What It Does

Open TamperMonkey (click the icon in your browser toolbar) → Dashboard
Click the + tab to create a new script
Select all default code (Ctrl+A) and delete it
Open the downloaded .user.js file in a text editor, copy all contents (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C)

Navigate to hire.amazon.com — badges will appear automatically

How Data Is Detected

Applicants Tab (Automatic)

The script queries the hire.amazon.com API for each applicant's screening question answers. Badges appear automatically within seconds — no manual action needed.

Jobs Tab (Automatic)

Same API approach as the Applicants tab. Requires the job iCIMS ID in the URL.

CDP — Candidate Detail Page

Badges are detected from multiple sources:

Notes — scanned automatically on page load
Screening questions — scanned when the JSQ flyout is opened (~3 second delay)
Resume PDF — scanned when the resume viewer loads (same-origin or cross-origin via pdf.js)

Sourcing Page

Badges show from cache (previous scans) or after opening the resume flyout for a candidate.

Recommendations Page

The script automatically searches for each candidate's previous job applications via the API, then queries their screening question answers. Badges appear within seconds for candidates who have applied to jobs in the system.

Candidates with no prior job applications will only show badges if they were previously scanned on another page (CDP, Applicants, etc.).

Recruiting Pipeline

The script extracts the person ID and job iCIMS ID from each table row, then queries screening question answers via the API. Badges appear automatically next to candidate names.

US Citizenship

Only detected from screening question answers (strict mode):

Answer: US Citizen
Answer: United States of America

If "Permanent resident" is also detected, the US Citizen badge is suppressed.

Badge Hierarchy

Higher-level badges suppress lower-level ones to avoid duplicates:

TS/SCI + L2 suppresses everything below
TS/SCI suppresses Top Secret, Secret, L1, L2, DoD Secret
L2 suppresses L1
Top Secret suppresses Secret

Managing Badges

Clear a single candidate's badge

Click the × button next to any badge to remove it and clear that candidate's cached data.

Clear all cached badges

Open the browser console (F12 → Console) and paste:

GM_setValue('hsc-clearance-cache', '{}')

Cache behavior

Badges persist across browser sessions via TamperMonkey storage
localStorage backup protects against TamperMonkey crashes
Cache auto-resets when the script version changes
No expiration — badges persist until manually cleared

Known Limitations

Sourcing page badges require opening the resume flyout or having previously visited the CDP
US Citizenship is only detected from screening question answers, not notes or resume
Recommendations page auto-scan only works for candidates with previous job applications
Skills tag text (e.g., "Security Clearance > SECRET") is stripped to avoid false positives
Each user builds their own cache — badges are not shared between users

Updating the Script

Download the latest .user.js file
Open TamperMonkey → click "Hire Security Clearance Indicator"
Select all (Ctrl+A), paste new code (Ctrl+V), save (Ctrl+S)
Refresh hire.amazon.com — the cache auto-resets on version change
