Permanent recruitment, IT contracting and security cleared talent across Europe and the Americas.
Names are withheld by agreement. Everything else below is the search as it ran.
A systems integrator needed an engineer who could hold NATO SECRET clearance, work inside a live command and control programme, and start before the winter release. Three agencies had already handed the role back.
The mistake was not effort. It was sequence. Everyone had searched for a cleared engineer, which is a very small number of people, all of them busy. We searched for engineers who could pass vetting, opened the procedure on the day the shortlist closed, and used the waiting period to run the technical assessment rather than to sit still.
Mapped the eleven organisations in Europe where this exact stack is operated.
Four candidates, none of whom were looking, two of them not searchable online.
Vetting opened for two in parallel, technical assessment run during the wait.
Cleared, contracted and on site, three weeks before the release.
