CIA Careers Page Goes Dark: Agency Not Accepting Applications Amid Restructuring

The CIA careers page now redirects to a notice stating the agency is not accepting applications, a stark reversal from the aggressive recruitment campaigns of 2023-2024. The freeze accompanies agency-wide buyouts offered to the entire workforce, with several hundred employees already opting for early retirement. Conditional and final job offers have been stalled, with applicants in the pipeline reporting canceled polygraph appointments and indefinite holds on onboarding.
