Solving Critical Aerospace & Defense Workforce and Quality Challenges
Ramping Production for New Programs and Rate Increases
- Program launches, rate readiness pushes, and defense contract awards create workforce demands that traditional hiring can't match. Falling behind on staffing means falling behind on delivery schedules, and in this industry, missed milestones cost contracts. MS Companies maintains a deep bench of pre-qualified aerospace professionals, from CNC machinists and assemblers to manufacturing engineers, ready to deploy across North America for program launches, production surges, and special projects.
Finding Engineering & Technical Talent in a Shrinking Labor Pool
- Experienced aerospace engineers and technical specialists are retiring faster than the industry can replace them, and every competitor is recruiting from the same shallow pool. MS Companies' technical recruiting team specializes in hard-to-fill aerospace roles, from manufacturing and supplier quality engineers to CNC programmers and CMM operators. Through contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire models, we deliver candidates who are already vetted for the technical depth and compliance requirements your programs demand.
Protecting Quality Across a Complex Supply Chain
- A single supplier quality escape can trigger line stoppages, customer containments, and costly rework across multiple tiers. MS Companies provides rapid-response quality inspection, containment, sorting, and rework support, on-site at your facility or your supplier's. Our teams help you isolate defects, protect your customer, and recover production quickly, with documented inspection and defect data at every step.
Supporting ITAR, AS9100 & ISO 9001 Requirements Without Slowing Production
- Defense and aerospace work demands a workforce that supports the industry's strictest requirements. We screen and verify candidates to your facility's specific requirements, including U.S. person verification to support your ITAR obligations, and onboard every professional to work within your AS9100 and ISO 9001 quality systems. MS Force, our proprietary platform, gives you real-time visibility into inspection results, corrective actions, and workforce documentation from a single dashboard.
