What Cleared Recruitment Is, and Where It Fits
Cleared recruitment is finding and placing people who already hold an active security clearance, from Public Trust through TS/SCI with polygraph, on classified or sensitive federal contracts. The candidate pool is small, every clearance has to be verified, and one slow hire can push back a contract start.
Because we also write federal proposals and run capture, we recruit to the staffing plan in the bid: key personnel with signed letters of intent before submission, and the transition team lined up before award.

Clearance Levels We Recruit For
Public Trust (moderate and high risk positions), Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, TS/SCI with CI polygraph, TS/SCI with full-scope polygraph, and DOE Q and L access. New to clearances? Read security clearance levels explained.
We focus on candidates who already hold active or current clearances. Clearance sponsorship is handled by the hiring contractor through the government, and we never misrepresent a candidate's clearance status.
Built for GovCon Hiring Realities
Contingent offers, proposal key personnel, incumbent capture, start dates tied to contract awards, and facility security officer coordination are part of everyday cleared hiring. Our recruiters work inside those realities, so your proposal promises and your actual staffing line up. See how to staff a proposal before you win.
