Ethos Services

What Ethos Services does

Ethos Services is a privately held US staffing and recruiting firm headquartered at 18 North Main Street, Rochester, NH, with an offshore support office in Hyderabad, India. The firm delivers talent placement across five engagement models — Direct Placements, Contract (Corp to Corp), Contract to Hire, RPO, and Referral Placements — to both government/public sector and private sector clients. Ethos cites a client base of 100+ companies spanning 13+ industry verticals including information technology, healthcare, law firms, hospitality, accounting and finance, manufacturing, construction, engineering, academics, human resources, sales and marketing, life sciences, and retail.

Beyond core staffing, Ethos Services operates three specialized IT service lines delivered by a team that includes 40+ ServiceNow specialists. The ServiceNow practice covers implementation, customization, integration, support and maintenance, and consulting. The CyberSecurity Solutions line provides security assessments and audits, incident response, security consulting, managed security services, and awareness training. The Software Testing Services line delivers quality assurance, automation testing, performance testing, security testing, and user acceptance testing. These IT services position the firm to compete for higher-margin consulting and managed engagements alongside its traditional placement revenue.

Ethos Services generates revenue primarily through professional services fees, including contingency or retained search fees for direct placements (typically a percentage of hired candidate salary), hourly or project-based rates for contract staffing, and flat-fee or per-position pricing for RPO engagements. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct business development and relationship management with public and private sector buyers, supported by a corporate website (yourethos.co) as the primary inbound channel. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, or revenue figures.
