Paragon Security is a professional environment. Applicants should dress to impress when attending for an interview. Business or Business Casual attire is always recommended when attending for a job interview. Applicants should also ALWAYS bring a hard copy of a current resume and a security license. Good luck to all that apply!
All licensed security guards have a background check conducted by the Ministry of Community Safety at the Licensing stage. Certain sites require a higher level of background and/or security clearance. This is completed with the employee with assistance from Paragon Management.
I don't remember on top of my head, but it's basic questions
Applicants for full time work should be available for all shifts. However, if an applicant has restrictions on certain hours or a site preference, this will not disqualify them for employment, but please be honest and discuss this with your Recruiter during the interview. Part time positions have more flexible hours.
Paragon Security has excellent benefits for all full time employees which are provided after the three month probationary period. Medical, Dental, Prescription Drugs, Vision Care, Family Coverage, etc.
Paragon's on-boarding/hiring process is very fast. Experienced guards can often start immediately. Those new to the industry are immediately booked into two days training and are deployed to the field upon completion.
Paragon Security is a family business. Family business describes more than the ownership of the company it is the vibe and culture. Everyone gets a fair chance at Paragon. Employees are treated as part of a family, not a number which is unfortunately the way many of our competitors treat their employees.
That's a long list. For one, be more selective in the hiring process, there are far too many people there that have no clue what they're doing and many who don't care.
Provide more training for those interested. Give people a reason to care about their job by properly equipping them for their job.
If you ask your employees to enforce rules, don't immediately throw them under the bus when someone is upset about them enforcing the rules.
