Recruiter – Security Staffing

About The Role

We're hiring a Recruiter to lead full-cycle hiring for security officer positions across our sites. This role owns the candidate journey from initial sourcing through phone screening, interview coordination, and new-hire compliance intake - working closely with Scheduling, HR, and Operations to keep staffing pipelines strong and every hire fully compliant with California licensing requirements.

What You'll Do

• Sourcing & Pipeline Development
  • Proactively source candidates through multiple channels: job boards, internal training pipeline graduates (Guard Card, firearm permit holders), BSIS-certified training schools, employee referrals, rehire/alumni outreach, community job fairs, staffing agencies, and social media
  • Ensure every posting clearly reflects role, site type, schedule, pay range, and licensing requirements
  • Maintain and re-engage a talent pool of pre-screened candidates
• Candidate Screening & Intake
  • Review incoming resumes, applications, referrals, and walk-in inquiries
  • Conduct structured phone screens covering availability, commute, licensing status, prior security experience, and professionalism
  • Manage application requirements and interview scheduling
• Interviewing & Selection
  • Lead initial candidate interviews, confirming understanding of job duties, schedule, and compliance requirements
  • Coordinate second interviews with Scheduling, Operations, or HR when required (e.g., high-risk or armed sites)
  • Document interview outcomes and submit pass/fail recommendations
• Onboarding & Compliance
  • Extend conditional job offers and schedule new hires for orientation
  • Complete pre-orientation identity verification (photo ID, I-9 documentation, California onboarding forms, BSIS Guard Card verification)
  • Serve as backup orientation provider when needed
• Post-Hire Support
  • Conduct structured employee follow-ups at key milestones (post-orientation, first shift, 30/60/90 days, and beyond) to gather feedback on payroll, scheduling, training, HR, and dispatch support
• Field & Community Outreach
  • Represent the company at job fairs and networking events to build candidate awareness and interest
  • Build and maintain relationships with local high schools, community colleges, and vocational schools to establish a steady referral pipeline
  • Coordinate with training program job placement offices to connect with upcoming graduates

What We're Looking For

• Prior experience in recruiting, staffing, or HR - security or field-services industry a plus
• Familiarity with (or willingness to learn) BSIS licensing requirements and I-9/employment eligibility verification
• Strong communication and interviewing skills; comfortable managing a high-volume candidate pipeline
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to follow structured compliance processes
• Ability to work collaboratively across Scheduling, HR, and Operations teams
