Frequently Asked Questions


How does SeekOut find security-cleared candidates?

SeekOut maintains a database of 3.7M+ security-cleared candidates with active or recent clearances including TS/SCI, Secret, Confidential, and Public Trust. AI-powered search lets you filter by clearance level, technical skills, certifications, and location.

What clearance levels can SeekOut search?

SeekOut supports searches across all major U.S. security clearance levels: Top Secret/SCI, Top Secret, Secret, Confidential, Public Trust, and interim clearances. You can combine clearance filters with skills, experience, and location criteria.

Why is cleared talent sourcing difficult?

Security-cleared professionals are in high demand and rarely post on traditional job boards. Their clearance status is sensitive information not typically listed on public profiles. SeekOut's specialized data sources identify cleared candidates that other platforms cannot reach.

What types of cleared roles does SeekOut fill?

SeekOut helps recruit for cybersecurity analysts, intelligence analysts, defense contractors, systems engineers, program managers, and other roles requiring government security clearances across DoD, IC, and federal civilian agencies.

Can SeekOut find candidates with interim or expired clearances?

Yes. SeekOut can identify candidates with interim clearances as well as those whose clearances have recently expired. Candidates with expired clearances can often be re-investigated faster than starting a new clearance process, making them valuable hires for programs with urgent staffing needs.
