... why would this be?

In the job advert it states:

"Please note that we can not consider candidates who have worked outside of the UK within the last 5 years"

I guess its a clearance thing?

Cheese!

Google indicates it's a SQL DBA role 🙂

Maybe security.

I'd phone Gordon and ask, tbh, at least you'll know for next time.

There is a possibility that the employer will require a criminal record check, as a part of the clearance you mention. Many employers, and outsourced agencies, are unable, or unwilling, to process international criminal records, so they shoehorn this sort of claptrap in as a way of avoiding the problem. Equally, some of the govt clearance people are incapable/unwilling to process anything in "foreign".

Call 'em, ask why you can't apply. If it's something as simple as that, there are ways around the issue.

OK, I already have a CRB (or Disclosure Scotland as its now called), and there was no issue getting it at all.

I will drop them a line.

Cheers all...

I doubt it's clearance, plenty of DV cleared people get sent all over the place. I suspect it's a badly translated requirement from the client, a call would clear it up.

Thought you were going to say MI6. I hear they are trying to bag a new recruit.

MI6? I believe they have a vacancy for a Man In A Suitcase at the moment

EDIT - Beaten to it HTS.
Be aware that there will be some flexibility involved

I've been sent all over the place but I was still employed by a UK employer but was working for them overseas. The text in the advert will be about whether you've been employed by companies based outside the UK.
