Enjoy the Perks of Supporting the DoD Without Going into the SCIF

Security Clearance Careers Podcast

The pandemic shifted DoD billable personnel’s thoughts on working in a SCIF five or six days out of the week. Experiencing a taste of the work from home lifestyle helped to change their perspective on what work / life balance means. Whether burnt out from putting their phones in a cubby while entering a government building or feeling closer their families as you they spent less time commuting and more time getting kids off the school bus, going into the SCIF full-time is no longer attractive to most cleared candidates.

But there are ways to support the national security field without going into a SCIF.

The Security Clearance Careers Podcast hosted Marisol Maloney, a US Navy veteran with an eclectic background. She’s a former enlisted Sailor, turned Fleet Marine Forces (FMF) Navy Nurse Corps officer, who later became an all-source intelligence officer while dabbling in project management, lean six projects, and strategic speech writing for 3 and 4-star flag officers. After working as a contractor, she turned to recruit secret squirrels which provided for more flexibility working outside a SCIF. She’s an expert at online branding, so tune in to our discussion about how she was able to master the military transition, pivot her career to working outside the SCIF, and how cleared recruiters can master reaching veteran talent.
