How long does the hiring process take? 

The duration of our hiring process varies depending on the specific position. Positions that do not require a security clearance generally have a faster turnaround, typically within 45-60 days. For positions requiring security clearance, the process may extend by 3-6 months due to the necessary background investigations. Regardless of the position, all successful candidates must complete pre-employment screening, which includes a background check, employment verification, education verification, credit check (where applicable), reference checks, and a pre-employment drug screen.  

Do I need a security clearance for certain positions? 

Yes, security clearances are required for certain positions, particularly those related to national security or classified projects. The specific requirements will be outlined in the job description. 

What experience is required for entry-level positions? 

The experience requirements for entry-level positions are job-specific and vary depending on the role. Many entry-level positions require a minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent, coupled with relevant experience. Some positions may also require specific certifications or coursework. We encourage you to carefully review the job posting for the position you’re interested in to understand the specific requirements.
