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 DefTechRoles · hello@deftechroles.com
CompTIA Partner Program
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 DefTechRoles
