Most deep tech and defense companies don't have a hiring problem.

They have a systems problem.

Generalist firms showed up when your funding round hit. 

Their pitch changed, but their model never did. 
Their resumes miss the mark and your senior hires are gone within 18 months.

We built ALAC to break that cycle.

Generalist firms optimize for volume. 
We optimize for durability.

ALAC is a veteran-owned, operator-led firm delivering premier, white-glove search for deep tech and defense companies that cannot afford the wrong hire.

We don't just place leaders, we make sure they stick.

Founded in 2022 and built exclusively for deep tech and defense hiring, we partner with companies from Seed through Series D. 

We place senior ICs, program leaders, cleared professionals, and Director through C-suite across aerospace, space, defense tech, autonomy, AI, advanced manufacturing, and dual-use tech.

The results speak for themselves:

- Searches filled in 45 days against a 60-to-90-day benchmark.
- 95% of submitted candidates approved to interview.
- Up to a 12-month guarantee on every direct-hire placement.

We put our performance against any transactional agency.

How we do it is simple. We evaluate every candidate against your role, your organization, and where your company is headed. 

We never send candidates we aren't confident in. Your hiring manager sees fewer of them, and every one is worth the conversation.

Our standards don't move.

We don't disappear after the offer is signed.
We don't take searches we can't win.
We measure success by what happens after the placement, not by the signed offer.

ALAC was founded by two veterans: a Marine with 20 years leading talent and retention programs, and a Navy veteran who runs brand and client experience. 

Military discipline meets recruiting expertise, without the broken incentives of transactional firms.

Built for the mission that cannot fail.
