The Client, a trusted IT services provider supporting public and private sector enterprises, partnered with iQuasar for Cleared Technical Recruitment for U.S. Air Force roles. Through our proven, cleared hiring strategies, we successfully filled SAP, Oracle EBS, and CyberArk positions that were critical to mission delivery and project continuity.
The Client
The Client has been in business since 2004, providing high-quality solutions to public and private sector enterprises that utilize Oracle-based technologies, including Oracle Applications (EBS), PeopleSoft, Oracle Databases, Business Intelligence and Analytics, and other programming languages.
They specialize in: ERP Applications, Business Intelligence, Oracle E-Business, Business Process Reengineering, Staff Augmentation, SAP, Database Administration, Shared Services, Custom Development, and Healthcare Applications.
The Problem/Opportunity
Recruiting cleared SAP, Oracle EBS, and CyberArk experts came with complex challenges spanning security, skills, and location constraints.
The Client needed to fill multiple open positions, including SAP, Oracle EBS, CyberArk, and more, for a US Air Force contract. These roles had remained vacant for several months, resulting in delays and negatively impacting the project’s overall progress.
The main challenges in recruiting for these positions were:
- Candidates were required to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance.
- The roles required extensive expertise in supporting United States Air Force (USAF) projects.
- The positions required niche skills, such as STIG integration, SAP DBA/Basis experience, and CyberArk Privileged Access Security (PAS) experience, among others.
- The positions required candidates to hold active certifications, such as CyberArk Privileged Access Security (PAS) and CyberArk PAM implementation certification, as well as DoD 8570.01M IAT II.
- Candidates were hesitant to work on-site.
- There was a Limited pool of candidates at the performance location.
The iQuasar Solution
iQuasar’s dedicated recruitment team carefully analyzed the Client’s hiring challenges and implemented a targeted recruitment strategy. Our recruiters conducted in-depth research into the relevant skills and experience required for the roles at the place of performance. We leveraged multiple sourcing channels, including licensed job boards, internal databases, AI-driven tools, and professional referrals, to identify qualified candidates.
Recognizing the high demand for cleared talent in these skills, we focused on engaging experienced federal contractors, professionals with active clearances, and those with proven experience who are willing to relocate. We also submitted qualified candidates who did not yet have clearances and facilitated sponsorship for their clearance process. Our team reached out to these professionals through personalized outreach and strategic referral efforts. We developed new strategies, such as offering accommodation and airfare for workdays at the performance location to attract top talent from across the country.
As a result of these efforts, we successfully identified, engaged, and secured highly qualified candidates to meet the Client’s urgent hiring needs.
How Our Solution Created Value for the Client
iQuasar’s dedicated efforts resulted in over 8 successful placements on the Air Force contract, directly addressing the client’s long-standing vacancies and ensuring the timely execution of project deliverables.
iQuasar has continued to support the Client for over 3 years across multiple hiring needs, strengthening the long-term partnership and reinforcing the value we provide in cleared recruitment. This ongoing partnership underscores the continued value we deliver to our Clients.
