Every Security company wisher to ensure they employ /deploy security officers of good character. A security company’s good reputation can be affected by the security officers it employs.
Yes each previous company will be contacted.
If that company is no longer trading the employing company will try and obtain more information from the applicant.
There are a number of ways to do this
Old pay slips copy’s of p45. Applicants can even apply to the tax office for a record of his tax payments covering the period of time he was employed with the said company. It is up to the applicant to provide any details required to prove previous employment
I am not aware is there is a set rule to the questions asked these are the general questions
Stare /end dates of employment,
Reason for leaving,
Character of applicant,
No of work day’s mist,
Any other information relevant.
This is a summary of the reasons for vetting.
I hope this helps
PS
I have just read the post above which has been posted while I scribed this one.
In the main land UK it is requirement under approver contractors to Vet all applicants this must be done within 30 days or the applicant would have failed their probation
This its to the best of my appilaty a true statment

I find this print impossible to read.
I can only read it when I click on the quote tab.
then I can read it very clearly, and with great interest on a white background.
Any one else got this problem.
My 'Private' ex clients, would not appreciate, such enquiries.
And would take great umbridge to be revealed to others in such a way.
What do I do.?
Thankfully, I won't need to go through this process, but if I did, I can think of 2 or 3 clients who would never use me again.
I very rarely work through an agency or security company.
Haven't done so in some 15 years.
But I can see problems here, just by the nature of our business.
