Anyone else spotted how badly messed up the whole contractor recruitment framework is in the MOD now that everything has to go through Capita?
Job agents have no direct contact with hiring managers and know nothing about the role they are recruiting for other than a few lines of job spec from Capita.
Anyone with clearance that is recently expired is expected to fill in war and peace, all in the name of security, list countless references etc, when many of us have had SC countless times before and would 99.99 % get it again if needed. Masses of extra bureaucracy for a speculative application, of which you may need to make many, before accidentally hitting on a role which is a good match so bad are the job specs, and rather insecurely releasing many personal details to every job agent and his dog.
To say nothing of the unrealism of the rates. World expert in qwerty, 25 years experience in something obscure, etc etc, 3 or 4 hundred quid a day. Of course they are not going to find people at those rates, and this will be more "evidence" of a skills shortage, and no doubt the will import more Indian nationals and give them SC.
Really this is a mess.
