RENT THE SCARIEST TALENT IN AMERICA
This is part 1 of why you want someone with a Top Secret Clearance leading innovation at your company; especially if you’re B2B or B2C. Everyone at XERAPHINA has a TS/SCI clearance and whether you hire us, or pull from your ATS, that’s not the point of this video/article.
It’s not about secrets. We’d never share those - there’s 3 hots and a cot at Leavenworth prison waiting for us if we do. There’s an ancient Chinese proverb: “To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.” The internet. Satellites. Flat screens. Siri. What do they have in common? DARPA research helped launch all of them. Technologies born in national security often become tomorrow’s consumer products. People who work in that world see the next wave of commercial tech early, and they know what it takes to make it real.
National security often confronts threats and requires innovation decades before markets do. While yes we’ve seen and been part of building wildly futuristic technologies, it’s actually about a way of thinking. A way of getting ahead of problems no one knows about, a ferocious cheat-code creativity-level in solitioning before anyone else even knows about the problem.
We’re trained on problems most industries won’t see for a decade and wired to deliver when failure isn’t an option. You’re not hiring the secrets, you’re hiring the mindset that get ahead of problems. Innovation is seeing the problem early enough to build the answer before your market adversary does. So in hiring TS/SCI talent you get early-mover advantage on dual-use trends.
