Success Stories

After five years in a corporate IT role, I wanted to apply my skills to more meaningful work. Holding an NV2 clearance from my previous government position, I knew I had valuable credentials but wasn't sure where to start looking.

Vetted made the process incredibly simple. Within days of creating my profile, I received interest from three defence contractors looking for cyber security analysts with my exact skill set. The platform's focus on cleared roles meant every opportunity was relevant to my qualifications.

I accepted a position at a leading defence contractor within three weeks. The role allows me to work on cutting-edge security projects protecting national interests, with a 35% salary increase from my previous job. More importantly, I'm part of a team doing work that genuinely matters.

What impressed me most was how respectful the process was of security requirements. Employers understood clearance protocols, and I never felt pressured to disclose inappropriate information. Vetted truly understands the cleared workforce.

Transitioning from military service to civilian employment felt daunting. I had 12 years of intelligence experience and an active NV1 clearance, but I didn't know how to translate my military background for civilian recruiters.

Vetted's platform was a game-changer. The employers posting jobs clearly understood military experience and the value of security clearances. I didn't have to explain acronyms or justify my qualifications - they got it immediately.

Within two weeks, I had interviews with two government departments and a consulting firm. All three roles were perfect matches for my background. I chose a policy analyst position that leverages my operational experience to inform strategic decisions.

The best part? My clearance was immediately recognized and transferred, saving months of waiting. I started my new role just six weeks after beginning my job search. The salary was competitive, and I'm finally using my experience to continue serving Australia in a new capacity.

As a senior software engineer with 15 years of experience, I was frustrated applying for general tech roles that didn't value my NV2 clearance. Most recruiters didn't understand that my clearance represented years of vetting and significant value to employers.

Discovering Vetted was like finding my professional home. Every job posting specifically required clearances, which meant my credentials were an asset, not just a footnote. Employers immediately understood my value proposition.

I applied to a senior engineering role at a defence technology provider. The interview process was thorough but moved quickly because my clearance was already active. Within four weeks, I had an offer for a challenging role building secure systems for critical infrastructure.

The salary was 40% higher than my previous position, and I'm working with cutting-edge technology that can't be outsourced. I'm finally being compensated fairly for both my technical skills and my clearance. Vetted connected me with an opportunity I would never have found through traditional job boards.

Fresh out of university with a newly obtained Baseline clearance, I was competing against experienced project managers for entry-level cleared roles. Traditional job boards were overwhelming, with thousands of irrelevant postings and no focus on cleared positions.

Vetted streamlined everything. I could immediately see which roles matched my clearance level and experience. The platform helped me understand that even Baseline clearance was valuable to employers who needed to fill positions quickly.

I applied to a graduate program at a government IT services provider. The hiring manager specifically mentioned that my active Baseline clearance set me apart from other candidates and saved them months in onboarding time.

Six weeks later, I started my career in a structured program that provides training, mentorship, and a clear path to higher clearances and more senior roles. My starting salary exceeded my expectations, and I'm building a foundation for a long-term career in the cleared workforce. Vetted gave me the confidence that my clearance was a genuine competitive advantage.
