Hiring People With Security Clearances
By Karen Osofsky

With the growing focus on National Security issues, more and more companies are winning government contracts, which require that many employees have security clearances. Security clearances can take anywhere from three months to two years to get depending on the level of security needed and the depth of the investigation. Whether a person’s position is administrative or executive, the length of the investigation could be the same. The clearance is based on the security level of the project and the type of information to which employees’ eyes may have access.

Naturally, this wait poses a challenge to the government and all government contractors. Hiring employees that have already been cleared dramatically reduces the amount of time it takes for that employee to be cleared for your specific project. However, finding candidates with clearances without paying huge search fees is extremely challenging.

To help reduce this challenge, a new job board called ClearanceJobs.com www.clearancejobs.com launched this summer. The job board, which is very reasonably priced, is solely dedicated to matching job seekers that have clearances with employers that are need cleared employees.

The site offers both job postings and a resume database. Jobs are posted for 90 days and include your company logo. Pricing is $125 for a posting and $225 for 1 month of resume database access. They also offer a number of discounted posting and resume database package options as well as priority postings. Priority postings allow your job to be featured at the top of the search results, regardless of the date it was posted.

The site also offers a few features not typically offered on most job boards. First, both the jobseeker and the employer have the opportunity to add jobs (job seeker) or resumes (employer) to a favorites database so they can keep a list of their top picks without recreating the search.

A great job seeker benefit is that the site will note when their submitted resume has been reviewed. This helps eliminate some of the “unknowns” for the job seeker. When they submit their resume to a position posted on Clearancejobs.com, they will always know if the employer has view their credentials.

Finally, government contractors receive an added bonus by using Clearancejobs.com. Since a woman owns Clearancejobs, any dollars spent with ClearanceJobs.com can be reported on your annual and bi-annual Federal Government Reports SF294 and SF295 to assist you in meeting your requirements for utilizing small businesses. Purchasing services from Clearancejobs.com will increase your company percentage toward reaching your goal and receiving higher marks when proposing on new Federal contracts.
