In addition to managing services and products listed in detail throughout our web site, our representatives bring forth thorough knowledge and historical context pertaining to Vacancy Announcement listings.  This transforms a widely unknown and difficult process facing external applicants into a personal service that optimizes a client's marketability.  FCPS representatives maintain a focused understanding on one defense organization's availability of Job Category offerings to include their frequency and Pay Band listings. This information increases our ability to market full service clients across the spectrum of vacancy announcements and significantly enhances their opportunity for hire over the course of the contract period.  Please remember, obtaining federal employment is a strategic decision that takes time, effort and commitment. Under the best of conditions an external applicant [not currently a security-cleared assigned civil servant] will be looking at a 4-6 month period between submitting an application and reporting for their first day of paid work.
