Built for Government Contractors

We've spent 12+ years placing cleared talent for government contractors across the DMV and key military bases . We understand post-award urgency, SOW staffing requirements, bid and proposal support, and the reality that cleared candidates often evaluate multiple offers simultaneously.

Cleared Role Specialization

We specialize in cleared roles and understand the full clearance lifecycle, maintaining relationships with passive cleared professionals well before they are needed, across Public Trust, Secret, Top Secret, and TS/SCI clearances.

Proposal & Post-Award Support

During proposal efforts, we help identify key personnel and support conditional offers. After award, we deliver first cleared candidates within 3 business days (PartnerHire) because we are not starting from scratch.

Cleared Federal & DoD Market Expertise

Experience supporting mission-critical programs across major DoD agencies, including DCSA, DISA, DIA, NGA, NRO, and military departments such as the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force.

Retention Focus

94% of our placements stay beyond 90 days because we prioritize both skills match and cultural alignment, resulting in lower churn, protected revenue, and more stable program delivery.

Hiring Support Built for Federal Missions

Whether you need sustained cleared recruiting support or targeted hiring for a critical program, we deliver flexible solutions aligned to government contract timelines and mission needs.

 Fast, Quality Submissions

Retention-focused Results 

                
94% Retention

High churn disrupts programs and puts funded positions at risk. We screen for technical capability and culture fit and review every submission before it reaches your team, which has driven 94% retention beyond 90 days.
