The nations's largest network of Engineering
and IT Candidates with Active Clearances.

Use crowdsourcing to hire candidates that you'd otherwise never find.
Crowdsourcing is a cost-effective solution for recruiting challenges.
We understand the unique needs of the U.S. defense and intelligence community.

About Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing leverages the power of professional referral networks to identify and screen candidates that can't be found through other means. We generate engineering and IT candidate referrals for your open hiring needs from professionals doing similar work in the U.S. defense and intelligence community. All of our candidates are fully screened for alignment to your job requisition, geographic location, and compensation.

Cost Effective

Crowdsourcing is an innovative way to identify and hire hard-to-find talent at a significantly lower cost than recruiting agencies. There are no up-front costs. You decide exactly how much you are willing to pay per hire and only pay if you hire one of our network referrals. If you're tired of resume databases that don't lead to actual hires, job postings that attract all the wrong candidates, and agencies that try to force their fee structures on you, then you should set up a time to speak with us.

Security Clearances

The right skills to get the job done and the right clearance to get to the job. From Secret and Top Secret Clearances to SSBI, SCI, DoE Q, CI/FS Poly, Special Access (SAP), and other more unusual clearances, we have you covered. All of our candidates are screened for clearance status (e.g. active, current, prior, etc.) and we can be as targeted or open as you request.

Innovative Technology

Our crowdsourcing stack is made even more powerful through AI. We identify and target the members of our crowdsourcing referral network who are most likely to know prospects with the specific skill sets you are seeking. We then fully screen these referrals and, if everything checks out, pass the candidate information on to you. You set the referral fee and only pay it if you hire one of our referrals.

What is Crowdsourcing?

Crowdsourcing is the collection of information by enlisting the services of a large number of people via the internet. Crowdsourcing solutions typically involve managing networks of people with specialized skills.

ClearanceRecruiter works with multiple professional communities to help companies identify and recruit the right people for hiring needs in the U.S defense and intelligence community. We make use of both formal and informal networks to make qualified, cleared professionals aware of specific opportunities and we provide a platform for them to confidentially refer their colleagues. Think of a corporate "employee referral program" but at a scale that even the largest companies could never replicate. We then use our network to screen all referrals to make certain they are both qualified and interested.
