# Ayla > Ayla is a recruiting firm and talent-sourcing platform for the U.S. government market, operated by Civ Network, Inc. It head-hunts for agencies, government contractors and defense-tech startups, and it runs the continuous record of U.S. public-sector hiring — every posting from 640+ official sources, observed without a gap since 2025-12-07 — that those searches are built on. Ayla sells two things: hiring software where searching is free and you pay only to open a candidate's contact details, and recruiting on retained or contingency terms, run by the founder on the same data. The public job search, map and analytics at aylagov.com run on that same record — they are free, need no account, and are the working sample of the data rather than a separate product. Listings come from 640+ official sources: USAJobs, all 50 state portals, 110+ cities, 57 counties, and government contractors. ## For employers, agencies & contractors Ayla sells two things to employers. - [Ayla — the software](https://aylagov.com/): Describe a role in a sentence and Ayla shows every organization hiring it, what they advertise, actual federal pay by occupational series from OPM, federal hires and separations by quarter, and the people doing that work today, ranked against the brief with the reason for each rank. A role report per role saves as PDF and can re-run monthly. Searching is unlimited and free; you pay only to enrich a candidate's contact details. Plans are per seat and per month — Identify $199 (250 contact details a seat), Qualify $499 (800, plus Talent Insights and the Chrome extension) and Pipeline $999 (2,000) — with details pooled across the team; pricing is at https://aylagov.com/#pricing. One credit opens one channel: a personal email, a work email or a phone. Access starts with a working session on one open role and is opened by hand — there is no self-serve checkout today, and the published price is the price. - [Ayla Recruiting — we run the search](https://aylagov.com/government-recruiting): Ayla will source, screen and deliver a shortlist for roles in government, defense, national security and the startups building for them. Scoped per engagement rather than per credit, so it is priced against your actual roles. Send the roles through the contact form and Ayla replies within two business days with what is realistically reachable for them. ## Jobs - [Government jobs](https://aylagov.com/government-jobs): The pillar page for U.S. government jobs — live listings from every level of government plus how federal, state, county and city hiring actually works (eligibility, federal resumes, GS grades, clearances, timelines).
