But if not, we\u2019re finding different ways to get around the issues that have traditionally tied our hands in terms of the security clearance process,\u201d said Gordon-Hagerty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are actually putting OPM investigators at our labs, plants and sites, and at our headquarters so we can expedite those processes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to partnerships with the DoD and OPM, NNSA works closely with the Departments of State and Commerce, as well as contractors. So Gordon-Hagerty said that the job fair made sure to include contractors, which would ensure that skilled workers were coming to NNSA from multiple sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Gordon-Hagerty, the job fair\u2019s on-the-spot job offers work by taking care of many components of the hiring process onsite that would traditionally take much longer. The offers are then made contingent on the applicant\u2019s ability to obtain a security clearance, and the agency\u2019s offices can sometimes provide introductory work that does not require a clearance to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had folks who applied for our positions weeks ago, we were able to provide their resume, and they could schedule a time to be interviewed onsite. It really condenses the process and provides a much quicker timeline to go from A to B,\u201d said Jason Julian, chief of staff at the NNSA\u2019s Nevada Field Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe resume can speak to the technical competency, but how will they fit in our organization? Obviously, we have our own culture, our own mission set that we support, out in Nevada. So being able to speak to individuals about that, to see their passion come through, and if it matches the passion and the culture that we have it helps us to align ourselves with the right individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency also benefits from its close relationship with the DoD by finding a significant group of its workers from among retiring service members, who have a much easier time getting cleared for NNSA\u2019s work maintaining the nation\u2019s nuclear stockpile and promoting nonproliferation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bringing in the new generation of government workers is a priority for Gordon-Hagerty, who said that now is the time to make sure that the outgoing workforce is passing on its expertise to the younger employees that are just entering the agency or moving into leadership positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency also offers a two-year fellowship program that gives recent college graduates a taste of work at all of the NNSA job sites and can lead to job offers for participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben Jaramillo, who works for Learning and Career Management at NNSA, called the program \u201ca direct pipeline to NNSA\u201d to fill the gap between employees retiring and the number of employees that come into the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But part of NNSA\u2019s hiring success also comes from moving past the traditional restraints on employee hiring that many agencies still have to contend with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve broken through the program of not just using the regular General Schedule opportunity. We can actually have competitive-salaried positions,\u201d said Gordon-Hagerty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Government officials and members of Congress have both questioned the usefulness of the General Schedule system, which was designed in the 1970s and struggles to encompass more modern jobs that didn\u2019t even exist at its inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, NNSA is looking to hire over 2,000 new workers by the end of this year, according to an agency spokesperson, and Gordon-Hagerty said that the agency is hoping to make over 100 job offers from the July 11 fair alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Nuclear Security Administration leadership sees potential in the planned transition
