ASIO’s Recruitment Approach is to Primitive

Working for ASIO or Australian Security Intelligence Organisation maybe good, but applying to work for ASIO is bit time consuming and frustrating it will take at least 6 months to 12 months. It is very traditional, primitive to our modern day time and not very affective, as the potential bright officers will not wait 12 months and that also uncertain about the job offer.
Six to twelve months is too long and its time wasting by ASIO to go through and check the top level security clearance of a person, it just shows lack of productivity and waste of budget by ASIO. If ASIO takes least 6 to 12 months to see a person is fit with high level security clearance, then how long will it take to find or catch a person or terrorist who is threat to Australia and its interest(s).
ASIO with access to all the general and classified information and should at the most take 1 to 2 months and within three months should have already recruited the newbie plus completion of initial introductory training and heading towards probie stage. In the next 6 to 12 months should be already collecting, gathering or even educating oneself in identifying the possible threat or even the terrorist and its movements.
Modifying ASIO’s recruiting process and working style, allowing the officers to carry fire arms will definitely strengthen the organisation and will be moving a step forward in the history of ASIO. Hire people belonging to different age group rather than just the ones in their 20s, natural thinkers, adding to ASIO’s asset for present need is more people who have knowledge, understanding and experience with Eastern European, African, Middle Eastern and Asian culture.
