Our story

Straight to the source.

Route to the workDirect
Two routes from a project to the people who deliver it A layered route passes through several hand-offs before it reaches the specialists. The GS route runs directly from the project to the specialists. Hand-off Hand-off Hand-off Project Specialists

Security clearance

Cleared professionals for regulated industries.

We specialise in sourcing SC, DV and TS/SCI Poly cleared professionals for defence, government and other regulated industries. Each level of vetting builds on the one below it.

  1. Pre-employment checks of identity, right to work, employment history and unspent criminal records. The standard for anyone with access to government assets.

  2. For regular access to SECRET assets and occasional, supervised access to TOP SECRET. Adds criminal record, credit and Security Service checks to BPSS.

  3. For frequent, uncontrolled access to TOP SECRET assets. Adds an in-depth interview with a vetting officer, referee interviews and a detailed financial review.

  4. The most in-depth UK level, used for the most sensitive national security roles, with further checks beyond DV.

  5. US Top Secret clearance with access to Sensitive Compartmented Information, plus a polygraph examination required by some agencies and programmes.
