Husband made to feel like he's on trial for job application process. Was this normal?

Fairly standard, for working on a number of govt sites but the process should have been communicated in advance off applying.

Just be grateful it wasn't cleaning for a site that requires Developed Vetting (DV), thats a whole new level of intrusion into your private life.

II find it excessive even for my role, so for a cleaner it’s frankly insane. 

Or, perfectly sensible.

Cleaners have the keys to buildings. Unfettered acces. They often work alone. The come and go unseen.

Could just be a !!!!!! up? Someone ticks the wrong background check box setting up the advert and the HR drone processing the application doesn't show the initiative to query it
