Let’s be real—hiring in the security industry isn’t always straightforward. Whether it’s finding the right talent or navigating through the endless vetting process, things can slow down fast. At GuardPass, we get it.
That’s why we’ve rolled out new updates that can make your hiring process quicker, simpler, and stress-free.
If you’re a security firm or decision-maker responsible for hiring, you’ll want to know about these changes.
With approximately 800 staff at 1,500 sites across the UK to manage, we have had to resort to booking through external security training companies from time to time, but it’s just not been a fluid experience. Get Licensed was different – providing a great platform that is really easy to use, allowing us to book security training at scale with clear visibility of costs and location availability. Get Licensed also combines First Aid training with SIA Top-up training, which was a real game changer for us. This saved us a lot of time – with staff attending one training course instead of the usual two and money – with fewer staff absences due to training, as well as the cost of two separate courses being higher than the one. I couldn’t recommend using the Get Licensed platform highly enough.

Since using GuardPass I have found them helpful and innovative. Unlike other platforms their customer service is amazing with weekly calls to see if they can improve and to offer advice. Their dashboard is user friendly, and their support team are always available. By far the most cost-effective platform for seeking security personnel

In terms of the numbers, we’ve seen over 3,000 applicants in the first three weeks. That’s off the back of 60 adverts. It was explained to us that we’d be looking to get around about 60, 70 applicants per application across a whole month, compared to other sources that we’ve used, Indeed and other things. That would take us four or five months to get to that level. It makes a massive difference for us that the GuardPass applicants have registered, valid SIA badge numbers. It just saves us so much time in terms of interviewing if we know that we’re interviewing top quality candidates. It’s revolutionized what we do, really, in terms of good quality candidates coming through, but at a high volume, which is what we need to continue to deliver for our clients. It’s just been a pleasure working with the team at GuardPass, from the account managers to sales managers. The level of support that we’ve had, unprecedented really, with regards to other providers that we’ve had. And we’re getting the results, which is fundamentally the most important thing.
I am delighted with our setup as evidenced by the data in our application reporting dashboards. The current application-per-job rate we are receiving from your job board is the highest we’ve ever observed, significantly surpassing any previous records for specialist job boards. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the results we’re achieving with GuardPass. (Daniel Pitman, Compass)
I’m delighted to share our experience with Guardpass, a positive game-changer in our security officer recruitment efforts. Following an initial trial period (purchasing several job advertisements and cv searches), it became evident that Guardpass outshone the competition. Recognising its potential, I made the decision to invest in a bulk package. Guardpass sets itself apart with its intuitive interface and exclusive focus on qualified security officers. The requirement for a valid SIA license ensures a pool of skilled professionals, eliminating the tedious task of filtering out unqualified applicants. A standout feature of Guardpass is its provision of video introductions, allowing us to assess candidates’ communication skills upfront. Within just two months of adopting Guardpass, we successfully onboarded eight exceptional security officers, a testament to its efficacy. I must extend my appreciation to Will Cooper at Guardpass for his invaluable support and professionalism throughout our collaboration. Guardpass has seamlessly integrated into our recruitment framework, proving to be an indispensable resource for sourcing top-tier security personnel. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any organisation seeking excellence in their security staffing.
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service provided by GuardPass. Thanks to their efficient and effective services, we were able to find fantastic staff quickly and easily. Their communication throughout the process was outstanding, making the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend GuardPass to anyone seeking top-tier recruitment solutions.
Having struggled to recruit quality security staff on other platforms, GuardPass has been an absolute Godsend. I would spend hours trawling applications and wasting time on calling interested individuals, who 9 times out of 10 would be unsuitable for the role because of poor communication skills and/or not speaking English fluently. Often the people who presented well on the telephone would come for and interview, and still not fit the bill because their stature, confidence and tidiness fell below the required standard. With profile pictures and the introductory videos, I can get a much better “feel” for the candidate before I even pick up the phone, meaning I don’t waste my time speaking to people I’d not even consider employing. The CV search is also a handy tool, and allows me to actively search out individuals near the venues I need to cover, particularly useful when looking for female staff. The cost of our subscription is more than offset by the savings made by allowing me and my team to spend less time on recruitment
GuardPass has helped our company to successfully find suitable candidates for our ever-growing company. The site is really easy to use, and every candidate needing to have a licence is so much easier than any other platform! Myself and colleagues being able to be on the platform saves so much time, and we can all see where we are up to with candidates with the ability to add notes and put them in different categories.
