Vital Considerations When Recruiting a Short Term Security Guard

Short term security hiring checklist

Hiring a security guard for a short, flexible, or fixed-term period should be undertaken with care. Of course, there’s always the option of hiring directly. However, this comes with many challenges, by far the greatest being that of a guarantee of capability, qualifications, credentials, and insurances. Because of this, many people will choose to utilize the services of a professional security company.

Whichever route you decide on the following should be taken into consideration:

  1.     The security guard/s should be experienced, qualified, and hold the necessary credentials to carry out their duties.
  2.     They should have in-depth knowledge of how the law applies to private security guards in the state in which they’re working. This applies to both armed and unarmed security guards.
  3.     Can your supplier or individual provide the service you need within an agreed time scale?
  4.     Do they wear a uniform (if required)?
  5.     Is there an option to extend the length of service if it’s needed?
  6.     Have the relevant background checks been carried out?

This is not an extensive list of considerations when hiring a short term security guard. Whether you hire directly or via a security company you should be satisfied that due diligence has been carried out and that the person/s can legally and efficiently operate in the role that satisfies state and/or country laws.
