PTS was cofounded in 2015 by industry veteran and entrepreneur, Jake Frazer. As a young Cavalry officer deployed in the Balkans in 1996, Jake was first introduced to the government contracting industry as a customer, and he has never forgotten that perspective. He returned to the Balkans in 1999 to support soldiers while working for Brown & Root Services (BRS) and then with KBR in the Middle East in the early days of LOGCAP. For almost 10 years, Jake ran a medium-sized supply chain company as a prime to DLA as well as an outsourced supply chain provider to most of the major international prime contractors. Over 20 years, Jake built a broad understanding of government contracting as well as a great industry network.
PTS was initially established as a software business building a SaaS matchmaking platform to connect companies and talent leveraging assessment, video, and AI. Based on customer demand, this technology was pivoted into supporting Executive Search with a differentiated approach towards traditional recruitment. Founded on technology and deep industry experience, PTS offers both customers and candidates with an empathetic solution to the greatest challenge in our industry: TALENT

"I first met Jake Frazer as an ISOA intern in 2019. He's stayed in touch with me, providing advice and introductions as I moved from Mississippi to DC to Transnistria. Jake cares about his team as if they were family. I'm proud to work for an organization that always puts its people first."
