Our Capabilities

Speed to delivery, with a senior lead on every engagement

We built our delivery model around the realities of GovCon hiring: proposal timelines, post-award urgency, clearance requirements, and labor categories that vary by contract vehicle. Every engagement is led by a senior Delivery Lead who manages a small portfolio and personally reviews every submission before it reaches your desk.

Cleared Role Expertise

We recruit across Public Trust, Secret, Top Secret, and TS/SCI. We understand clearance lifecycle timing, conditional offer positioning during proposals, and how labor categories align to contract vehicles.

Proposal & Post-Award Ready

On PartnerHire Core, we identify key personnel, secure letters of intent or commitment, and build the candidate pipeline during the proposal effort, so first cleared submissions arrive within about 3 business days of award, not weeks after the period of performance has started.

Full Role Coverage

We place functional, technical, operational, and senior leadership professionals: financial management, program operations, IT and cyber, cloud, data, ERP, and cleared executive roles.

PartnerHire Core

Embedded recruiting team

PartnerHire Complete

Recruiting function, run end to end
