How it works
From intake to placement in four steps
Our process is designed for speed without sacrificing fit. We deliver qualified, cleared candidates — not resume volume.
Intake and scoping
We learn your program requirements, clearance needs, technical stack, and team culture. A real conversation, not a form.
Targeted sourcing
We activate our cleared talent network — built over years of defense recruiting — and source candidates who match your specific requirements.
Screening and presentation
We screen for clearance verification, technical fit, and culture alignment. You receive a shortlist of qualified candidates with detailed profiles.
Placement and follow-through
We manage the offer process and stay engaged through the first 90 days. Our ~2% attrition rate reflects the quality of our matches.

What employers say
Trusted by hiring managers in defense and technology
"We needed three TS/SCI-cleared engineers in 30 days for a new program. Diriga delivered all three, and two of them were better than anyone our internal team had sourced in six months."
"The difference with Diriga is that they actually understand what we do. They do not send us a stack of resumes — they send us candidates who can walk into a SCIF and contribute on day one."
