Built for Government Contractors

We understand how GovCon hiring works.

Cleared staffing has its own pressure points: proposal deadlines, post-award urgency, clearance timelines, and labor categories that vary by contract vehicle. We built our delivery model around those realities.

Cleared Role Expertise

We recruit across Public Trust, Secret, Top Secret, and TS/SCI clearances. We understand clearance lifecycle timing, how to position conditional offers during proposals, and which labor categories align to which contract vehicles — so submissions arrive ready to work, not ready to start the process.

Proposal & Post-Award Ready

During proposal efforts, we help identify key personnel and support conditional offers before award. After award, we deliver first cleared submissions within 3 business days — because we start building the pipeline before the contract is signed, not after.

Senior Delivery, Low Client Load

Your Delivery Lead manages 3–4 clients. Not 20. The person who learns your contract requirements, your program timeline, and your culture is the same person reviewing every submission before it reaches your desk. There is no handoff when urgency is highest.

Case Study
