Security Officer Screening

The best way to ensure the most reliable security is to put the best possible candidate for the job in the position. That's why First American Security Services uses an extensive screening process when hiring and continues with intensive candidate evaluation for specific jobs. Instead of "screening-out" undesirable candidates for jobs, First American Security Services concentrates on "screening-in" the best candidate; matching the skills of the officer to the skill requirements needed for the job. First American Security Services boasts an impressive average of 12 hours of managerial time spent on candidate evaluation before any job offer. The typical screening process could include:

• Review of company standards and account job specifications
• Utilization of "person specifications"
• Telephone pre-screens
• Applicant application review
• Pre-qualification interview
• Five-year employment background check
• Personal reference check
• Military records check
• Written honesty evaluation (where permitted by law)
• Client involvement and recommendations
• State registration and fingerprinting
• Drug screening (where permitted by law)
• Proof of legal right to work
