- sailfast 9y agoThis is not necessarily the case for organizations that have special hiring authorities and/or contract dollars for use rapidly.

- sailfast 9y agoRight, and they can offer specific "cyber" related competitive authority positions to that person, or ask them to come on board as a 1099 or via an existing contract vehicle where they implicitly instruct a company to bring the person on as a subcontractor. Or, you know, just dump a pile of money on them as a single outlay. I'm sure there are plenty of options created specifically for this scenario.
