During each of the 2010 Cleared Job Fairs, participating security cleared job seekers were given the opportunity to vote for the nation’s top recruiting experience from a pool of employers seeking professionals with active security clearances.

Over 5,000 job seekers in the security cleared marketplace have since selected more than 120 recruiters from government agencies and defense and intelligence government contractor companies as the best in the industry nationwide. We want to show these chosen recruiters how much we appreciate their efforts. It’s important to us that we take the time to appreciate our partners who work so hard.

Job fairs can be a trying experience on both the recruiters and the job seekers. By making this a pleasurable experience, everyone wins. The recruiters recognized as ‘best’ are those who spend extra time with the job seekers to help them better understand the opportunities with their companies. These ‘best’ recruiters often go above and beyond to assist job seekers with their career search. The program is very well received by both the job seekers and the recruiters at our Cleared Job Fairs.

Recruiters from the following companies were selected:
• Booz Allen Hamilton
• CACI
• CSC
• General Dynamics IT
• L-3 Communications GS&ES
• L-3 Communications STRATIS
• Lockheed Martin
• Northrop Grumman
• Invertix
• Morgan Franklin
• Raytheon
• SAIC
• Transportation Safety Administration
• Serco

At this year’s Best Recruiter Celebration — an exclusive, invitation-only event being held on November 18, 2010 at the DoubleTree Hotel’s Windows over Washington restaurant in Arlington, Virginia just before that day’s Cleared Job Fair — renowned recruiting professional Gerry Crispin, Principal of CareerXroads, will be the featured keynote speaker. Gerry is extremely enthusiastic about creating a positive candidate experience. I thoroughly enjoyed his presentation The Candidate Experience: Engage Them or Enrage Them at this year’s debut recruitment education event recruitDC. Gerry will further inspire our ‘Best Recruiters’ with his insights and extensive experience in the field.
