The Opportunity

Problem

Govtech founders struggle to hire talent with security clearances for distributed remote teams due to location-based clearance restrictions.

Solution

ClearRemoteMatch verifies security clearances and remote eligibility, then uses AI to match candidates to startup roles based on skills, clearance level, and location flexibility. Founders post jobs and get curated shortlists of pre-vetted talent willing to work distributed. Candidates build profiles highlighting portable clearances for remote gigs.

Target Audience
