XL Associates, Inc. Leverages Specialty Recruiting Expertise to Win $20M Subcontract from Macfadden in Support of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

We are thrilled to have won this follow-on subcontract, based on our top-quality service and a great relationship with our team partners. We're honored to have been selected during the stringent bid process," stated Mike Jones, Vice President, XL Associates. "We look forward to another successful five year partnership with Macfadden and USAID."

XL understands that U.S. Government agencies face the challenge of tightening operational budgets and restrictions on the hiring of Federal employees, while demand for services continues to increase. Agencies are turning to the use of PSCs for internal staffing needs because the arrangement provides a normal employee/employer relationship without the long-term commitments by the government typical of career General Schedule (GS) hires.   The recruitment and administration of PSCs requires specialized knowledge and experience because the niche bridges the requirements of HR laws and Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). XL has developed significant expertise and experience in this field and has provided continuous support to USAID for PSC recruiting since 1998.

XL Associates, Inc., a veteran-owned small business, has served clients for over 17 years in all phases of the procurement process, ranging from major systems contract and subcontract management to commodity buying and contract closeout. For federal clients, they provide cradle to grave acquisition support. The company is committed to exceeding clients' expectations for each project by providing highly qualified professionals who have already demonstrated the capacity for superior job performance.
