Hey guys,

Anyone here gone through the process of gaining SC clearance? Just wondering how long it roughly took and if your current employer was contacted as part of the process.

Cheers.
 
Thanks guys. I guess as long as you're completely honest with everything if you miss something out it'll be fine.

In my situation the sponsor is a potential employer.
 
Well, I'd rather they don't as until everything is sorted I don't want to burn any bridges if however unlikely it falls through. But if they do I obviously need to give them some warning!


And yeah, I understand the financial side of things, possibility of bribes etc.

Had to go through a check when I got the job I am with now, however it was just to verify the stuff I had claimed on my CV was correct

(They verified my previous jobs, my education, any certification I had done, memberships I was part of), the fact that I was a UK resident and was permitted to work in the UK (passport check) etc etc.

Was with a company called Veroscreening.com, that the company I work for use to do checks before employment commences.

Aha.

I've had to go through a similar check to the one you've just described alongside the SC stuff. Eek.

Do you have to be cleared before you start? by the time my start date had come, the screening still hadnt been cleared, they were still contacting me like a week after I had started asking me to send some further info :p

What if I actually turned out to be a serial murderer and they had let me start :p

I know with some places you can with a basic BC(?) level check and depending on the information you need to access.

Seems I have to wait!
