How does "leverage" get you a job in Intelligence without passing a poly?
- joncrane 8y agoThe leverage is the ability to make the same amount of money in a non-cleared role.
- grkvlt 8y agoBy leveraging the fact that one is a UK citizen, and applying to SIS or GCHQ, I assume? Most other countries perform in-depth background checks, rather than relying on pseudo-science, when it comes to matters of national security.
- ganoushoreilly 8y agoThe background investigations are still performed, the poly is an additional layer added on, so that's the only real formal difference between countries.
- MrMorden 8y agoI really want to believe that polygraphs are just used as an interrogation tool and not as a substitute for the SSBI. But the FBI gave Nada Nadim Prouty an SCI clearance even though she wasn't even lawfully present in the US, let alone a citizen. She was working for CIA when the next investigation was due, and they didn't have a problem either.
