General Recruiting & Sourcing

  • Sourcing – The process of finding and attracting potential candidates before they apply for a job.
  • Screening – Reviewing candidates’ qualifications to decide if they meet role requirements.
  • Pipeline – A pool of candidates (active + passive) that can be tapped for current and future needs.
  • Active Candidate – Someone actively applying for jobs.
  • Passive Candidate – Someone not actively applying but open to the right opportunity.
  • Talent Pool – A broader group of individuals who might be suitable for different RSS roles, even if not hired immediately.

Sourcing Methods

  • Job Boards – Online platforms where jobs are posted (e.g., Indeed, Craigslist, ZipRecruiter).
  • Referrals – Candidates recommended by current employees, contractors, or previous hires.
  • Boolean Search – Using AND/OR/NOT operators to refine search results (e.g., "executive protection" AND Los Angeles).
  • Geofencing Ads – Location-based ads targeting candidates within a defined geographic area.
  • Direct Outreach – Contacting potential candidates directly (e.g., LinkedIn messages, cold emails).
  • Community Sourcing – Partnering with community organizations, schools, or military groups for candidate flow.

Contract & Client Context

  • RFP (Request for Proposal) – A formal request from a client (often corporate or government) asking RSS to bid for services.
  • Bid – The proposal RSS submits to win a contract.
  • Contract Staffing – Providing staff to fulfill specific terms of a signed agreement with a client.
  • Surge Hiring – Rapid recruitment for short-term, high-volume needs (e.g., conventions, concerts).

Role-Specific Recruiting

  • Event Security Staff – Guards hired for short-term event security (badge checks, access control, crowd management).
  • Patrol Officer – Guard assigned to ongoing patrol duties (property checks, site security).
  • Executive Protection (EP) Agent – Specialized role providing personal security for high-profile clients.
  • Corporate Staff – Internal RSS hires (HR, operations, accounting, etc.).
  • Support Staff – Admin and logistical workers who handle guard check-ins, payroll logging, and event coordination.

Recruiting Metrics

  • Fill Rate – The percentage of open positions that are successfully filled.
  • Time-to-Fill – How long it takes to hire for a role.
  • Quality of Hire – A measure of how well new hires meet performance and reliability expectations.
  • No-Show Rate – The percentage of workers who fail to appear for scheduled shifts (critical in event staffing).

RSS-Specific Applications

  • Hot Fill – Urgent staffing request from a client that must be filled within hours or days.
  • Candidate Reliability Index – An internal measure of a guard/employee’s dependability (attendance, punctuality, past performance).
  • Standby List – A pre-vetted list of guards who can be called for last-minute coverage.
  • Warm Candidate – Someone not currently active but previously screened and ready for re-engagement.
