Recruitment & Selection

The best way to ensure the most reliable security is to put the best possible candidate in the position! That is why Guarding SA relies on extensive screening processes when hiring, and continues with intensive candidate evaluation for specific jobs.

Instead of “screening-out” undesirable candidates for jobs, we concentrate on “screening-in” the best candidate; matching the skills of the officer to the skill requirements needed for the job. The typical screening process includes:

• Review of company standards and job specifications
• Pre-qualification interview
• Employment background check
• Personal reference check
• Military / SAPS records check
• Telephone reference checks
• ITC / background checks
• Internet PSIRA Registration checks
• Polygraph Integrity test (where required by client)
• Orientation testing and evaluation sessions
• File review and interview by senior Guarding SA management
• Client involvement and recommendations
