Morning,
I see many Government contract jobs advertised by agents where they make it clear that you can only apply for the job if you hold currect SC clearance. This is against the Cabinet Office Code of Practice which states that people without Security Clearance (SC) should be allowed to apply and shortlisted for a job if they have the right skills.
I am more than qualified for the SC jobs that I apply but I never make it to the shortlist because I do not have SC clearance. In fact, several agents have told me so. Effectively, I am unfairly excluded from these jobs in favour of those that do have SC clearance.
Based on your experience, how can I overcome this problem? Where can I report those agents that do not adhere to the Code of Practice for SC clearance?
Thanks,
A.
