> we do a lot of work with sensitive government data, so we'll have to do background checks to get you security clearance (and a cool ID card) for certain projects

It's be interesting to see what they actually want.



Sorry, I should've included this, I was trying to keep things fairly high-level as I had already written far too much.

The clearance currently required is NPPV3 (although it might need to be higher in future). I can't find a nice concise description of what it covers, but there are a few documents floating around that refer to it:

It's fairly standard criminal record and family/financial background checking. We've yet to have a person fail.
