About Headlamp
A Machinist's Mate ran the mechanical plant on a warship. Your applicant tracking system reads "MM2, USS Bainbridge" as nothing. That isn't a talent shortage — it's a translation failure, repeated hundreds of thousands of times a year. MATCHING THAT READS THE JOB Post the role you can't fill. The Talent SmartGrid™ reads every requirement — certifications, equipment, the work itself — turns them into the skills and credentials that define "qualified," then matches those against what veterans can prove they've done, whatever it was called in uniform. Every match shows what's confirmed and what needs confirming, in tiers: exact fit or adjacent. Never a percentage, never a score we made up. When we don't have someone, we say so. DIGITAL SKILL BADGES Verified Skill Badges turn service and fellowship work into portable, supervisor-endorsed credentials on the Open Badges 3.0 standard — checkable in one click, theirs to keep. Four levels: verified, supervisor confirmed, would hire again, was hired. Earned by evidence, never bought. (Coming soon; the SkillBridge Credential is live.) INTO THE SYSTEM YOU ALREADY RUN Requisitions come out of your ATS; matched veterans go back in, evidence attached. Nobody learns a new tool. (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS coming soon — until then our team does the handoff.) SKILLBRIDGE, HANDLED Headlamp is an authorized third-party DoD SkillBridge provider — a service member works your real requirements for up to 180 days while DoD pays their salary. We build and manage the training plan. Participation never promises or guarantees employment. Self-serve from $299/month — 60-day free trial, $2,500 per placement, no sales call, no percentage of salary. Or plug us in. Or hand it to our team. CoreFit™ translates military experience into civilian competencies. DemandScore™ prioritises the hardest roles to fill. Working today for NWN and Groundworks. Veterans are free, forever.
