What does DASH2 do?

DASH2 is a specialized staffing and recruiting firm that places senior-level contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire talent into mid-market companies. We serve technology, engineering, legal, finance, and operations functions, with offices in Salt Lake City, Utah and Boulder, Colorado. We work across contract staffing, SOW squad engagements, direct placement, and nearshore LATAM resources. Veteran-owned and SBA-certified SDVOSB.

How fast can DASH2 place a candidate?

Three days is our average to first submitted candidate. Ten days is our average to placement. Our 3:1 submittal-to-hire ratio means you review only fully-vetted candidates, not a stack of resumes.

What roles and skills does DASH2 staff?

Across technology: software engineers (backend, frontend, full-stack), data engineers, AI/ML engineers, DevOps, cloud architects, SREs, QA, product managers, engineering managers, and technical program managers. Across non-tech: attorneys and paralegals, controllers and CFOs, accountants, HR business partners, marketing and RevOps, and senior operations leaders. We focus on mid-to-senior individual contributors and leadership roles.

Is DASH2 really veteran-owned?

Yes. DASH2 is SBA-certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Founder and CEO Brandon Knotts is a retired Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier pilot. The name DASH2 refers to the wingman position in a two-ship fighter formation — a call to disciplined, reliable support.

Where is DASH2 located? Do you work nationally?

DASH2 is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a second office in Boulder, Colorado. We place contractors and employees nationwide — remote, on-site, or hybrid — across every US time zone. Our nearshore division also places LATAM talent into US teams.

What size companies does DASH2 serve?

We specialize in mid-market companies — typically 500 to 5,000 employees — though we also serve growth-stage scale-ups and select Fortune 500 teams. Our ideal client is a US company placing 10 or more contractors per year across technology, legal, engineering, finance, or operations.

What is DASH2’s client retention rate?

98% client retention over fifteen years in business. Our contractor turnover is well below industry averages because of our vetting depth — we match for technical fit, culture fit, and engagement-length alignment, not just resume keywords.

What engagement models does DASH2 offer?

Four models: contract staffing (hourly time-and-materials), contract-to-hire (conversion path to direct employment), direct or permanent placement (retained or contingent search), and SOW or squad engagements (co-managed teams funded from a client’s SOW budget). We also offer nearshore LATAM placements.
