Business Day: Time to First Submission
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS TURN TO iQUASAR WHEN
They need structured, end-to-end support to staff federal contracts — from intake through onboarding.
Contract awards or ramp-ups create hiring surges, and internal teams cannot keep pace.
First submissions must be fast and predictable (often within 1–2 business days for Secret/TS business roles), while operating within real Trusted Workforce 2.0 timelines.
SCIF or onsite requirements create late-stage offer declines and start-date risk.
Niche, hard-to-fill cleared roles (Cybersecurity, Splunk, Cloud, Data, AI, etc.) remain open despite internal efforts.
High-level clearance requirements (Q, TS, TS/SCI, CI Poly, Full-Scope Poly, Lifestyle Poly, Public Trust) significantly narrow the available talent pool.
Hiring requires defined SLAs, early escalation before deadlines are missed, and measurable reporting — not just resumes.
Clearance-based salary premiums, retention concerns, and infrastructure limitations make internal recruiting inefficient or cost-prohibitive.
