About
Spend Less, Get More Results
About a decade ago, our founders identified a significant problem in the federal recruiting market. They saw how challenging it was for government contracting organizations to find the talent they needed. Even highly skilled internal recruitment teams struggled to locate the right candidates due to the high costs and difficulties involved.
After 20 years of struggling to recruit talent for their own government contracting businesses, our founders know there had to be a better way. So, they got to work. It took a lot of time and determination to finally develop Procession Systems’ recruiting model, but in the end, they created a solution to an issue that had been plaguing the market for decades. In 2016, our founders teamed up with Volition Partners to found Procession Systems with one mission: to solve the high costs and lack of results associated with recruiting in the Federal Contracting market.
