Recruiting firm for
Washington, DC.

BizFirst recruits for the organizations that run inside the federal core: agency mission-support contractors, the DC offices of national primes, and the financial-management and program teams that keep federal work funded and audit-ready. We are a senior-led boutique based minutes away in Ashburn, and we hire cleared and commercial talent four ways: an embedded recruiting team, contingent placement and executive search, contract staffing, and sourcing-only support.

Senior-led recruiting in Washington, DC

Built for program execution and financial accountability

The District runs on two things: programs that deliver and books that stay clean. BizFirst hires the people behind both, from the analysts who keep an agency program audit-ready to the cleared engineers who run the systems underneath it. A senior lead runs the whole search, intake through signed offer.

Financial management & audit readiness

The talent that keeps federal work funded and clean
