Our Story
Empowering Organizations with Talent
Koger was born from a simple observation: companies don't just need great candidates; they need great talent systems.
Since our inception, we've evolved from a specialized recruiting firm into a comprehensive talent strategy partner. What began as helping government contractors and technology firms find mission-critical professionals revealed a deeper challenge: even the best hires struggle without the right HR infrastructure, culture, and leadership support.
This insight transformed our approach. We realized that recruiting and HR strategy aren't separate functions; they're two sides of the same coin. A company with strong employer brand, clear compensation philosophy, and engaging culture doesn't just fill positions faster; they keep their best people longer and build sustainable competitive advantage.
Today, Koger integrates elite recruiting with strategic HR leadership. Led by Michael Koger (SPHR, CRP, A-CSM, CSSBB), who brings 15+ years of C-suite HR advisory experience including VP roles at Fortune 500 government contractors, we offer both the tactical execution of recruiting and the strategic vision of fractional CHRO services.
Our dual expertise means we can:
-
Fill your critical positions while diagnosing why those roles became vacant in the first place
-
Build talent pipelines while designing the systems that make candidates want to join and stay
-
Navigate complex GovCon compliance (FAR/DFARS, OFCCP) while executing sophisticated recruiting campaigns
-
Provide executive-level HR counsel without the full-time executive cost
We've supported over $400M in contract wins, reduced client turnover by 52%, and maintained an 87% placement success rate, not by choosing between recruiting or HR strategy, but by recognizing they work best together.
We serve ambitious mid-sized companies (50-300 employees) across:
-
Government Contractors navigating complex compliance requirements
-
Technology & Engineering firms competing for specialized talent
-
Healthcare Organizations undergoing digital transformation
-
Financial Services companies requiring precision and compliance
-
Fast-growing startups building HR infrastructure for the first time
-
Whether you need to fill a VP of Engineering role tomorrow or build a complete talent strategy over the next year, Koger brings the partnership, expertise, and proven track record to deliver results that move your business forward.
