Security Guard Agency - Checks Before We Hire A Security Guard

There are many factors our security guard agency will take into consideration when we are considering to hire a security guard; examples like past experience in security industry, physical and mental ability to do their duty well, individual character and their understanding and communication skills.

Also, our security guard agency need to consider if the applicant is well-experience in the kind of environment that we want to secure, if he is licensed by Police Licensing & Regulatory Department (PLRD) and trained with the relevant Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) in Singapore. We also check if he has any injuries in the past or present. Disabilities or injuries might hinder the security guard from protecting the property well therefore our security guard agency also need to consider that as well.

Before hiring anyone. learn as much as we can about a candidate for the security guard job position. One way to do so is by asking for some references. Contact his former security guard agency to check on his work performance and other important things. Our security guard agency will also perform criminal checks on the prospective security guard.

Get a written consent from the applicant prior to conducting a background check. When the applicant granted us our request, we must only ask for information that we really need taking into consideration the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and we must only use such information to assess the candidate's overall ability to be a security guard. Do not forget that any information we get is confidential.

Having a criminal record is usually the top consideration for security guard agency employers. Sometimes, we can find out about convictions that are directly related to a specific job only. Usually, we are prohibited to dig into juvenile records. We may not also be able to check on any police arrests which did not end into conviction. However, our security guard agency supports the Yellow Ribbon Project so we will access the applicant on a case by case basis.

We can acquire an immense amount of information from it, including personal details. So it is essential to respect the applicant confidential information.

Performing a background check is a time-consuming process. To save some time, effort, and perhaps money from this employment procedure, consider hiring our security guard agency to provide the security manpower that you require. By doing so, you don't have to handle the stress related to hiring, screening, even supervising a security guard.
