Boarhog Benefits:

Boarhog has over 14 years in the Maritime Industrial Base (MIB) with steady, purposeful and controlled growth, offering our full-time associates a remarkable compensation package, including:

• Monthly stipend for residing in a HUBZone location

We thrive in a welcoming, family-like culture within a completely flat organization, with a vested interest in our associates' personal and professional goals and aspirations. There is no fat on the Boarhog... meaning nobody has ever made a living watching other associates do work. Boarhog associates therefore enjoy a culture of self-determination, treated as adult professionals. The result is an exceedingly low associate turnover rate (We're not a body shop staffing company stuffing butts in contract seats). Indeed, Boarhog's first associate is still with us and isn't going anywhere. Once a Boarhog, always a Boarhog. The company's Managing Member, co-founder and majority owner is a 21 year U.S. Navy Surface Warfare Officer veteran with decades of public sector acquisition experience, who actively engages in the day-to-day operations of the company, and he knows every Boarhog associate.
