DV Clearance – Opening a New World of Contract Opportunities

For many experienced professional contractors, the opportunity to diversify their client base to include secure Government organisations including the Ministry of Defence, Central Government, Defence Estates and the Armed Forces  has been limited due to the barrier of needing to hold High Level DV Clearance. With new clearance taking around 6-9 months to achieve, recruiting managers have looked to identify individuals within the community, available at shorter notice subject to clearance reviews. But are things beginning to change...


With new technologies replacing legacy systems within these organisations at an ever increasing pace, the current DV cleared contractor base is struggling to keep up with the skills and experience demanded by hiring managers. This has led to a rise in commercial contractors being identified and offered the opportunity to undertake the clearance process, with organisations building talent libraries to expand the contractor skill base available to them. Sanderson Government & Defence has been leading the way in supporting many of these organisations identify the skills needed to meet upcoming projects, whilst guiding individuals through the intrusive clearance process.
