DASH2 is Colorado's boutique staffing and recruiting firm — serving Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and the full Front Range corridor. From our Boulder, Colorado office, we place contractors and direct hires across technology, legal, engineering, finance, and operations into Colorado's largest employers and fastest-growing scale-ups. Fifteen years. Marine Corps discipline applied to recruiting. Veteran-owned.
Colorado's Front Range corridor is one of the country's fastest-growing business and technology regions. The corridor — from Fort Collins in the north through Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs in the south — anchors the state's economy across fintech, aerospace and defense, health tech, telecom, energy, cannabis, manufacturing, and professional services.
DASH2's Boulder office and Colorado recruiting team is how we navigate the market differently.
Our Colorado recruiting team's largest market — downtown Denver, LoDo, RiNo, Cherry Creek, and the Denver Tech Center. Denver anchors Colorado's fintech (Charles Schwab, TransUnion, Janus Henderson, growth-stage fintechs), aerospace (Lockheed Martin, United Launch Alliance), health tech (DaVita, Kaiser Permanente), telecom (DISH Network, Comcast, Charter), and a broad enterprise and scale-up base. The Denver metro employs roughly 53,000+ technology professionals alongside its larger professional-services economy.
Our Colorado office is physically located at 2755 Canyon Blvd in Boulder — one block from Pearl Street. Boulder anchors a unique mix of aerospace and satellite (Ball Aerospace, Sierra Nevada Corporation, Maxar), deep-tech and quantum (NIST, JILA spinoffs), climate tech (NREL ecosystem), and VC-backed SaaS scale-ups. We recruit into Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, and Broomfield on a regular basis.
CSU anchors a growing tech corridor in Fort Collins, with expanding health tech, clean energy, and manufacturing employers. DASH2 places into Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, and the broader Northern Colorado market.
Colorado Springs anchors the state's defense and aerospace economy — Peterson Space Force Base, USAFA, NORAD, plus a dense contractor community. Most placements here are cleared engineering or federal-adjacent professional roles.
Emerging tech, finance, and professional-services presence around mountain-town lifestyle employers. Most placements are hybrid or remote.
The majority of our Colorado placements are hybrid or fully remote. We place Colorado-based contractors into Colorado-headquartered companies, into national remote teams, and into cross-market engagements with our Utah clients.
Our Colorado Front Range practice focuses on the functions and roles that define the corridor's economy:
Compensation ranges, hiring timelines, and market commentary vary by function and city — initial scoping calls cover specifics relevant to your requisition.
Boutique in a market of volume shops. Colorado's staffing market is crowded with large national agencies. DASH2 places fewer contractors with more care — 3:1 submittal-to-hire ratio vs. industry 10:1.
Fast response anchored by a local office. Three-day average to first candidate. Ten-day average to start. Boulder-based recruiting team who know Front Range hiring managers personally.
Cross-market depth. Many Colorado growth-stage companies hire from Utah, California, Texas, and nationwide. DASH2's national recruiting footprint — Utah HQ plus Boulder office — gives Colorado clients access to talent beyond the immediate Front Range.
SDVOSB for federal and supplier-diversity work. Colorado's large federal, aerospace, and Fortune 500 employer base frequently has SDVOSB sourcing mandates. DASH2 is SBA-certified and eligible.
Founder-level oversight. You work with the same recruiter and founder-level quality review on every requisition. Not junior coordinators working off a script.
Three-day average to first submitted candidate. Ten-day average to placement and start. For urgent Colorado roles with clean job intake, same-day submission is common. Our 3:1 submittal-to-hire ratio means minimal review load on hiring managers.
Rates vary by role, seniority, specialization, and engagement length. Denver and Boulder rates run 10–15% above Utah and 15–20% below the Bay Area. DASH2 quotes all-in bill rates including markup — no hidden fees. Request a quote for your specific role.
Yes. Our Colorado office is located at 2755 Canyon Blvd, 1st Floor, Boulder, CO 80302 — 35 minutes from downtown Denver via US-36. Boulder is our Colorado hub; Denver-based clients meet with us in Boulder, in Denver, or on video.
DASH2 serves the Colorado Front Range across fintech, aerospace, health tech, energy, legal, and growth-stage SaaS. Our client roster includes Fortune 500 financial services, aerospace and defense employers, mid-market health tech, and VC-backed Colorado scale-ups. Specific client names are shared only on introductory calls.
Yes — with appropriate lead time. Cleared placements (Secret, Top Secret, SCI) require extended vetting. DASH2's SDVOSB certification and aerospace-adjacent client base support cleared and ITAR-compliant placements across the Colorado Springs, Boulder, and Denver defense markets. Scoping conversation required per requisition.
Yes. Our SOW and squad engagement model places a co-managed team (typically 3–10 engineers plus a delivery lead) into a client's roadmap, funded from the client's SOW budget rather than headcount. The client owns the deliverable; DASH2 provides and manages the talent. Common Colorado use cases: aerospace program staffing, fintech platform migrations, and health tech data platform buildouts.
Yes. We place across the full Colorado Front Range — Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins, Loveland, Colorado Springs, and mountain-corridor employers. Most placements are hybrid or remote, making statewide reach practical from our Boulder office.
