Q: Is ARTI a 3rd party recruiting company?
A: No. We are a small business-consulting firm and all vacancies are for full-time employees with ARTI. We have contracts with particular agencies to perform a specific scope of work for a specified time period. Besides our comprehensive benefits package, all full-time employees are part owner of the company on their first day of work through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Q: What happens to my position when to contract ends?
A: As a company our foundation is built on "teaming for success" and our team includes the employees, the managers, the corporate staff, and the client. We would not be where we are today after 16 years of business if it was not for a successful team. We are committed to our employees, their job stability and their job satisfaction. Our goal is to exceed our customer's expectations both through the professional and technical qualities of our employees and the hands-on management by our leadership. The result has been successful, long-running contracts, however, due to contractual issues some contracts do come to an end.

In that case, the Program Manager works closely with the Human Resources and Recruiting Office months before the end of a contract to see what other vacancies are within the company that the employees can be considered for. We have very successfully been able to transition the affected employees to other projects within the company. Another scenario is that the individual transitions to the new company that has the contract and can stay in the same desk doing the same job for that agency for many years.

Q: Do I have to have a clearance to be considered for the position?
A: Depends on the position requirements as established by the agency where the work is being performed. For a position that requires a Top Secret clearance the person has to have a current valid clearance before we can consider them for the position. For a position that requires a Secret clearance the candidates usually just have to be "clearable". A person without a clearance or with an expired clearance can start once they have an interim clearance, which usually takes 2-4 weeks. The exact requirement is different for each position depending on the agency's policy where the work is being performed; this is just a general guideline.

Q: What is your recruiting process?
A: All resumes are screened within 24 hours against the position applied for. All qualified resumes are immediately forwarded to the hiring manager for review and interview decisions. Interviews are typically scheduled by the recruiter within 2-3 weeks. If you do not meet the qualifications for this position, your resume is also reviewed against all other current open positions. In addition, all resumes are entered into our database, which is continually searched as other positions become available. Resumes are archived after 2 years.
