Recruiting

Because our employee retention is extremely high at all of our locations, we do not experience frequent openings. When additional personnel are needed, however, we recruit from a variety of sources including:

• Monster.com, Career Builder, and other internet job sites
• Social networking sites
• Local advertisements
• Job fairs
• Military and veteran organizations
• Customer service industry, including concierge and hotels
• State and local unemployment offices

But the best source of recruiting is our own employees! Nationwide, nearly 70% of new hired security officers come from referrals by their friends and family members who already work for SecurAmerica. Under our referral bonus program, an employee who refers a job candidate who is selected by SecurAmerica receives a $100 employee referral bonus after the new employee’s 90 day anniversary with the company.

Unlike other companies in our industry, we recruit officer candidates based on the specific success factors at each account (including the customer’s culture, contract specifications/requirements, security department key result areas and position expectations) the individual site where the candidate will work and the post to which they will be assigned. This recruiting profile evaluates the following categories and assesses if each matches the assignment where the officer will work:

• Work history
• Work schedule, pay requirements
• Personality traits and propensities
• Success factors in previous jobs
• Candidate’s likes/dislikes and motivators
• Ability to support client’s culture
• Ability to meet or exceed position requirements
• Potential success barriers
