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.

- 01 ### You request access Tell us who you are and what you are hiring for. It takes a minute, and a person reads it.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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

What does this role actually need to get done?

I agree that Black Powder Search may contact me about this inquiry.
Request access
We reply to every inquiry. Usually same day.

Before you ask

- **Requesting is not signing.** This form starts a conversation. The agreement comes later, in full, and you read it before you accept it.
- **Only an owner can bind your company.** Tell us who that should be and we will make them the account owner.
- **Candidate detail stays protected.** Names and current employers are shared when both sides agree to an introduction, not before.
