Personnel & Recruitment Procedures

We recognise it is vitally important that staff selection procedures are strictly and consistently adhered to.

Successful selection and recruitment is crucial for our security guarding service and depends upon the following: -

• Full understanding of the routine and emergency procedure.
• Knowledge of the premises and working environment.
• Commitment to recruit to a standard which is clearly defined.
• A thorough selection process carried out by competent experienced management.
• An in-depth understanding of the particular needs of the assignment.
• The need to ensure that the image of your organisation is reflected in our own people.
  

The basic procedure for recruitment is initiated by the Commissioning Plan. From that first meeting with our new customer, the Operations Management team establishes the various individual requirements for the Security Officers who will carry out the assignment. Our recruitment is geared specifically to that assignment and is not a ‘blanket’ selection drive.
Once site surveys and consultations are completed, the Operations team will have sufficient information to select the Site Team of dedicated Security Officers and subsequently, site trained Security Officers on existing assignments, who can be made available for sickness and holiday cover. With this profile, we initiate a recruitment process which starts with our existing experienced Security Officers and then knowing how many new recruits are needed, an advertising and selection process to achieve the right balance of experienced and new Officers.

In addition to in-depth personal interviews second interviews will always be arranged using a different interviewer. Where practical we welcome the opportunity to carry out second interviews at the assignment, which gives potential applicants the opportunity to experience the working environment and at the same facilitates involvement in the final selection procedure by you as our Customer, if required.

The recruitment process must be carefully planned and executed in order to achieve a smooth start to a new project and to minimise the “settling down” period. Hence a suggested Commissioning Plan is always prepared and then agreed with the client. Executive undertakes to fully commit all the necessary manpower resources to ensure a successful start to your contract.
