• CDE & Veterans, Government Employees: We noticed a problem in they way that most companies recruit military and public service personnel: by providing limited information about the true nature of their contracts. We demystify the opaque civilian business world by being honest and up-front about the contracting environment. We are honored to help those who have performed service to country make the best decision for themselves and their families during this transition.

• CDE & Employees: We treat our personnel like senior consultants and experts, since they are top-notch, pedigreed and impressive in their own right. Talented people choose to work for us because they know they will get the reach-back support they need to focus on their customers, mission and goals.

• CDE & You: We look forward to hearing about you for this opportunity and encourage you to search our open positions. Please know that all your information will be evaluated and kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
