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.
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.
Typical time to offer: 21–30 days for non-cleared roles, 30–45 days for cleared roles.*
*Typical ranges from recent searches, not guarantees. Security clearance transfer or adjudication is a separate government process that adds time.
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

Yes. Cleared recruiting is a core specialty.

A senior Client Delivery Lead owns the search and experienced recruiters handle the sourcing and screening.
All of them. BizFirst places candidates holding Public Trust, Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, and CI or full-scope polygraph clearances, matched to the exact access a program requires.
BizFirst recruits cleared talent across the Department of Defense, including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force and defense agencies such as DISA, DLA, MDA, DARPA, DTRA, and DCSA; the Intelligence Community, including NSA, NGA, DIA, NRO, CIA, and ODNI; and federal civilian agencies including the Department of Energy and NNSA, DHS, DOJ and the FBI, State, Treasury, Transportation and the FAA, the SEC, NASA, Commerce, and GSA.

On an embedded PartnerHire Core engagement, first cleared submissions typically arrive within about three business days. On a contingent DirectHire search, first submissions usually arrive within five to seven days. Higher clearances, including CI or full-scope polygraph, take longer.
Yes, through PartnerHire Core. During capture, an embedded team under a senior Client Delivery Lead identifies cleared key personnel against your labor categories, secures signed letters of intent or commitment from named candidates, maps incumbents on a recompete, and keeps every committed candidate engaged until start dates are confirmed. Clearance level and current access are confirmed with each candidate early, so the people you name in the proposal are ready to start when the award lands.
Both, depending on how you want to hire. As a recruiting firm, BizFirst runs full-cycle cleared recruiting for permanent, direct-hire roles through DirectHire. As a staffing agency, it supplies embedded cleared recruiters through PartnerHire Core, and contract recruiters and uncleared contract professionals through ContractHire, to cover surges, ramps, and post-award hiring.
