You were quite efficient but not efficient enough for my clearance to go through quick enough. As a result of that I can't start with the other applicants and have to wait for the next intake of candidates. As a result of your checks I can't work

Very intrusive process
Very intrusive process. I had a couple of brief gaps in employment where I was having time off after taking redundancy or finishing a contract and had my bank statements trawled over with a fine tooth comb. Questions about money coming in which was all from legitimate sources but felt like I was a suspect. I was told it was just in relation to the gaps in employment but then I was asked for statements from when I was employed and the same thing again - querying my personal finances. I felt this was OTT. I have not had this experience with any other vetting process. When I tried to call in, the line kept cutting off. On one occasion, I was on hold for 20 minutes and then got cut off again. Very frustrating overall and I felt like I was trying to be caught out for something!
