DefTechRoles combines job discovery, resume gap analysis, and training recommendations. This page lists data sources and programs we use or are applying to join.

DefTechRoles is a veteran-owned and operated business.

Some training and job links are affiliate referrals. DefTechRoles may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What We Offer Partners

Real value means qualified intent, not banner ads. We route candidates after they see skill gaps on a specific role.

  • Skill-gap-aware referrals: training links appear after resume is scored against real job keywords.
  • Tracked outbound enroll clicks with job context (affiliate_clicks table + UTM).
  • 433+ GovTech, Defense, and Aerospace roles with clearance filters and resume match scoring.
  • Featured job placement ($199) and verified employer profile on request.
  • Veteran-owned career platform focused on cleared and uncleared defense tech hiring.

Phase 1 · Foundation (you, ~1 week)

  1. Register USAJobs developer key → npm run setup:usajobs (free federal listings).
  2. Apply Udemy Affiliate → set UDEMY_REFERRAL_CODE wrangler secret when approved.
  3. Set RESEND_API_KEY for job alert emails (retention + proof of audience).
  4. Use honest labels: prep packs = study guides; partner enroll = affiliate until vendor approves.

Phase 2 · Credible affiliate (~2–4 weeks)

  1. Share traffic proof: affiliate click counts, evaluate sessions, top skill gaps.
  2. Apply CompTIA, Pluralsight, AWS Training affiliate or partner channels.
  3. Replace Udemy placeholder URLs in D1 with approved tracking links per course.
  4. Publish Partners page status updates as each program approves.

Phase 3 · Strategic partner (~1–3 months)

  1. ClearanceJobs: referral or data partnership with signed terms.
  2. Employer pilots: featured listings + verified badge for 2–3 defense contractors.
  3. Official vendor logos only after written permission.
  4. NVBDC or NaVOBA veteran business certification for procurement credibility.

How We Label Relationships

  • Active: live data or an approved integration feeding the board today.
  • Affiliate: tracked outbound link; we may earn a commission. No official logo unless the program allows it.
  • Applying: application or outreach in progress. Links on the site may still use placeholder URLs until approved.

    Referral partnership inquiry — DefTechRoles (veteran-owned cleared-tech board)

    Hi,
    
    I'm Jean, founder of DefTechRoles (https://deftechroles.com), a veteran-owned job discovery and resume gap platform for GovTech, Defense, and Aerospace candidates.
    
    We combine programmatic job listings with resume-to-role skill scoring and training recommendations mapped to real posting keywords. I'd like to explore a referral or listing partnership that sends qualified cleared candidates to ClearanceJobs when our board doesn't host the role directly.
    
    Happy to share traffic metrics, sample gap reports, and how we label outbound links today.
    
    Best,
    Jean

    Training partner inquiry — Security+ paths on defense job gap reports

    Hello,
    
    DefTechRoles (https://deftechroles.com) recommends certifications when candidates evaluate resumes against defense and cleared-tech job descriptions. Security+ is one of our most common gap recommendations.
    
    We'd like to join the CompTIA partner program so enroll links are official, tracked, and aligned with candidate intent. We disclose affiliate relationships clearly on every partner enroll button.
    
    Could we schedule a short call to review fit?
    
    Thank you,
    Jean
