The cleared talent pool is specific. So is the work we do in it.
Mission Integration Group serves in-house TA teams across eight cleared defense sectors. Select your sector to see how Claude-native recruiting applies to your specific programs and talent pool.

EIGHT SECTORS
COMMAND · CONTROL · COMMUNICATIONS · COMPUTERS · ISR
C4ISR
TS/SCI talent for AEHF, MUOS, JTRS, Link 16, and JADC2-adjacent programs. The clearance is the floor. Program knowledge is the credential.
INTELLIGENCE · SURVEILLANCE · RECONNAISSANCE
ISR Platforms & Sensors
EO/IR, SIGINT, UAS, and ground-based collection systems. ITAR and polygraph constraints shrink the pool dramatically. We know where the engineers are.
RADAR SYSTEMS · MISSILE DEFENSE
Radar & Air Defense
PATRIOT, THAAD, Aegis, LTAMDS, SHORAD. RF and radar experience doesn't transfer from the commercial world. A small pool with no margin for a slow search.
ELECTRONIC WARFARE · AVIONICS · COUNTERMEASURES
Defense Electronics
EW experience is classified by nature. The engineers who have it can't always say they have it. Evaluating them requires judgment the job description can't contain.
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING · CLEARED IT · DEVSECOPS
Cleared Software & IT
Cleared developers and IT professionals are not a subset of the commercial tech market. Active TS/SCI plus current technical skills is a genuinely scarce combination.
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY · ANALYSIS · COLLECTION
Defense Intelligence
Full-scope and CI polygraph requirements reduce the pool to a fraction of what it appears to be on paper. Passive sourcing is the only strategy that works here.
FIRE CONTROL · WEAPONS SYSTEMS · NAVAL COMBAT
Combat Systems
Aegis, CIWS, SPY-6, Mk 41, Paladin. Program experience is the credential, not the degree. Finding the right candidate means knowing the programs.
DOD ACQUISITION · EVMS · PROGRAM CONTROL
Program Management
Cleared PMs who understand FAR, DFARS, EVMS, and the full DoD acquisition lifecycle — with an active clearance — are rare. DAWIA and APDP credentials matter.
