Was just about to reply to this, good looking out.
@returned86form I know they were actively onboarding as of a few weeks ago. What I dont know for sure, is if that was just those already in the pipeline finishing up. I hear conflicting info, some officers I talk to say hiring is frozen or “paused” for now. Then I hear some officers say it’s business as usual.
Basically, I dont think anyone knows a damn thing. I will try to find out more and see what I can pass along.
Thank you so much for keeping us posted! I’ll check in with my insider contact as well.
Where I am, they are still actively hiring contractors. But Feds are dropping like M&Ms. Almost every day.
I am still onboarding for the middle of the year. I’m actually moving states and the movers have been in touch to get new place info. I know two others that have applied one recently and one last year— the most recent one got declined last month and the one from last year still processing
Thank you, this is very helpful! Good luck with the relocation!
Talked to someone whose spouse is a recruiter, said they are still hiring, but its way slower now. Whatever that technically means, anyone’s guess. But it seems like business as usual (or as close to it as can be).
Leadership did hint at more cuts on the way though, “efficiency” and “doing more with less” and that kinda bs.
Not sure how that works to bring people onboard just to cut or force others out, but these are the times we are in now.
Thanks for sharing! Just got to the adjudication phase according to my BI. Fingers crossed things work out lol
Nice! Not totally sure how the BI would know that, but if true thats great news!
For reference, the time from completing my security appts (which I figure is when I moved to adjudication), was almost exactly 2 months. My recruiter had told me prior, that adjudication could be between 2 weeks and 2 months.
Hopefully you fall on the shorter end of the scale. If thats still even the scale haha. Keep us posted!
Maybe the investigator just knows that his piece of the investigation is finished. As @RandomMan indicates, the investigators don’t usually know what happens with the case after they’re done with it and in most cases they don’t care because they’ve got ten more to finish.
The investigators don’t know what happens after they complete their part BUT they do know that it goes through review, and at any time during review it can be sent back to investigations. They don’t know when it has been released by review to go to adjudication. So there is no way for them to know if a case has gone to adjudication since there is an entire step in between investigation and adjudication and no updates.
Thanks all, this is very clarifying and good to know! I assumed adjudication since they said the investigation was closed out and sent to FSO who requested the investigation so I assumed the employer agency. Probably just means their portion has been sent along.
As for timeline, my security appointments were before my BI began (or at least before I was made aware it had begun) so not sure if they can align with others but good to know anyways.
Sorry to poke you for an update, but has any new word come down about onboarding?
Onboarding is still happening, orientation is still going on. So thats good news.
I wish I could provide insight to that, but I have no idea. I can try to ask some folks that might know though. I will provide an update if I find anything out about that.
Thank you! Please let me know if you hear anything.
Here’s my update, people, and I’m still a little anxious about potential last minute bad surprises, but here it is: EOD set on 4/21/25!
@RandomMan Looks like we may indeed end up seeing each other around the halls after all!
Awesome!!! Congrats!
Thank you! And thank you for being our eyes and ears inside the building all this time!
I don’t, but I’ll set it up and find you! Thank you so much for offering!
Congrats, fingers crossed for a smooth onboarding!
