Every metric we track connects back to a program's operational readiness. Attrition, time-to-fill, clearance match rates — these numbers represent real mission outcomes.
Numbers that reflect the quality of our placements and the strength of our cleared talent network.
Industry average for cleared staffing sits around 15-20%. Our 2% rate reflects the precision of our matching process and the depth of our candidate vetting.
Nine out of ten roles we fill require an active security clearance. This isn't a side practice — it's our core competency.
Embedded presence in Fort Liberty, Hampton Roads, San Antonio, Colorado Springs, Huntsville, and Tampa. Local networks, local candidates.
Clients come back because we deliver. A 95% return rate means our placements perform and our process works.
