Human Resource Officers typically support the directorates in fast-paced offices on a strategic level. They interact with managers, employees and other Human Resource professionals. Some responsibilities include staffing and recruitment, performance management, employee relations, forecasting and special projects.


Minimum requirements include a BA in Human Resources or a BA/BS in another related field, along with a GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. A minimum of nine years of progressive Human Resources experience is required with a BA/BS and seven years of progressive Human Resources experience is required with a Masters. HR Experience must include leadership experience. Professional Human Resources (PHR) status is a plus.

 Knowledge of HR and business principles, excellent oral and written communications skills, the ability to work across organizations to build support for new ideas and approaches, strong organizational and problem-solving skills and excellent interpersonal and leadership skills are also needed.

During the application/interview process, applicants will take an aptitude and personality assessment test. All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.

All positions require relocation to the Washington, DC Metropolitan area, which is the financial responsibility of the applicant.

To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.

Important Notice: Friends, family, individuals, or organizations may be interested to learn that you are an applicant for or an employee of the CIA. Their interest, however, may not be benign or in your best interest. You cannot control whom they would tell. We therefore ask you to exercise discretion and good judgment in disclosing your interest in a position with the Agency. You will receive further guidance on this topic as you proceed through your CIA employment processing.
