Secret Service SA hiring process

[Figureout18]

Just wondering since I got referred and didn't take the test yet , I wouldn't be part of that timeline they were discussing here yesterday?

This takes place after you've taken the SAEE?

The elac consists of the SAEE, SUPER, and security interview all in one day. If successful, at the end of the day you go home with a conditional offer.

I'm new on here , I applied to the January announcement got referred and going to the Elac on the 26th. What should I expect? This is my first time going through a federal hiring process.

My USA jobs changed to referred. Does this mean they are going to have me take the SAEE?

If your status changed to referred, you still have to wait. USSS will change your status in their own system as well and it may not be appropriately reflected in USAJobs. My status changed to referred in USAJobs first, then my status changed in the USSS system to something like "application still under review." It took. couple weeks to receive another update from TAD Support indicating that I was being considered as a "superior candidate" and would receive an email by March 13 with a link to confirm my test date. Four days later, I received an email (much later than the time they initially said) on the status of my application. It it through that final email that you find out whether or not you move on to the ELAC. Overall, I think I received 4-5 emails updating me on the status of my application. To be clear, you don't take the SAFE just because you are "referred" on USAJobs. That's only the first step of moving forward and simply means your application made it through the electronic matrix and will be moving on to the hiring agencies HR for review.

It's only been a week since my application changed to referred on USAJOBS on the USSS website says still reviewing. I just received an email apologizing for sending an email March 7 on error and saying my application got referred to the local field office for processing. Funny thing is i never received any emails on march 7... oh well I guess I'll keep waiting.

From what I understand, lot of people are getting e-mails saying they have been rejected for the position erroneously. I received one such e-mail a few days after my status updated to 'Referred'. I e-mailed the relevant body and they sent me a reply the next day saying something to the effect of 'We apologize for the misunderstanding, you have been found eligible for grade 7.' I then, a couple days later, received an e-mail saying basically that 'previous correspondences were incorrect and you have been found ineligible.' Over the course of that day, I infact received SIX emails saying that, over and over again. I then received another one a few days after the sixth such email saying that the aforementioned email(s) was/were sent in error, and that my application information had been received by my local field office for processing.

I applied in January, referred status was around March 3rd (I'm not sure if that's the day it was posted, I don't check everyday because I know the process moves at a snails pace), first 'rejection' email March 7th, field office received application information March 14th, for an idea of the timeline for me so far. I also hope that makes the March 7th email issue more clear.

I received this email yesterday ,but never received any emails saying I was being rejected. I only received one saying the application was being processed and it was taking a little longer than normal. I'm just trying to be patient I know how these things go. I am taking the post tomorrow for the ud position since I applied for both, UD seems to be moving faster.

[mrudek]

I can't speak for future plans but earlier in 2017 there were some on the West Coast as well.

Yes. There is an ELAC in Maryland at the end of the month.

Cool! Good luck. As for the email, right I understood that you did not receive a false rejection, I was explaining why your email mentioned the 7th for some context so you could make sense of it. That's all bro.
