After being offered a position of an enhanced security officer I started the process of being vetted for the job.
Initially I was told to make sure everything was done within 10 days, which was fine. The long-winded process was completed and copies of all relevant documents sent as required.
I had retired from my job and lived off my pension for 6 months before finding another job (my choice). This break in employment was a nightmare for them as they insisted I explained what I had been doing for 6 months. The word retirement was the clue.
The final straw came when they asked me to see a solicitor or justice of peace and get a form signed confirming I had a break in my career for 6 months. How a stranger would know this, I don't know.
I then withdrew my acceptance of the position.
Moral to the story: Don't employ an incompetent outside agency who ask stupid questions and don't understand what you do when you retire!
I obviously dodged that bullet and glad I didn't start working for them.
Previous feedback suggests this isn't the first time they have been totally unreasonable with vetting new candidates.
