Why cleared professionals
choose Clearance.
Every alternative was built for the general market and retrofitted for cleared hiring. We were built for the SCIF first. Select a spoke to see the data.
See how Clearance outperforms the legacy incumbent on verified roles and active clearance requirements.
Dice lists general IT roles. Clearance lists only positions where cleared candidates are mandatory.
No cold InMail. No "I came across your profile." Just verified defense contractors with open reqs.
Internal teams average 74 days to fill cleared roles. Our pre-vetted pipeline cuts that by 94%.
Clearance vs. ClearanceJobs
ClearanceJobs has been around since 2000. So has a lot of their UX. We were built for the 2026 IC hiring market — not retrofitted for it.
"I had three interviews lined up within 72 hours of uploading my résumé. I'd been on ClearanceJobs for four months with two callbacks."
— Marcus T., Red Team Operator, TS/SCI w/ Full-Scope PolyClearance vs. Dice
Dice is a general tech board that added a clearance filter. That's like using a metal detector to find a needle in a SCIF — technically possible, deeply inefficient.
"Dice showed me 400 "cybersecurity" jobs. Maybe 8 actually required a clearance. Clearance showed me 40 jobs and I was qualified for 38."
— Priya N., Cloud Security Architect, TS/SCIClearance vs. LinkedIn
LinkedIn is optimized for visibility. Cleared professionals need the opposite — zero public footprint, verified employers, and no "I came across your profile" cold messages.
"I have a TS/SCI w/ Poly. The last thing I need is my employment history publicly searchable. Clearance gets that. LinkedIn never did."
— James W., Senior SOC Analyst, NSA ContractorClearance vs. Internal Recruiters
Internal cleared hiring teams are overwhelmed. FSOs manage 40+ open reqs with manual clearance verification. We automate the pipeline they're drowning in.
"We had 11 open TS/SCI reqs going into Q3. Clearance filled 9 of them in 6 weeks. Our internal team had been working those same reqs for four months."
