We heard that 2026 is the new 2016!? In 2016, and prior, we set a simple standard: do excellent work with excellent people.
Â
Today, in 2026, the standard standsâsubstance over flashiness, quality over quantity, and team over the individual. We hold each other accountable. We reward the teammates who earn it. And we remember that integrity is the foundation whether youâre hiring for a critical program or collaborating inside the company. Back in 2016 we werenât chasing volumeâwe were building a team.Â
Â
In recruitingâespecially in GovConâitâs tempting to fill a seat fast. We slow down to get it right. We look at the whole person, the mission, and the program fit. Thatâs how you protect culture, deliver consistently, and keep customers and teammates winning for the long haul.
Â
To everyone whoâs been with us since 2016 (and long before): thank you for setting the standard. To everyone who joined along the way: thank you for raising it. Hereâs to the next decade of doing it the right wayâwith integrity above all else.

Did you know itâs National Wikipedia Day!? We arenât quite hype enough to have a Wiki page yet, but we dreamed up what ours might say if we did have one! What do you think? đ¤đ¤â
â
Â
In actuality, Wikipedia pages arenât just handed out like free chips at a Mexican restaurant! đ To qualify, you need:
Â
âNotability: Significant coverage in reliable, independent sources (think news articles, not just your own blog).
âVerifiability: Facts backed by published sources anyone can check.
âNeutral tone: No marketing fluffâWikipedia wants encyclopedic, not salesy.
âReliable references: Multiple third-party sources, not just your website.
Â
Weâve got the mission, the memes, and the milestonesâbut fame? Working on it. Maybe if we keep growing, weâll earn that coveted spot one day. Until then, enjoy our âfuture pageâ and celebrate #WikipediaDay with us!
