The government outsources background checks for top-secret jobs? Why, so they can shift the blame for their 10%-rated efforts to private firmst?
Makes you wonder: who was responsible for picking USIS to do the job?
- fname 13y agoThey had to! Not too long ago, there would be a 8-10 month wait just to get an interview with someone to just kick of the individual investigation. The investigations themselves can can many, many more months after that. By allowing contracting firms and outsourcing, they've significantly lessened the wait. Unfortunately, it's coming with the cost of rampant fraud, waste and abuse (at least form what the article is asserting).
