Security Officer Screening

Before a Security Officer is considered for employment, he or she must meet the following criteria:

            Personal Interview

This is to ensure that all potential candidates can effectively communicate with clients and can conduct themselves in a professional, mature, responsible and courteous manner, and are able to make vital decisions on their own. We make every effort possible to recruit candidates that have at least two years of experience as security officers.

 

DMV Records

GuardForce requires all applicants to have a valid drivers' license, clean DMV records and a reliable car.

 

Employment, Education and Credit History

All candidates must provide information on at least 4 years of verifiable employment history. We painstakingly review and verify past employments and ensure that all potential candidates are eligible to work as security officers. We require that all candidates possess valid Guard Cards prior to taking on-site assignments.

In addition to the candidate's employment verification, GuardForce also thoroughly investigates and verifies each candidate's educational background, credit history and traces candidate's social security number to validate the accuracy of the information provided by the applicant. GuardForce prefers a high school diploma or equivalent (GED) as the minimum educational requirement to qualify for a security officer position.

Criminal Background Check and Drug Testing

GuardForce requires that all candidates take a State and National Live Scan. It is our strict requirement that all candidates must have clean criminal background. There is absolutely no exception to this requirement.

Additionally, initial and random alcohol and drug tests are performed to ensure that our security officers and their mangers maintain the highest level of professionalism at all times.
