Pre-employment screening for cleaning companies

Cleaning contractors hire constantly, across dozens of client sites, and every one of those hires needs a right to work check before they start. Clients in offices, schools and public buildings increasingly ask for more: a verified history, and BPSS for anyone on a government contract. Yezda runs all of it from one account, with the chasing done for you.

Why it matters

What cleaning & facilities services teams need from screening.

Cleaning and FM contractors hire at volume across many client sites, and every hire needs a right to work check before day one. Standard pre-employment screening covers identity, right to work and a verified 3-year history; BPSS covers staff placed on government sites.

01

Right to work, every time

Identity documents are checked by IDV and Home Office share codes against the Home Office profile, so each new starter's right to work is evidenced before their first shift.

02

The right check for each contract

Standard pre-employment screening for most sites, BPSS for staff placed on government contracts, and BS7858 where a client's security schedule asks for it.

03

Many sites, one view

Region-scoped access lets each contract manager see their own starters, while head office sees every case and its status.

Roles we typically screen
