Maximum flexibility and zero tie-ins
Got a security-cleared requirement but need a more flexible, low-risk approach? That’s perfectly fine – sometimes keeping your options open is what’s needed.
We take on a limited number of Direct Hire clients each quarter, so you receive focused attention without being locked into exclusivity. Our process is fully transparent, and the fee is straightforward at 25%.
We understand that contingency is the model many clients are familiar with and comfortable using. Fortunately, this is where we excel. Our deep market knowledge, strong candidate network, and proven process ensure that even on a non-exclusive contingency basis, we deliver cleared talent quickly and reliably.

A little commitment for big savings
In an industry where commitment is rare, we take a different approach: if you commit, we’ll commit. With a Cyberstrike micro-retainer, you invest a small $1,000 deposit – less than 5% of a typical fee – to show you’re serious and working with us exclusively.
That commitment unlocks an enhanced service proven to deliver. Over 90% of roles are filled within just 10 working days, and we guarantee to fill every position we take on.
Your $1,000 deposit isn’t an added cost; it’s applied to your final fee, which we also reduce to just 20%. The result? A faster, more reliable process that builds trust, saves money, and secures cleared talent quickly.
