Hi looking for advise, recently applied for a cadet position and have been asked for a criminal record check. Is everyone that applied for a cadet position asked for this or only those that pass what the company are looking for in the online application?

Everyone will be asked I'd imagine, some companies want a criminal record check before they decide on an applicant.Originally posted by Cammyrutherford View Post
Which company is it?

Not every company asks for this but even the ones that don?t often require a US visa etc which requires a criminal check of some sort so they are probably just covering themselves. Companies such as RFA, PNTL (or whatever they are called now) will require more in depth checks.Pilotage - It's just a controlled allisionComment

As above it is due to the requirement for a US visa for a lot of companies. The Americans are funny about this sort of thing. If you have a record and don't disclose it then it will come to light when you apply for a US Visa so as well to be up front. If you do have a record this does not necessarily bar you from getting a visa or the cadetship but it really depends what the crime was. So the question is....what did you do?Comment

Same as above, depends on a lot of things. If they are asking for a DBS then it will only be a basic check (only unspent convictions will show). However if you do need a Us Visa then this is slightly different, you need an immigration version and if you have a conviction you will end up being found during the visa process.Comment
