Cleared Defence and National Security Recruitment

SC, DV, and enhanced DV. Defence, intelligence, and critical national infrastructure. Discretion is the default.

Discretion is not optional

Work in the cleared defence and intelligence sectors requires a level of operational discretion that the volume-recruitment model cannot provide.

Our approach is built for this. We do not post roles publicly without client permission. We do not discuss specifics that should not be discussed. We understand that the candidate experience in this sector is different to civilian hiring, and we structure our work around that reality.

What we cover

We work across technical, operational, and leadership roles in defence, intelligence, and critical national infrastructure. Cyber security at SC, DV, and enhanced DV. Software engineering and AI-accelerated software engineering in cleared environments. Leadership roles where the security posture is a first-order requirement.

We do not list role types in detail because discretion begins with what we publish.

Who we work with

Prime contractors and system integrators

Organisations delivering capability into defence and intelligence programmes that require specific cleared roles filled with judgement and speed.

Defence and intelligence agencies

Direct hiring for permanent or fixed-term roles where the vetting level and the operational sensitivity require a recruiter who understands the context.

CNI operators

Critical national infrastructure environments where the consequence of failure is measured in national terms rather than commercial ones.

Vetting levels we recruit for

Security Check (SC), Developed Vetting (DV), and enhanced Developed Vetting (eDV). We understand the timeframes, the constraints, and the operational realities that come with each level.

Where roles require clearance sponsorship, we work with clients to clarify the pathway before sourcing begins. This is the kind of scoping work the platform was built to support.

Work in the cleared sector requires a different conversation

If you are hiring into defence, intelligence, or CNI environments, or if you hold clearance and are considering your next move, we should talk.
