Credentialing

After you’ve interviewed with our staffing partners, they will ask you for the documents you have prepared (in Step 2) and walk you through the credentialing process.

Throughout this process it is crucial to be honest and forthcoming. This includes disclosing any prior arrests, convictions, and major life events, regardless of when they occurred or how difficult they are to share. Prepare to open up. This part of the process can be uncomfortable and emotional at times. That said, events in your past will not necessarily disqualify you from the position, but failing to disclose or tell the truth certainly will.

Screening and Security

The government will screen your application and all of the supporting documents for security clearance and acceptance. This process can take 4 to 6 weeks or more. During this time the government may ask additional questions and request more information. There may even be periods of inactive communication. Throughout this process, it is crucial for you to be responsive, stay patient and remain focused on the opportunity ahead.
