Cleared Job Fair Nov. 5 Brings NSA, Space Force Recruiters to Downtown San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO, TX — Recruiters from the National Security Agency, the U.S. Space Force and four defense and security contractors are coming downtown on Thursday, November 5, for a ClearanceJobs career fair at the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk. It runs from 4 to 7 p.m., late enough to come straight from a shift at Lackland or Port San Antonio, and it is built for one kind of job seeker: people who already hold a U.S. government security clearance.
A three-hour evening fair for cleared professionals, two weeks out, with six employers already named. Register ahead and bring your clearance details.

🔥 Who's Recruiting at the Downtown Cleared Job Fair
ClearanceJobs, the hiring network that specializes in jobs requiring a federal security clearance, lists six organizations for the San Antonio fair so far: the National Security Agency, the U.S. Space Force, Amentum, Core4ce, Goldbelt and Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services.
The location makes sense. San Antonio carries the Military City USA nickname for a reason, and NSA Texas operates out of Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, alongside a cyber and defense community that reaches out to Port San Antonio.
The organizer has not published a list of open positions or a hiring count for the event. Treat the employer list as who will be in the room, not as a promise of specific openings, and check each employer's careers page before you go.
⚠️ Read This Before You Register
This is not a general job fair. The event's registration page describes it as a chance for cleared talent to meet recruiters for positions that require a security clearance and, in some cases, a polygraph. ClearanceJobs has not posted a minimum clearance level for this date, so if you are unsure whether your background fits, contact the organizer through the event page before you drive downtown.
No admission fee is listed, and the organizer's page notes that registration may still be opening. Sign up through the official link above as soon as it is live.
If you are a veteran or military spouse without an active clearance, the better fit this fall is the Hiring Red, White & You! veterans job fair on Monday, November 9 at the Boeing Center at Tech Port. Different event, different day, different requirements.
