About us

Led by President and Chief Executive Officer Lynda Lassiter, LKA & Associates, LLC is a full-service staffing and recruitment consulting firm with a long-standing reputation for integrity, professionalism, and results.

LKA specializes in delivering high-impact workforce solutions across the Intelligence Community (IC), Department of Defense (DoD), and broader public sector, with a focused emphasis on cleared technical talent. Our core areas of expertise include DevOps, High Performance Computing (HPC), AI/Machine Learning, Data Engineering, and enterprise IT.

While our strategic focus continues to expand within the IC and cleared environments, LKA maintains strong partnerships across commercial and healthcare sectors, where we continue to successfully support critical staffing needs.

With deep experience in both technology and healthcare staffing, we take a relationship-driven approach—aligning the right talent with the right opportunity to drive meaningful outcomes. Our clients range from emerging organizations to large, established enterprises, and we tailor our solutions to meet the unique demands of each.

Our mission is to deliver agile, forward-thinking staffing solutions in an ever-evolving workforce landscape. We achieve this by building long-term partnerships, staying at the forefront of industry trends, and maintaining a commitment to excellence for our clients, candidates, and community.
