We know the government hiring process
Reffett Associates is a leading provider of retained executive search across all levels of government, including federal, state and local governments and agencies.
Our Managing Directors bring direct public sector experience, including senior roles in the Department of Defense, on Capitol Hill, on a city council and in a congressional district office. We understand the government hiring process and the challenge of building a diverse, qualified candidate pool within it.
Reffett Associates is veteran-owned and holds GSA Schedule contract GS-02F-0194W. We are one of very few executive search firms to earn this qualification after completing the GSA's extensive review.
Working with us
Every engagement is fully retained and personally led by a Managing Director. On average, you will see your first group of candidates within three weeks of our kickoff meeting.
