Does MITIE require pre-employment background checks? What kind of background check does MITIE do and how long does it take to complete?

Answered 4 January 2020

Background checks are outsourced to Procius (which is connected to Mitie somehow) they are TOTALLY USELESS, took a year of repeating same questions and sending in same documents.

Yes, very invasive and comprehensive checks, better hope you've got A1 credit else you won't get the job

I was happy for the checks but then I was told I'd have to gain paperwork from HMRC etc myself bso gave up, it was too much for a cleaning job. Also performed credit check and others which I found very invasive, won't apply with mitie again
