Black Powder Search

Employer portal

Your own window into the talent pool.

Approved employers get a private, branded portal: the veterans we have available, a shortlist you control, and a straight line to an introduction. Your team sees one place instead of a thread of forwarded résumés.

How access works

Four steps, and one of them is a signature.

  1. 01

    You request access

    Tell us who you are and what you are hiring for. It takes a minute, and a person reads it.

  2. 02

    We approve the account

    We review every request by hand. We are a retained and contingent search firm, not a job board, so the pool is not open to everyone.

  3. 03

    You sign the agreement

    Site use and fees, in full, on screen. An account owner accepts it — we record who signed, when, and exactly what they were shown. Nothing opens until this is done.

  4. 04

    Your portal opens

    A workspace of your own, branded to you, showing available veteran talent. Shortlist people, request introductions, and track each one through to a hire.

We are explicit about step 3 because it is the part most portals bury. You see the full agreement, including fees, before anything opens — and you will not be asked to agree to terms you cannot read on the page in front of you.

What you get

Inside your portal

The available pool

Every veteran we currently represent, searchable by clearance, function, seniority and location.

A shortlist your team shares

Save candidates, add notes, and move each one through saved, introduced, interviewing, offer, hired.

Introductions on request

One click tells us who you want to meet. We confirm the fit and make the introduction directly.

Your branding

Your logo, your accent color, your hiring brief at the top — so your own stakeholders recognize it as yours.

Engagement models available through the portal: Retained search · Contingent search · Outsourced recruiting

Request portal access

Tell us about your company and what you are hiring for. We review every request by hand and reply the same day.

We reply to every inquiry. Usually same day.

Next step

Tell us the role. We will tell you who is already ready for it.

An onboarding call with our COO and the lead recruiter, and you will know within the week whether the person you need is already in our pool.
