Anyone Can Send You
a Résumé.
The question a GovCon hiring manager actually has is whether the person can be billed compliantly on the vehicle funding the role — and whether they're legally allowed to work the account at all. That's a contracts question wearing a recruiting costume.
Eighteen years inside GSA, IRS, DoD, DOI, HHS, FTC, and Energy — plus a Harvard master's in IT. We know what a GS-14 actually did versus what the résumé claims, and we can evaluate the engineer, not just the paperwork.
Before you make an offer, we tell you which labor category the candidate maps to, whether the rate is defensible, and whether your contract will actually pay for them. We build LCATs and rate structures for GSA Schedules every week.
Post-government-employment restrictions under 18 U.S.C. 207 govern what a freshly departed fed can legally touch. Most hiring managers don't know those rules. We check before an offer goes out, not after.

Clearance is the gating variable in federal hiring, and it's the one a generalist recruiter treats as a checkbox. We verify status and currency before a candidate reaches your inbox — an expired clearance is a wasted interview loop.
You Can't Bid Without
Naming a PM.
Federal solicitations require named key personnel in the proposal — a Program Manager, a Technical Lead, sometimes more. If you can't name them, you can't bid. If you name someone weak, you lose on the evaluation.
We source named key personnel for active pursuits and secure letters of commitment on your proposal timeline — not your hiring timeline. Almost nobody does this well, and it's the difference between submitting and sitting one out.
Three Ways to Work
With Us
Pick the model that matches how much hiring you're actually doing.
What Working With
Us Looks Like
The position, the clearance requirement, the contract or vehicle it's funded under. We come back within 24 hours with a specific proposal — including an honest read on whether the role is fillable at the rate you have.
Before sourcing starts, we confirm the labor category, the rate, and the clearance requirement line up. This is the step that saves you from interviewing four people you can't afford to hire.
Clearance verified and current, technical background assessed, post-employment restrictions checked. Résumés arrive formatted for the way federal evaluators actually read them.
Scheduling, candidate communication, and keeping good people warm through a federal hiring cycle that is almost always slower than the candidate expects.
We support the offer, confirm nothing in the candidate's background creates a contract problem, and stay available through the start date.
Before You Ask
Tell Us the Role.
We'll Tell You If It's Fillable.
Send the position, the clearance requirement, and the vehicle it's funded under. You'll get an honest read within 24 hours — including when the answer is no.
