Missionforce National Security Achieves ‘Awardable’ Status for Department of War Recruiting Capabilities in the CDAO's Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace

SAN FRANCISCO & WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Salesforce, the world’s #1 Agentic CRM, today announced it has received “Awardable” status for Missionforce National Security personnel recruiting through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace. This designation gives Department of War (DOW) organizations direct access to Salesforce’s recruiting solutions through the marketplace, helping military recruiters more effectively identify, engage, and retain qualified talent to support mission readiness.

The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace (TSM) is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the DOW’s suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of advanced technology, machine learning (ML), digital, and data analytics capabilities.

The DOW currently faces a significant critical talent shortfall, particularly across cyber and specialized technical fields, with approximately 20,000 vacant positions impacting operational readiness across the U.S. Armed Services. To close personnel gaps, leadership set a goal to streamline hiring timelines down from months to 25 days.

Missionforce National Security addresses this challenge by modernizing recruiting and retention through intelligent automation, analytics, and marketing capabilities that help military recruiters work more efficiently, improve the recruit experience, and strengthen talent retention.

“National Security comes down to the people behind the mission, and we’re enabling defense leaders to recruit at the speed that mission demands. Missionforce National Security brings trusted technology directly into the hands of recruiters to collapse hiring timelines and cut through administrative friction — ensuring our armed forces can maintain peak force readiness, meet critical end-strength targets, and stay focused on what matters most.” — Kendall Collins, CEO of Missionforce & Government Cloud

Authorized at Impact Level 5 (IL5), Missionforce National Security leverages Agentforce 360, powered by Public Sector Solutions, Data 360, Marketing Cloud, and Tableau Next, for its personnel recruiting capabilities to establish a secure, federated data foundation. Connecting personnel data and the full recruiting lifecycle — without requiring agencies to rip and replace existing legacy systems — personnel recruiting builds on a proven infrastructure already supporting the U.S. Armed Services. Key capabilities include:

• Agentic talent engagement: Recruiters can deploy Marketing Cloud to auto-generate targeted recruiting campaigns in seconds using plain-language prompts, significantly accelerating candidate outreach.
• Accelerated verification: Automated workflows verify candidate qualifications including ASVAB scores, role eligibility, and clearance status while proactively flagging potential access anomalies to protect the mission.
• Proactive retention: Integrated Tableau analytics link engagement signals, performance metrics, and promotion timelines to identify attrition risks, enabling leadership to conduct proactive outreach before vacancies occur.
• Mission-ready, fast: Missionforce National Security plugs into existing DOW systems and data, giving personnel and recruiting leaders a single, trusted view, quickly and securely.
• Strict governance and oversight: Engineered for the DOW's most sensitive missions, Missionforce National Security enforces rigorous IL5 governance and data security protocols while maintaining critical human oversight over all agentic actions.

“Every open position in the armed services impacts U.S. national security. With Missionforce National Security’s personnel recruiting capabilities now available on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, we’re able to put proven, mission-ready technology directly into the hands of defense leaders faster. By accelerating how the Department of War recruits, verifies, and retains specialized talent, we are proud to play a part in helping reduce personnel shortfalls and enabling our military to maintain an enduring operational edge.” — Kevin Paschuck, EVP, Global Public Sector at Salesforce
