National Security Hiring Needs an Overhaul

The federal hiring process can be discouraging for all parties. Applicants often struggle with the black hole and long delays. Hiring managers have to deal with a host of regulatory and policy requirements that affect the hiring process. Katherine Kuzminski, Deputy Director of Studies and Program Director, Military, Veterans & Society at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), joins the show to discuss the civilian job search process and a 2023 report, The Future of National Security for Civilians.  

In the second half of the show Lindy Kyzer and Sean Bigley discuss the differences in security clearances, and why the intelligence community security clearance process is such a beautiful and unique snowflake.
