Intelligence Community Agencies and Final Job Offers

Originally published at: https://www.clearancejobsblog.com/intelligence-community-agencies-and-final-job-offers/

Most Intelligence Community (IC) agencies use in-house background investigators or another IC agency to conduct the background investigations on potential job candidates. Some smaller agencies like the National Reconnaissance Office or National Geospatial Intelligence Agency are very timely in getting them done and in front of an adjudicator. Other bigger agencies, like the Central Intelligence…

Wait so the adjudicator at an IC agency reviews the applicant’s file before the applicant takes the polygraph? That doesn’t track with the experiences shared on here. IC applicants have posted that they were told that their case went to adjudication only after they passed their polygraph and completed their psychological evaluation without any problems.

These agencies don’'t do all the work themselves “in house” with their own investigators. They use contractors as well. Is there any government agency that uses no contractors for anything??? I think not.
