About DASH2

The Wingman You Always Needed

A 'dash 2' is a flight leader's wingman. It's a pivotal support position, one that every fight leader needs. A solid wingman can make the difference between a successful mission and catastrophic failure.

Our CEO began his career as a fighter pilot. His military past is reflected in our business philosophy, our approach to professional recruiting, and our commitments to our clients. Like a good wingman, we intend to provide the kind of strategic support that makes you successful, even when you're under heavy fire.

Because we're serious about strategic collaboration, we pick our partners carefully. We're here to ensure your organization has the resources you need to be proactive and forward-thinking. We aren't just about keeping your recruiting pipeline full. We're about helping your company take the next step toward your full potential.

We call it Brilliance at the Basics. Every staffing firm promises the same things — careful intake, rigorous matching, clean communication, well-prepared candidates. Most don't actually deliver. We do, every time. Know the job. Do the job. Do it better than anyone else. If our work doesn't make your company fundamentally better, we failed.

Our Core Values

Four principles drive everything we do — how we measure ourselves, how we treat each other, and how we show up for our clients.
