Built for Government Contractors
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.
PartnerHire
Managed Monthly Recruiting
Your dedicated recruiting team on a monthly retainer. When you're winning multiple contracts annually and hiring cleared roles consistently, you need support that understands your capture timeline and post-award urgency.

Why teams choose BizFirst
Why teams choose BizFirst
Results-driven recruiting with the structure and support you need
Client Delivery Lead supports just 3–4 government clients and is responsible for BizFirst’s recruiting delivery, coordinating recruiters and reviewing submissions so cleared hiring stays aligned, compliant, and responsive to protests, scope changes, and post-award shifts.
60+ years combined experience, including 12+ years in cleared positions for government contractors. We know the DMV cleared market and key military bases nationwide and deliver speed without sacrificing retention.
Unfilled billable roles create immediate revenue and delivery risk. For cleared positions, we move quickly by drawing from pre-vetted candidates with active clearances and reviewing every submission for fit before it reaches your team.
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.
