For employers
Stop sorting resumes. Start meeting candidates who fit.
We deliver qualified, cleared candidates — not volume. Our recruiting team understands your programs, your clearance requirements, and your technical needs.
Why Diriga
Recruiting built for defense and technical hiring managers
General staffing firms treat defense and cleared hiring like any other vertical. They send unvetted resumes, do not verify clearances, and leave you to screen dozens of unqualified candidates.
Diriga Recruiting was built specifically for this market. Our recruiters have defense sector experience, understand clearance timelines, and maintain active relationships with cleared professionals across six defense hubs.
Our process
How we find the right people
Technical intake — not a job description drop
We spend time learning your program context, team dynamics, clearance requirements, and what "success" looks like for this hire. This conversation shapes every sourcing decision.
Network-first sourcing
We source from our active cleared talent network before posting to job boards. This means faster results and candidates who are already vetted for clearance and technical fit.
Clearance and skills verification
We verify clearance status, validate technical skills, and assess cultural fit before any candidate reaches your desk. You interview candidates who are ready to contribute.
Post-placement engagement
We stay connected through the first 90 days and beyond. Our ~2% attrition rate is not luck — it is the result of quality matching and ongoing engagement.
Case studies
Results that hiring managers care about
3 TS/SCI engineers in 30 days
A defense prime needed three cleared systems engineers for a new intelligence program. Our network delivered all three within 30 days — two of whom had been passively sourced months earlier.
Full SOC team build in 60 days
A cybersecurity firm won a government contract and needed a six-person SOC team. We staffed all six positions, including a team lead with Secret clearance, in under 60 days.
12-month embedded recruiting
An aerospace company embedded our recruiting team for 12 months to support a large-scale hiring initiative. We placed 28 engineers across four clearance levels.
