Every defense company in this town is fishing in the same pond.
The engineer with a clearance and the judgment to work on something hard already has four offers. You are bidding against companies with ten times your recruiting budget, and you are trying to ship at the same time.
On Wednesday, August 26, we are putting the people with that problem in one room, with a drink in their hand.
We are hosting this with Javier Dutan of Ayla. Ayla runs a live index of more than 144,000 government and defense roles pulled from 500 official sources, and works with contractors and national security teams three ways: posting roles to a government-native audience, sourcing from live market data, or taking the whole search off your hands. The hard ones are the point, whether that is a software engineer who can work in a classified environment, a nuclear physicist, a missile engineer, or the go-to-market person who actually understands federal buying.
Javier will share what he is seeing across the market right now. The rest of the evening is yours.
Come compare notes on where cleared people are actually coming from, what the good ones say yes to, and how a ten-person team wins a candidate away from a prime.
This room is built for:
-
Founders and hiring leads at gov and defense startups, Seed through Series B
-
Smaller GovCons and subcontractors staffing technical programs
-
Engineering and product leaders who own headcount
Wednesday, August 26 · 5:30 to 7:30 PMSTATION DC, 1323 4th St NE, Suite 200
