Really?
Here's my take on it.
Check with your previous customer if is OK to give a contact name and details to your new customer and explain why.
If it is, then give it. If is not, then don't give it.
Let them figure out if the process is more important than the results they aim to achieve by using your services.
I've done it before and believe me, when a customer needs you the processes are just processes.
Oh, and don't get a letter saying 'When xyz worked for us' unless you want to be IR35 bound
Cheers

I've already been here two months and been paid on time every time I've invoiced.
I think it's their screening team trying to earn their money.

Unless you've told a whopper and said you were the Senior Programme manager or similar when you were only a junior, Id tell them what my job title was at previous job was none of their concern.
Are they going to ask what your previous rate was to justify paying what you have stated you want for this role?
J-O-K-E.

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostI'm already in an engagement with ClientA but there is some background screening being done (thank goodness I didn't have to wait for them to finish it!). I advised what my role title was with ClientB and now they want proof! Daft thing is that this is the second time I've worked for ClientA since I was with ClientB.
Where do I stand legally as I thought my contract with ClientB was a confidential document that I don't have to disclose?

Regardless what you decide to do, this is a massive red flag for me.
Lack of trust from the start. Are they doubting their interview process?

If he wants your role title, then that is just the job description - not a copy of the contract. And for that, all you need is a letter from client saying "While LondonManc was working for us, his role was as ..."

I've just taken a general dislike to the guy doing the screening asking ludicrous questions and taking too long over it and want to legally tell him to go forth and multiply. Just glad I didn't have to wait for it to be completed
I'll see what he wants given the confidentiality of it.

I thought a contract was an agreement between two parties and was confidential unless it was indicated in the paperwork. Either way, what is the exact proof they need? Can't you send the engagement letter that says we accept you as X on Y rate? Or just the front page of the document which details the engagement?

If the contract is confidential then say you can't disclose it because it is commercially confidential. If you have an agency name then give them the name of the person at the agency to contact to confirm it. If the contract was direct with clientB then give them the name of HR to confirm it.
