The Cleared Recruiting Intelligence Report · Q2 2026

General salary tools do not have cleared data, and surveys can be candidate-submitted. Neither one tells you what the market actually pays.

So we are publishing something different. Four years of verified placement data. Real hires. Real accepted offers. 100,000+ cleared candidate conversations.

Compensation

What cleared talent actually costs in 2026

Not what candidates say they make. What the market actually paid — verified against real offer letters across four years of placements.

The Threat

Your hiring pipeline is a national security perimeter

Government intelligence data on how foreign adversaries are targeting cleared contractors — and where they are getting in.

Strategy

Why most cleared recruiters are losing before they start

The outreach behavior data that shows exactly where cleared recruiting teams are leaving hires on the table — and what to do about it.

Not a survey.
Real market intelligence.

Mount Indie has conducted an estimated 100,000+ cleared candidate conversations since 2022. Ground Truth reflects that entire body of market intelligence.
