Technology Staffing
Mission-Ready IT Talent, Built Around a Veteran-First Pipeline
Lighthouse places cleared and mission-capable technology professionals for federal agencies, defense contractors, municipalities, and primes — with speed, accountability, and a talent pipeline that starts with those who served.
Your contract requires cleared IT talent, your timeline is tight, and the usual staffing firms don’t have access to the candidates you actually need. Lighthouse manages the full placement process — from sourcing veterans and cleared professionals to aligning candidates to your labor categories and contract requirements — without the runaround.

We source veterans first for every role, align candidates to your contract labor categories, and move fast enough to support pre-award proposals and post-award mobilization.
The U.S. has a shortage of over 500,000 cybersecurity professionals — and government contracts are feeling it first.

Help Desk & Desktop Support Staffing

The Veteran Pipeline — Our Core Differentiator
Every Lighthouse staffing engagement begins with our veteran-first talent pipeline. Veterans bring security clearance eligibility, mission discipline, and government IT experience that civilian candidates often lack. As an SDVOSB ourselves, we understand what it means to serve — and we build our talent pool to reflect that. Veterans are screened first for every open position. When cleared talent is required, our pipeline gives you access to a pool that other staffing firms simply don't have.
