70b and growing at a 4.1% annualized rate. Investments in innovative game-changing technologies and solutions will increase substantially, particularly for mission-critical needs such as National Security and Cyber Security within the Department of Defense (DoD), Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Thus the competition for top leadership among technology and service providers (start-ups and market leading companies) focused on the federal, state and local government markets is intense.

Benchmark has over seventy years of executive search experience and fully understands the challenges faced by companies selling products and services to the federal, state and local government markets when recruiting executive leadership. Benchmark's philosophy and commitment is that each client deserves the same full service attention, professionalism, responsiveness and top results. Our proprietary search process is based upon the practice of having a Partner lead the entire search from beginning to end. Our experience, extensive network and proprietary search methodology ensure that each client's search starts on a solid foundation and superior results are achieved. Benchmark's expertise in leading engagements to recruit senior executives for federally focused services and systems integration firms and product vendors spans the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, Departments' of State and Homeland Security as well as the broader civilian agency markets. Our partners are frequently called upon to lead the most mission-critical and confidential executive searches.

Trusted relationships with government and industry insiders are crucial in this tight-knit community. As evidenced by our Federal Advisory Board, we are connected at the highest levels of federal agencies, systems integrators and government contractors, particularly within the Intel, DoD, and DHS communities.

Building on Benchmark's reputation as a top executive search firm we have launched our Federal Advisors Practice which provides our clients with access and introductions to former senior government officials and executives. Among the types of people available for consulting and advisory roles are former Generals, Admirals, Deputy Directors and high level SES personnel that can be engaged for short and long-term strategic and tactical projects, e.g. ex. NSA deputy director with significant experience in Cyber Security.
