Company size
38 of the 107 recruiters and staffing firms placing OCONUS / GovCon roles we track are boutique firms. Featured partner first, then alphabetical.
38 of the 107 recruiters and staffing firms placing OCONUS / GovCon roles tracked on OCONUS Recruiters are boutique firms, as of October 14, 2026. The featured partner, Recruitmint, is pinned first when it qualifies; every other row is alphabetical, unpaid, and drawn from public information.
Boutique firms are usually founder-led search or niche staffing shops. Their strength is a deep network in one lane, such as executive search or linguist staffing. The tradeoff is limited bench depth for volume hiring. Choose boutique for key-personnel searches and hard-to-find skills. See Executive Search (GovCon) and Linguist & Interpreter Staffing for the lanes where boutiques cluster.
