Wot was so bad about it
(just curious)

Not my place to say apart from what could be described as a culture that made made delivery impossible.

I helped the met with their enquiries at a very nice rate a few years ago. Spent three months of a year long contract doing very little, because they didn't want to risk losing us as it took about that long to get cleared.

Seems strange they insist on 'SC'.

SC Cleared != Met SC Cleared.

Well there are advertising for a load of permie jobs - they are all over jobserve and the like...

They aren't all vapourware, one of the guys I'm working with is an ex Met contractor and he's had agents screaming at him to return for a couple of weeks.

Thing is he's made it very clear that he wouldn't go back under any circumstances no matter how much they offer as he hated the environment so intensely.

Yes it's NPIA in Hendon, hiring specs have been floating out of there since March/April this year. Maybe a desperate pimp trying to rehash them.

I’m supposed to have the morals of the sewer, but I would never do a gig for them. How could anyone work for an organisation that under the control of nuLieBore is beginning to rival the Starsi.

Because these organisations need folks like you on the inside so you can blog and expose them - also rates look pretty good too !

PS HAB - Dont worry about the 'B' Word- apart from the recent impacts on Jupiter and Venus from some cosmic debris from 'B' ... theres nothing to worry about.

British Transport Police?

I could put a JDBC layer in their website rather than ODBC...

Could be SOCA or CEOP...

Sorry to burst the bubble, but I really don't believe these gigs are real, only speculative ones.

Well, a colleague of mine has just gone to a very good one, with a rate rise, and another was there until a few weeks ago and turned down a renewal to move onto other things.

So they do exist...

Reminds me of a call i got once for a role with "a large insurance company based in Norwich"

He got all uppity when i told him it was Norwich Union. Thought another pimp had poached his role.

Clown.

i have had so many calls about these contracts and nothing ever, ever happens after that initial call.

Rates also seem to be completely varied, £170 up to £550 pd for the same role with different agencies.... hmm.... curious?

River Police?

MOD Plod?
