One Conversation Could Change Everything.

For the first time since 2020, reStartEvents is bringing highly cleared professionals and leading employers together for an exclusive in-person recruiting experience unlike any traditional career fair.

This is not a crowded convention hall filled with booths, long lines, and rushed conversations.

Instead, we've designed an event focused on what matters most: meaningful connections between highly sought-after cleared professionals and employers actively hiring.

Participating companies will review resumes in advance and help select the candidates they would most like to meet. This means employers arrive already knowing who they want to connect with, creating more productive conversations and significantly increasing the value of every interaction.

If selected to attend, you'll join a limited group of highly cleared professionals for an evening of networking, career exploration, and face-to-face conversations with recruiters, hiring managers, and decision-makers from some of the nation's leading defense contractors, intelligence organizations, and technology companies.

Why This Event Is Different

• Employers review resumes before the event
• Participating companies help select the candidates they want to meet
• No crowded job fair environment
• No standing in line waiting for a brief conversation
• Face-to-face access to recruiters and hiring teams
• Highly targeted networking with employers actively hiring
• Complimentary beer, wine, and hors d'oeuvres

How The Selection Process Works

• Register and submit your resume for consideration.
• Your resume will be shared with participating employers.
• Employers will review candidate profiles and help select the professionals they would most like to meet.
• Selected candidates will receive an invitation containing event details and location information.

Even if you are not selected to attend the event, your resume will still be shared with participating employers, providing valuable exposure to companies actively recruiting cleared talent.

Who Should Attend?

This event is designed for professionals holding an active:

• TS/SCI Security Clearance
• TS/SCI with CI Polygraph
• TS/SCI with Full Scope / Lifestyle Polygraph

Professionals from all disciplines are encouraged to apply, including:
