Defense contractor staffing cleared professionals for DoD, IC, and DHS missions
Assertive Professionals deploys cleared technical staff into defense and intelligence agencies, with a project mix heavy on security compliance (ICD 503), hardware reverse engineering, and database infrastructure. The org is security-weighted (12 of 17 staff in security roles) and hiring has decelerated, suggesting either full capacity or a tightening budget cycle — typical for government contractor firms dependent on contract wins and clearance timelines.
