Recruitment

How We Recruit
As your security provider, U.S. Security Associates is responsible for every aspect of the security function: hiring, screening, placing and managing personnel, as well as ensuring security coverage and accountability.    

We use the most accurate, rigorous background screening system in the industry. At the core of our employment policy is our Past-Positive Applicant Verification System. 

Past-Positive is designed to meet all regulatory hiring and licensing requirements while rejecting unqualified applicants.

It verifies previous educational background, work history, employment references, criminal records, Social Security number, driver’s license validity and ensures that applicable state licensing procedures are met. It also verifies that all screening checks have been completed, and confirms that the results exceed a defined standard.

Past-Positive provides a distinct advantage over other uniformed security services companies who state that they have written screening policies, but do not warrant that checks are performed or that hiring standards are maintained without a costly, after-the-fact, audit sample.

Our system absolutely minimizes the level of exposure to liability.
     
Who We Recruit
Our background screening process is selective and vigilant. We are dedicated to recruiting and retaining individuals with characteristics of trustworthiness, motivation and reliability.

In addition to using traditional recruiting methods, we developed our own program: “The Security Officer Recruiter” (SOR), which is supported by our exclusive Best Practices Recruiting Manual.

All prospective employees are screened for alcohol and illegal drugs as a prerequisite for employment, and clients can also request drug screening on an annual or random basis.

All candidates are interviewed in person by local office personnel to determine their suitability for a position.
