MPS Background Checks has been successful within industry since its inception in 2006 originally trading as Mitchell Personnel Solutions.
Providing comprehensive background checks to large private firms and sensitive government organisations, MPS has vast experience in this industry.

Individuals

Consider being able to give your potential employers a certificate which states you have had a recent Police Check and 10 year identity, educational and background check all designed to a high Government standard?

This is what MPS offer you, an unbiased, professional assessment of you which can be presented to your potential employer either by you or through MPS on your behalf.

It gives you an extra point of difference during the recruitment round. The employer knowing the risk of hiring an unknown person has been reduced, has something else to consider while looking at your qualifications and skill sets.

If you would like more information about the unique MPS Gold Standard background check please speak to one of our Recruitment consultants. Contact us.
