    Anyone know the project manager for this or got any background on it its the best contract oppurchancity I've seen in the last two weeks atm I cant get hold of the recruiter to try to persuade them to send my CV over so I'm trying any channels to get a contact. Toiling for cash as we all are and need a contract right now.

      Am guessing this is RBS and if you don't have RBS experience your virtually dead in the water IMHO..They are sticklers for giving people with experience the roles above first timers and there is a lot of them!! Sorry.

        Really? I wonder how I got into RBS a few months ago then? I must have had some RBS experience I never knew about.

          WHS, I did a desktop refresh for RBS a few years back, and came in form the cold, has a few gigs since and you only need to get credit checked

              Was there not something about a chap who got knocked back from RBS for an outstanding 150 quid bill from BT?

                If memory serves me correctly... some utilities companies will have an entry on your credit profile (which can be checked via Experian and others). If your credit profile shows bad debt / default on debt, the client who checks your profile could use this to not take on your services, especially if you are working for a financial organisation or an organisation where you will have some financial control or the ability to control the systems that have accountancy attached to it.

                  I think you must be one of the very lucky ones. I have gone for a few roles with them where I was ideally qualified and got through the techie phone interviews and face to face only to be told much later that it had gone to "an internal candidate".

                    To be honest techy roles are harder and harder to get in Rbs as most of the dev work is outsourced to India. Plenty business pm roles about though and not that difficult to get into. On my last programme there I was working with at least 3 Rbs noobs.
                    Changed days there from Sir Fred's boomtime. Become a bit of a shell to be honest.
