CHICAGO, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Expo Experts, a sub-brand of TalentAlly, is proud to introduce its newest product. Clearance Match reduces costs and logistical challenges of hiring security cleared talent by strategically matching employers with individuals with active security clearance and over 2 years of post-education work experience.

With security clearance jobs projected to rise by 7 - 10% through 2025, the demand for people who have already obtained their security clearance has become increasingly sought after by recruiters. With the introduction of Clearance Match, Expo Experts bridges this gap by efficiently pairing job seekers with recruiters based on their mutual requirements. Clearance Match streamlines recruitment in the security clearance industry by reducing employer search time and eliminating candidate clearance costs.

For employers, Clearance Match will reduce hiring costs for positions that require security clearance. Candidates on the platform must already have security clearance, preventing employers from having to pay the high costs of obtaining clearance for the people they hire. Furthermore, the intuitive and easy-to-use platform will simplify the logistics of filling highly specialized positions. Employers can search the candidate database based on security clearance level, skills and expertise, location, and salary expectations to only see candidates that meet their requirements.

Job seekers have the opportunity to explore career opportunities tailored to their expertise, goals, and clearance level, maximizing their opportunities and earning potential. This is a perfect solution for both passive and active job seekers. After creating a profile, job seekers will show up in employer searches when they meet all of the employer requirements. Alternatively, job seekers can actively express interest in specific jobs posted on the platform, and the platform presents the job seeker’s profile to the employer for consideration.

“At Expo Experts, we’ve built a trusted legacy of facilitating connections between top talent and employers, and Clearance Match takes that mission to the next level,” said Carrie Dunham, the co-Founder and Vice President of Sales for Expo Experts. “This innovative platform offers both candidates and employers a seamless, efficient experience. We couldn’t be more excited to launch this game-changing tool, and I look forward to seeing how it will shape the future of this security cleared hiring."
