How To Find Out If A Security Firm Is Right For You
Reliability is the top mandatory feature for a private security company, with reputability. If you can’t trust your security 100%, then you can’t trust them at all.
Unfortunately, with the current boom in the industry, selecting a company that will not only provide top-tier service but will do so continuously during your partnership can be challenging. To find the genuinely trustworthy one, you must do some vetting first.
What Screening Procedures Have You Implemented for Prospective Job Candidates?
Personnel is the most vital element of any security company. Unfortunately, considering the high-stress levels of the industry, it comes with high turnover rates, which means the security team you’ve entrusted yourself with might be gone very soon.
How can you be sure you can trust the incoming one?
Building a competent team that can be relied upon in emergencies starts with choosing suitable candidates. Many companies, eager to fill in the vacated spots, don’t implement the proper screening techniques that ensure the job seekers have what it takes to provide top-notch security service. That’s where the trouble starts.
The company you choose should be open about its hiring process. You need to know whether they conduct thorough background checks, contact previous employers, or conduct drug tests, i.e., if the candidates possess all the necessary skills and have a good track record.
The most forward-thinking companies have started implementing personality tests to ensure people they’re hiring are fit for the industry to begin with.
What’s The Staff Training Process Like?
You must ensure the company you’re vetting fully complies with your state’s requirements for educating, qualifying, and training security guards. In the best cases, this training includes skills specific to your needs, likes handling particular equipment and materials.
Don’t shy away from asking how the company trains its personnel. A dependable security firm with nothing to hide will be more than willing to share the details with you (well-trained staff is an advertisement in itself).
Here’s what they should inform you about:
- Specific training topics and learning objectives
- The trainers’ credentials
- Proof that the personnel in question attended the training
- If there was a testing program to determine training success and how the trained members passed
Do Client Needs Influence The Assigning of Tasks?
Security needs differ per industry. There’re multiple details to consider, like the area and space, the number of people, the industry niche, etc. If the company assigns you security without considering your specific needs, you should reconsider cooperating with them.
If your chosen company offers multiple types of security services (event security, commercial security, construction security, etc.), selecting a properly trained team with the proper focus should be easier. Still, ask the company about their process of matching the personnel with the client, what aspects they take into account, and how their staff members’ personality types and interests fit the assignments.
