The 17 agencies of the intelligence community have banded together to create their own central jobs portal, intelligencecareers.gov, with an emphasis on the variety of careers available within those agencies and interactive tools to help applicants see where they might fit.
Special emphasis is put on the so-called STEM fields—science, technology, engineering and math—but the site also highlights opportunities for those with backgrounds in foreign languages, general analytical work, business, human resources and law enforcement, among others.
A job exploration tool customizes career recommendations by matching education, skills and professional abilities with IC career areas. The student programs search page helps college and high school students identify internships and other student opportunities based on educational level and professional interest.
Other content includes the application process, security clearances and descriptions of the many benefits of government service.
“The site launch is part of a larger effort to bring greater levels of efficiency to IC hiring practices, which also includes automated backend systems that will help recruiters identify highly qualified candidates more quickly and accurately,” the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said.
