Top 5 Challenges for Hiring Cleared Talent
Recruiting individuals with government security clearances presents unique challenges.
Limited Talent Pool
Obtaining security clearances involves extensive background checks, limiting the number of
qualified individuals. The number of Australians with security clearances that are actively looking for their next role can be narrow.
Hard-to-Find Candidates
Cleared individuals rarely advertise their status, making them difficult to identify. Recruiters must rely on indirect indicators, such as previous employment or skills, to find potential candidates. The complexity increases with various clearance levels like Top Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV) and NV2 candidates often not being present on social media platforms like LinkedIn and Seek.
Clearance Process Delays
The clearance process, involving background checks and extensive documentation, can take months or even years. Organisations needing immediate hires for classified projects has always been a challenge so at Shield we do the due diligence for you which means faster delivery and having candidates that can hit the ground running.
High Recruitment Costs
Finding and onboarding cleared professionals is costly, involving advertising, background checks, and competitive compensation. The demand for these professionals increases their salaries, with TSPV clearance premiums adding up to 30% over non-cleared roles. The cyber workforce gap further raises costs, with salaries for cyber-skilled cleared candidates commanding from $150,000 to $300,000.
Overcoming Cleared Recruiting Challenges with Shield Recruitment
Despite these challenges, securing critical personnel for classified projects is essential.
