Has anyone ever actually gotten a DoD contractor job through a foreign national recruiter living abroad?

I get a fair number of these and am skeptical, especially when they're cagey about who they're hiring for but want my resume.

Feel like as a company if you're gonna hire for these jobs, the least you can do is use an American citizen due to potentially sensitive content.
