I liked the this post. But I don't like it. I didn't "like" this post, but I like it. But, I don't really like it - I just agree with it.

Seems like from prior polls since this mess started 2 years ago that 85-90% of interested folks are on this Board. Hard to see how anyone would even know about the AlJ application and timeline if they weren't an insider originally or familiar with this board once they made application. Keep the faith that calls are just slow to roll out again - I think they actually like giving folks short notice ?

If I had to bet money I would say that we only have until Friday before they close the class and stop making calls. If you get the call please have an answer ready. If you need to consult with someone please go ahead and do it. You know the start date. You know the universe of places you could get hired for. Please be ready. If you hold this process up there is a very real possibility that someone else doesn't get the call. I know some people have said they don't believe that but trust me, reliable sources have confirmed they make calls until they run out of time. I honestly doubt there will be another hire this calendar year. Don't rob somebody else of the chance to get this job because you need to think about it. I think we have 2 days at most - if they aren't done already. I don't see Friday calls, which would mean the person has until Tuesday to accept (because of the holiday), which is less than two weeks for them to make the arrsangements they have to make (which, however easy, exist and need to be done). And I doubt Thursday, too, because I'm negative.

Maybe the hiring committee looked at those of us waiting and just LAUGHED and LAUGHED and couldn't get their composure in time to make a heirarchy for offers and gave up because we are all so horrible and their ALJ-picking-radar is so superb.

Or maybe you guys are so good that they are having a hard time figuring out how to fit you all in.

As a general matter everyone gets a pre-hire background check so SSA can make non-conditional offers. After an offer is given the new ALJ has to go through a more intensive background check for clearance. The pre-hire screen insures that a potential candidate will pass the clearance check if an offer is tendered.
As an aside the company that used to handle this, Keypoint, had a major data breach, so I would think that this contract has been terminated at this point.

I have reached out to the two people who had questions to see if they have heard from Bob on the theory that he will contact them first. Good luck to everybody. Any word back from these people? There has to be something holding up offers. It is too hard to believe that the few that went out on Friday are it or that Bob has made offers today but to non-board members.

Just spitballing, but maybe after the data breaches, SSA installed the Get Smart Cone of Silence, and Bob has been trapped under it all day.
