How do primes get resumes for a proposal?

Send the labor category, clearance and place of performance. Our recruiters return qualified resumes with signed commitment letters.

Can you find cleared people?

We infer who is likely cleared from work history and reach them first. Only your security officer verifies a clearance.

You do. Ayla recruits and you hire directly, so the person joins your payroll and your security program.

A placement fee when your hire starts, quoted per role in writing after a free market brief. No fee if you don’t hire.
