ABOUT US
SPECIAL FORCES RECRUITING, INC. is an elite military recruiting and placement firm that specializes in recruiting Special Forces veterans and Special Forces personnel discharging from active military service for contract or full-time employment with U.S. corporations, multi-national corporations, private military organizations, security organizations, law enforcement agencies, defense contractors, international counter-terrorism operations, U.S. governmental agencies, international humanitarian aid relief organizations, port, harbor and border security agencies, oil production and oil refinery security operations internationally, nuclear facility security and U.S. government intelligence, counter-terrorism and military operations worldwide.
Our employment candidates registered in the extensive
private and confidential SFR database are seeing many different types of
civilian, corporate security, law enforcement, counter-terrorism, private
military contractor and other jobs with corporate, governmental and
organizational employers located world-wide.
Special Forces Recruiting, Inc. is the only organization
of its type dedicated to the recruitment and placement of former Special
Forces personnel for deployment as a private protective security or combat
military force world-wide. It emerged in response to the growth of
international terrorism, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, potential new wars
erupting in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, South Korea and the realization that there
exist insufficient active duty military forces in industrialized nations,
including the United States, to provide effective security in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and maintain an adequate reserve force of military personnel
among industrialized nations on active duty for rapid deployment as new
conflicts arise.
It is currently estimated that approximately twenty
percent (20%) of coalition forces in Iraq are private military contractors
employed by private military corporations based in the United Kingdom, United
States and other countries. About twenty-five percent (25%) of all U.S.
military equipment is maintained by private military contractors working
world-wide in military logistics, communications, computer systems,
technology, transportation, public relations and other critical areas. Today,
government intelligence agencies, national and international law enforcement
agencies, counter-terrorism operations, corporations, security organizations
and governmental agencies hire former Special Forces military personnel for
important jobs throughout the world.
SPECIAL FORCES RECRUITING, INC. SEARCHES, LOCATES, AND RECRUITS FORMER SPECIAL FORCES FOR THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT:

- Employment with military defense contractors internationally in protective security operations deemed too critical or dangerous for civilian forces to protect and defend, such as the protection and military defense of oil or natural production and oil and gas refinery facilities in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the United States;

- Employment with governmental employers worldwide in law enforcement, counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, intelligence, counter-intelligence, disaster assistance and recovery, civilian relations or protective security operations;

SEARCH, LOCATION, RECRUITING AND PLACEMENT CAPABILITIES
Special Forces Recruiting, Inc. has a number of capabilities. SFR can rapidly search, locate and recruit former international Special Forces military personnel currently registered in its proprietary private data base on a rapid basis when needed by defense contractors or private military corporations to secure mission critical objectives or bid for governmental contracts.
SFR has the capability of locating and recruiting on behalf of a private military corporation having a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense up to 10,000 former highly trained and experienced Special Forces military personnel. This would be a standby military force equivalent to about twelve Army battalions available for rapid deployment worldwide. Such a private military force could be maintained, equipped and trained on a continuing basis for domestic deployment during a natural disaster or terrorist attack. Such a contingent force could also be deployed abroad in coordination with operations of U.S. military forces or for deployment alone in areas such as Lebanon that are determined by the government not to be politically appropriate for the presence of U.S. active duty military forces.
Other uses for private military include protection and defense of power plants, hydro electric dams, ports and harbors, airports, air cargo transport, nuclear facilities, critical governmental facilities, mass transit facilities, oil and natural gas production and refining facilities in the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other countries.

retainer fee for expenses and also an agreed contingent fee if the candidate is hired by the client employer or its affiliated
organization. The initial retainer is deducted from the contingent fee payable by the hiring employer to SFR upon the hiring of
the candidate. No fee is charged if the candidate is not hired by the employer or affiliate and the search is not successful.
This firm does not recruit military personnel on active duty unless they have already decided to discharge from the service and
are in the process of transitioning to private military, corporate security, governmental or civilian employment.
After receiving a "job recruiting order" entered online by an employer client, this firm begins a search of our database and other sources for the candidate sought by the employer. If we locate an appropriate job candidate and the candidate executes our standard agreement, the candidate's "Candidate Profile Report" will be presented to the potential employer without the identity or location of the candidate.
If the potential employer remains interested in hiring the candidate after reviewing the "Candidate Profile Report", an interview is arranged and conducted at the employer's location at employer's expense. Expenses advanced to the job candidate and one SFR recruiter include the candidate's and recruiter's ˙reasonable travel, hotel and meal expenses incurred in connection with the presentation of the candidate and interview if the candidate is requested to travel to the employer's location for the interview.

In the event the candidate is hired by the employer, then the hiring employer pays this firm the agreed contingency fee less the retainer for expenses advanced to SFR within one week of hiring the employment candidate.
