Recruitment is one of the key ingredients in supplying a first-class service.

We recruit carefully and responsibly, mindful of the legislation on anti-discrimination and mindful of rules governing foreign workers.

To date the company employs around 350 cleaners. As part of our policy we take care and do our best to employ candidates of good character prior to their engagement with our company. Foreign workers must show that they have an acceptable understanding of English to comply and understand their Health and Safety responsibilities. As a security measure only those who can match our criteria are employed. We also ensure that we have all necessary documentation including a police conduct certificate and a full medical certificate certifying that the person is free from all contagious diseases such as Hepatitis etc.

All members of staff are employed directly by us as we feel by personally selecting and training our workforce, we can be confident in the level of service we offer. Prior to start up all are vetted by the Malta Police.

Cleaning Training Course

The course provides students with the basic knowledge, skills, and competences related to general cleaning methods. Through the course, the skills gap generated by cleaners who learn the trade through past experience at work and at home due to a lack of formal education and training is bridged. This vocational training programme provides CLENTEC’s personnel with an understanding of interpersonal skills and allows growth in oneself to thus furthering their chances with the cleaning industry.

Following a skills gap-analysis and a consultation with CLENTEC’s management, a proffesional agency have created a training programme which factors in and ameliorate the typical weaknesses and strengths of each induvial. In order to ensure that all trainees, regardless of their intrinsic learning capabilities, reap the benefits of CLENTEC’s in-house training, an extremely interactive approach is undertaken.

To this effect, CLENTEC’s staffs are given the tools to embrace the profession’s theoretical aspect and are given the opportunity to turn theory into practice in a supervised environment.

The final objective of this training programme is to provide CLENTEC’s employees with a theoretic and practical anchor upon which they can continue to build their skill-set through ongoing hands-on experience and customer relations.

This course is intended to help CLENTEC’s staff develop the skills required of a professional in the cleaning industry. By ensuring that CLENTEC’s staff are trained to the highest standard, the company strives to provide its customers with a unique and superior service.
