Conditional Offer of Employment Rescinded?

Asking the community for some genuine feedback today.

We regret to inform you that your Conditional Offer of Employment has been rescinded effective immediately.

Please note that this decision does not represent a security clearance denial. When filling out the Standard Form 86 in the future, you should note that you were not denied a security clearance for this specific position.

I was told on Tuesday by my recruiter that I just cleared medical/psych. She was surprised that a start date was not yet assigned to a background investigator for my BI. I did the two day on site in DC early June.

If this wasn’t a security denial, can I assume there were no issues with my FS Poly? Given that goes up with my BI to adjudication, if this isn’t a security denial would there now not be an SOR?

I’ve heard from a few others that their COEs were rescinded this morning, what is going on?

Damn man, sorry to hear this update. Did you get this notice on your applicant portal? I responded in the other thread, but this seems like a suitability denial to me, but im not an expert in this area by any means. I’m going to assume without a BI being started yet, it had to be something on the poly/psych/medical, despite what your recruiter said. Something was found during your security appts that was a no go for the agency.

If it is indeed a suitability denial, my understanding is that you wont get a SOR and it doesnt count as a clearance denial, meaning you could still apply to other IC agencies without that on your ā€œresumeā€ so to speak.

There could be a slight chance this was due to the job role you are processing for, not being available anymore, but I dont think that is common with this agency. They dont take the time and effort to process you to just take away the role…even in today’s climate. Again, just my personal opinion, based on stories I hear internally.

You could try to get more info from your recruiter, but I honestly doubt you will get much info.

Yeah didn’t get much out of the recruiter.. I’m assuming it’s time to pack up and move on? If it was a suitability denial I’m guessing there is likely no future way of overcoming that? Has anyone ever seen that happening?

Concur that the message reads like a suitability denial; I’m sorry. Your recruiter has absolutely zero insight into the security process; he/she telling you that you ā€˜cleared’ parts of the security process is pure conjecture and if he/she actually said that, it was grossly irresponsible on their part. Only you know what was divulged during the polygraph, so there’s not much anyone here can do to give you insight on that front, nor can the recruiter. All that said you can reapply in a year and this will have no bearing on your ability to apply for other IC jobs.

Appreciate the note. All good vibes. It could have been a million things, one would never know, so for peace I’m going to try and not even speculate as to what could have been the concern.

Have you honestly ever seen someone get hired post suitability denial? Just curious if it’s even worth entertaining. Again circumstantial…I don’t even know what might have not been suitable or not haha
