Cleared recruiting for
federal programs.

BizFirst recruits cleared talent for federal prime and subcontractors at every clearance level, from Secret to TS/SCI and full-scope polygraph. Senior-led, flat-fee, and fast, with first cleared submissions in about three business days. We work across the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and federal civilian agencies.

Senior-led cleared recruiting

Recruiting built for cleared and classified work.

Cleared hiring is unforgiving. The pool is smaller, timelines are driven by contract award, and a candidate who cannot hold the clearance the program needs is no candidate at all. BizFirst runs cleared searches with senior people who know the difference between Secret, TS/SCI, and full-scope poly, and who source to the exact access your program requires.

All clearance levels

Secret to TS/SCI and full-scope poly

We recruit candidates holding Public Trust, Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, and CI or full-scope polygraph clearances, matched to the access a program actually requires, not just whatever is on a resume. Federal capabilities →

DoD, IC & civilian

Cleared talent across the mission set

Cleared hiring across the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and federal civilian agencies, from proposal teams and post-award ramps to steady program support for primes and subcontractors. GovCon recruiting →

Boutique by design

Three to four clients per lead, not twenty-five

Each Client Delivery Lead carries only three or four clients, so your cleared search gets senior, hands-on attention and fast follow-through. It is why 94% of our placements stay past 90 days. About BizFirst →
