Tier one talent & Intel Recruiting

Navigating Federal Contracts. Delivering Mission-Ready Talent.

Tier One Talent is a federal consulting partner that helps government contractors, federal agencies, and mission-driven organizations successfully navigate the complexities of the federal and defense contracting space. We don’t replace the critical roles you need to operate — we guide you in identifying what roles are essential, who you need in them, and how to secure the right talent to deliver on mission objectives. Our role is to arm your organization with the strategy, insight, and high-impact candidates that position you to win, comply, and perform.

With deep expertise in U.S. government contracting and cleared talent acquisition, we provide end-to-end advisory support — from opportunity identification and capture strategy, to proposal staffing plans, to subcontractor negotiations and compliance oversight.

We have worked with Primes, Subs, and federal agencies — including within the Intelligence Community — to:

Assess organizational needs and define mission-critical roles
Advise on federal acquisition strategies and contract negotiations
Build targeted pipelines for cleared & uncleared talent (entry to executive)
Support RFP/RFQ responses with staffing solutions that strengthen bids
Guide teams through compliance, option years, and workshare agreements
Connect clients with vetted, high-impact professionals who meet mission requirements

Whether you’re a small business breaking into the federal market or an established contractor preparing for your next recompete, Tier One Talent delivers the insight, connections, and execution you need to achieve a competitive advantage. If you need a trusted partner who understands federal acquisition rules, organizational structure requirements, and how to deliver the right cleared talent — Tier One Talent is ready to guide you.
