Stillwaters Harvest Consulting provides recruitment and human capital services to growing B2G and B2B companies. Our mission is to create thriving workplaces where individuals and organizations reach their highest potential together.

Our founders have spent twenty years recruiting and retaining in-demand talent for IT firms. By understanding and embracing the whole person, we build lasting partnerships that focus on growth, resilience, and mutual success. We go beyond recruitment to create employment pathways that provide long-term value for both employers and recruits.

  • We equip leaders to drive change, inspire their teams, and overcome challenges through customized leadership development programs. Research indicates that 65% of HR leaders identify leadership development as a critical focus for business success.

  • Engaged employees are more productive and committed. Our strategies boost engagement by aligning individual values with organizational culture, reducing turnover, and increasing innovation. Disengagement costs U.S. companies up to $550 billion annually—we ensure your teams are fully invested in your mission and vision.

  • We help you design a workforce strategy that aligns with your organizational objectives, ensuring every hire and role contributes to sustainable growth. By connecting talent acquisition with long-term business goals, we optimize your team for success and adaptability in a competitive marketplace.

  • We provide actionable insights using psychometric tools, helping you gain a deeper understanding of the individuals you hire. These tools enable you to develop talent effectively, ensuring their strengths align with your organizational goals. This approach not only optimizes human capital performance but also streamlines role clarity and operational efficiency, driving long-term retention and engagement.

  • We ensure your hires and teams are equipped to meet the unique requirements of your mission, tailored to your industry and organizational context. Whether filling niche technical roles requiring high-security clearances, hiring for infrastructure or civil engineering, or recruiting for leadership in the private or public sector, we match talent to your specific objectives. By aligning character with competency and ensuring a shared commitment to your mission, we create a foundation for long-term success and organizational trust.
