The vetting agency for my current Banking gig. as well as the Bank themselves say that even if you do a gig for them and come back in the same year you still have to go through the full procedure. That is standard policy at most banks.

Originally posted by Bookworm View PostI have recently managed to get a gig at a large bank in City, and as my fellow colleagues have informed me, they have to do extensive vetting before I can start, 10 year Employment references, CRB check, and credit check. Whilst I understand that these are the rules and happy to co-operate I am hoping that I do not have to go through this everytime I change contracts within the financial sector.... or am I in for a bureaucratic nightmare with this?
Can I just not pay someone to keep my vetting up to date, there must be a company that can do this surely so that I do not have to do this everytime I change contracts.
Any guidance would be appreciated
This is the third role in finance in the last 3 years in which I've done that. Tip for the future, I guess.

Are you doing a role requiring "approved person" status?
