Independent Cleared Recruiter TS/SCI & Polygraph

Razor is expanding its network of independent recruiting partners and is seeking experienced cleared recruiters with established relationships in the TS/SCI and polygraph community.

This is not a traditional recruiting position. We are looking for recruiters who are already embedded in the cleared technical market and have an active network of professionals supporting the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and other federal programs.

The ideal recruiting partner has demonstrated success identifying and engaging difficult-to-find cleared professionals, particularly candidates holding TS/SCI clearances with CI or Full Scope Polygraphs.

As an Independent Cleared Recruiter supporting Razor, you will have the opportunity to work selected high-priority cleared requirements based on your experience, candidate network, and areas of specialization.

This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity, not a W-2 position. Independent recruiting partners will leverage their existing professional networks, candidate relationships, referrals, and sourcing resources to identify and introduce qualified cleared professionals.

Razor manages the client relationship, employment process, onboarding, payroll, benefits, and ongoing employment of candidates hired through our programs. Our independent recruiting partners focus on identifying, engaging, qualifying, and introducing exceptional cleared talent.

Razor recruits highly technical professionals supporting federal government programs, including:

• Software Engineers and Full Stack Developers
• Systems Engineers and Systems Administrators
• Cloud Engineers and Architects
• DevOps and DevSecOps Engineers
• Cybersecurity Professionals and ISSOs
• Network Engineers
• Infrastructure and Platform Engineers
• Data Engineers and Data Scientists
• AI/ML Engineers
• Technical Project and Program Professionals
• Other specialized cleared technical professionals

Many opportunities require active TS/SCI, CI Polygraph, or Full Scope Polygraph clearances.

• Demonstrated success recruiting and placing TS/SCI-cleared professionals.
• Experience recruiting candidates with CI and/or Full Scope Polygraphs.
• An established and active network within the cleared technical community.
• Existing relationships with candidates supporting the Intelligence Community, DoD, and federal government programs.
• Experience recruiting across software, cloud, cybersecurity, systems, infrastructure, data, AI/ML, or related technical disciplines.
• Strong knowledge of cleared talent markets, particularly Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., Fort Meade, and Annapolis Junction.
• Experience supporting federal contractors and government programs.
• Ability to independently identify, engage, qualify, and introduce candidates.
• Demonstrated ability to move quickly on difficult and high-priority requirements.
• Strong communication and candidate relationship-management skills.

This opportunity is designed specifically for experienced recruiters who already have access to the cleared candidate community.

Your value comes from your network, relationships, market knowledge, and ability to reach cleared professionals who may not be actively searching traditional job boards.

Razor is particularly interested in recruiting partners who can quickly generate qualified introductions for difficult TS/SCI and polygraph requirements.

Independent recruiting partners can choose the Razor opportunities that best align with their networks and areas of expertise.

• No required working hours
• No geographic restrictions
• No minimum activity requirements
• No traditional recruiting quotas
• No limit on successful placements
• No requirement to leave your existing recruiting business or other clients

This structure is designed for established cleared recruiters who want to leverage their existing network without taking on another full-time recruiting position.

Razor provides highly skilled technical and professional talent supporting federal government and government contracting customers. We specialize in rapidly identifying and deploying qualified professionals across mission-critical federal programs, with significant experience supporting cleared technical environments and difficult-to-fill requirements.

Our recruiting capabilities span cybersecurity, software development, cloud, infrastructure, systems engineering, data, AI/ML, and other highly specialized technical disciplines.

If you have genuine depth in the TS/SCI, CI Polygraph, or Full Scope Polygraph recruiting market and an established network of cleared professionals, we'd like to hear from you.
