What began in 2021 as a first-of-its-kind gathering for recruiters in the national security space has quickly become a fixture on the cleared-talent calendar. The inaugural ClearanceJobs Connect brought government and industry leaders together to discuss candidate scarcity, employer branding, recruiter burnout and the emerging Trusted Workforce 2.0 framework. By 2022, attendance had nearly tripled to more than 200 people, and the event had added distinct afternoon tracks for recruiting and security professionals.That history sets the stage for ClearanceJobs Connect 2026, scheduled for October 15–16 at the Carahsoft office in Reston, Virginia. The two-day agenda combines cleared recruiting strategy, security-policy updates, leadership lessons, emerging technology and practical training. For talent acquisition professionals supporting the national security community, the result is a concentrated look at both the pressures shaping today’s market and the practices likely to define what comes next.

There’s an idea that some people have about the cleared space: if you want to work in national security, you’re supposed to fit into a certain box. There’s a traditional path. A traditional résumé. A certain kind of background that makes you look like you “belong” in the room. After our recent conversation with Jessie Levin from the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum (DEF) on the Security Clearance Careers Podcast, we walked away thinking we need to throw that box out entirely. Because national security doesn’t just need one type of person. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This episode of Security Clearance Insecurity covers a timely issue facing the cleared workforce. Lindy Kyzer talks with Mike Flanders, founder of SudoTouch, about the technology gap slowing SCI nomination processing and how automation can help security offices keep pace with Trusted Workforce 2.0's shift to continuous vetting.

Every year, the ClearanceJobs Cleared Recruiting Survey provides a snapshot of what’s really happening inside the cleared hiring market. But behind every chart and percentage are recruiters navigating an increasingly complex mix of technology, compensation pressures, hard-to-fill roles, and changing candidate expectations.In a recent podcast conversation, we sat down with Jill Hamilton, who manages the Cleared Recruiting Survey, to go behind the numbers and discuss what stood out in the 2026 results.

Recruiters have more technology than ever—sourcing platforms, applicant tracking systems, automation and AI. So why do they still spend so much time on administrative work?It’s an interesting question for someone who has experienced recruiting technology from both sides: first as a talent acquisition leader and now as someone helping organizations rethink that experience with AgileATS.The bigger question is simple: Are we building technology around the way recruiters actually work—or asking recruiters to work around their technology?

When you think about high-paying jobs in the cleared community, it’s easy to jump straight to software engineering, cloud computing, or other highly technical careers.But coding isn’t the only path to a lucrative cleared career.Across the national security workforce, employers need professionals who can analyze intelligence, manage programs, design training, communicate across languages, understand military operations, conduct research, and even bring creative ideas to life.If you have an active security clearance and the right combination of experience, education, and specialized skills, there are plenty of career paths worth exploring. Here are 12 cleared roles that demonstrate just how diverse the six-figure job market can be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Success can be measured in a lot of ways—titles, accomplishments, awards, or years of experience. But making a difference is something bigger. It’s about the impact you leave on the people, organizations, and communities around you.That idea is at the heart of the Difference Maker Top 100, a list created by Trish to recognize individuals whose work and leadership are creating meaningful change.In a recent conversation with Trish, we went behind the scenes of the Difference Maker Top 100 to learn why she created the list, what makes someone a true difference maker, and why taking the time to recognize impactful people matters.
