Alac

Most deep tech and defense companies don't have a hiring problem. They have a systems problem. Founders spending 40% of their time recruiting instead of building. Agencies sending candidates who've never touched a clearance. Senior hires leaving in six months. The same broken cycle, over and over. ALAC was built to end it. We're an embedded talent partner for pre-IPO deep tech and defense companies - Pre-Seed through Series D, typically 50 to 500 employees. We place Director, VP, and C-suite leaders for aerospace, space, autonomy, defense software, sensors, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing companies: → Founders who want to stop recruiting and start building → Hiring leaders tired of the agency hamster wheel → Investors who need a talent partner they trust for portfolio companies ': We don't do contingency. We embed with your team at a fixed monthly cost. Our incentives are aligned with yours - hire right, not just hire fast. Most agencies disappear after the check clears - we don't. Our founder, Adrian Munoz, spent 20 years in the Marine Corps leading talent management and retention programs, then five years in agency recruiting watching the model fail founders over and over. ALAC combines military discipline with recruiting expertise without the broken incentives: → Search — One critical hire. We find them fast. → Embedded — We join your team. Fixed cost. Ongoing partnership. → Outsource — Hand us the keys. We run your entire recruiting function.': → 45-day placements - half the industry average → 95% hiring manager approval rate → 94% retention at two years We serve pre-IPO companies in Washington DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Austin, Boston, Seattle, and Huntsville — the hubs where defense-tech lives. If you're scaling and done pretending contingency recruiting works, let's talk.
