Recruitment & Selection

Our staffs are an important focus of our service delivery and as a leading Security Company we have one very clear purpose:

"To meet and exceed the expectations of every client"

To succeed with this aim we must attract, recruit and retain the right sort of people. The Goldhold service depends on the quality of its workforce, and the Company recognises the need for effective recruitment practices in which the client will have confidence in our ability to provide employees who are suitable for positions of trust and responsibility. Prior to employment, Goldhold employees undergo rigorous background enquiries designed to establish stability and reliability over at least a ten-year period. These investigations utilise all available sources of information and are conducted by a team of dedicated, trained and experienced screening officers who operate independently of operations. To manage the recruitment and selection process effectively and professionally Goldhold has embarked on a number of major personnel initiatives. These include improved staff communications and the endorsement of a practical guide to recruitment.

The Screening Process

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 Goldhold uses an extensive vetting process when hiring and continues with intensive candidate evaluation for specific jobs. Instead of "screening-out" undesirable candidates for jobs, Goldhold concentrates on "screening-in" the best candidate; matching the skills of the officer to the skill requirements needed for the job.

Security Training

Our commitment to employee training and development is second-to-none in the contract security industry. Well-designed, professionally executed training programs carried out by qualified and experienced staff help produce knowledgeable and motivated employees, which results in lower turnover, less absenteeism, and higher standards of performance than most of our competitors in the industry.
