Mitie, the FM contract company, has a partnership agreement with Base HR, a UK HR consultancy.
Base HR’s clients will have access to specialist pre-employment screening through Mitie’s recently acquired Procius businesses. The firms say that Base HR clients will have preferential rates and access to the Mycheck vetting platform – offering such vetting packages as financial probity, criminal disclosures, aviation vetting, financial services vetting and security vetting.
Meanwhile, Mitie adds, it will be able to vet employees at an earlier stage of the recruitment process.
Darren Gamage, managing director of technology services, Mitie’s Total Security Management business said: “I’m delighted to be working with Base HR and their clients. I see working with them as a great opportunity to support SMEs with an effective online vetting solution and the partnership marks the start of our channel partnership campaign. Today’s increased threat climate demands an awareness of the ‘insider threat’ and employers need to understand the potential risks of recruitment. Additionally, employees now have far more complex career histories than in the past, making it harder to get recruitment right first time. This partnership will increase both the security and first-time success rate of recruitment.”
And Alexandra Garner, managing director of Base HR, said: “We are so pleased to be able to support our clients in their selection and onboarding needs through such a reputable and secure solution.”
