Tips on How to Hire Good Security Guards
If you need security guards to protect your business, you must take note of the tips below to ensure that you get high quality service you are willing to pay for.
1. Find out and test their verbal communication skills.
Most clients want to hire security guards who are able to speak and understand English well. This is important for customers to undertand their instructions and directions clearly. High verbal communication skills are also necessary in resolving conflicts. Make sure you have a comprehensive written examination which includes tests based on possible situation they would most probably encounter at work. This is important to find out the level of their English verbal communication skills.
2. Test their observation skills.
The main duty of security guards is to detect possible problems (before they arise, as much as possible). Most training courses provided to security guards do not include observation skills which is unfortunate because being keen is very vital in securing people and properties. Again, have a holistic written exam that tests their observation skills, how well they make use of their senses. Sometimes it's worthwile to make them undergo sight and hearing tests to make sure they are fit for the job. You wouldn't want to hire guards with a poor eyesight or hearing (which you wouldn't be able to find out in a one-on-one job interview.)
3. Find out their ability to deter criminal behaviour.
Every secutiry hire agency and its contracted client says that the most vital factor for hiring security guards is their capability to deter crime with reasonable force. Make sure the ones you intend to employ have the proper and up-to-date trainings.
