Network and refer remote-ready cleared talent for govtech teams
Govtech founders struggle to hire talent with security clearances for distributed remote teams due to location-based clearance restrictions.
SecureNomadHub builds a private network where cleared pros signal remote availability and founders request referrals for specific clearances. It facilitates warm intros and tracks successful hires via a referral bounty system. This leverages peer trust to overcome location restrictions in distributed hiring.
