Case Study
Exclusive Recruitment Partnership
The Australian subsidiary of a large, global aerospace company required an exclusive specialist recruitment partner to provide 200+ security cleared IT staff. The project involved close collaboration between the aerospace company and the Australian Department of Defence and, as the staff would be placed in the largest data center consolidation project in Australian history, most roles required either an NV1 or NV2 clearance.
