    RECRUITING AREAS

    Analytical: Analysts Work in 13 Areas of Expertise – Jobs and Internships: At the CIA, we provide finished intelligence to policymakers for decisions of national importance. Our analysts are skilled subject-matter experts who study and evaluate information from many sources. From this information, they develop useable and meaningful intelligence assessments for the highest levels of government. CIA analysts monitor and assess foreign political developments, leadership, economic issues, military threats and science and technology.

    Information Management: Jobs and Internships: IMTO's (Information Management Technical Officers) implement federal guidelines, records and knowledge management solutions including taxonomies, metadata management, electronic recordkeeping, and Archives and preservation. The incumbent will be assigned to an Office responsible for a wide variety of tasks including: requirements development and analysis; records management support; file plan development and implementation; automated categorization; and leveraging legacy data.

    IRRA's (Information Review and Release Analysts) are responsible for executing the Agency's legal information disclosure obligations under the Freedom of Information Act, the Privacy Act, and related laws and Executive Orders while simultaneously protecting national security. These officers review documents to protect CIA while releasing information no longer requiring protection; document review and release decisions to build a corporate body of declassification knowledge; facilitate the sharing of information with the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government, Intelligence partners, the media, and the general public.

    Clandestine Service: Six Specialty Areas – Jobs Only: The CIA's Clandestine Service is the front-line source of clandestine information on critical international developments, from terrorism and weapons of mass destruction to military and political issues. The mission often requires clandestine service officers to live and work overseas, making a true commitment to the Agency. This is more than just a job – it's a way of life that challenges the deepest resources of personal intelligence, self-reliance and responsibility. National Clandestine Service Officers are individuals with varied backgrounds and life experiences, professional
