What RSS Recruits For

RSS recruits across four main categories of talent:

  1. Event Security
    • Guards for concerts, festivals, conventions, sporting events, and private gatherings.
    • Roles include crowd control, access control, credential checks, bag searches, patrolling, and incident response.
  2. Patrol Security (Foot, Bike, Vehicle)
    • Guards who protect client sites through scheduled or random patrols.
    • Duties include perimeter checks, reporting incidents, enforcing property rules, and deterring criminal activity.
  3. Executive Protection (EP)
    • Highly trained specialists who provide discreet, professional close protection for high-profile individuals (executives, athletes, entertainers, politicians).
    • Involves threat assessment, risk management, and sometimes global travel.
  4. Corporate/Admin & Support Staff
    • HR/admin staff, event admin, and other client-facing or internal support roles.
    • These hires support the operations side of RSS and ensure clients have seamless service beyond the field.

Why It Matters

Recruiting the right people isn’t just “filling slots” — it’s the foundation of RSS’s reputation and growth.

  1. Client Trust & Retention
    • A single bad hire can jeopardize a client relationship.
    • Professional, well-trained staff reinforce RSS’s credibility and build long-term client loyalty.
  2. Safety & Liability
    • Security is high-stakes — the wrong person in uniform can increase risk instead of reducing it.
    • Recruiting carefully helps protect people, property, and RSS from lawsuits or reputational harm.
  3. Event & Contract Success
    • Large events, like conventions or sports tournaments, depend on having the right number of qualified guards.
    • Strong recruiting ensures RSS can deliver on promises and scale to client needs.
  4. Competitive Advantage
    • Many firms can “supply bodies.” RSS recruits professionals aligned with its values (Accountability, Accuracy, Integrity, Respect, Dependability).
    • This difference is what sets RSS apart in bids and proposals.
  5. Business Development Support
    • Every candidate pipeline directly supports the business pipeline.
    • Clients return (or refer RSS to others) because staffing is reliable, professional, and consistent.

In short: RSS recruits for event, patrol, executive protection, and corporate/admin roles — and it matters because recruiting the right people safeguards the company’s reputation, fulfills client contracts, reduces liability, and fuels business growth.

What Makes RSS Different

1. Blending Humanpower + Technology

Most firms lean heavily on either traditional guards or outsourced tech. RSS deliberately integrates site staffing, patrols, AND advanced security technologies (CCTV, guard tour systems, NFC/QR tracking, surveillance equipment) to create a more comprehensive solution.

2. Executive Protection Expertise with Global Reach

Many security companies stop at local events or patrol. RSS extends into executive protection with worldwide experience—protecting high-profile clients (corporate execs, athletes, entertainers, politicians) and traveling internationally. That global, high-stakes background builds credibility even at local job sites.

3. Diverse Service Portfolio

Instead of specializing in only one area (e.g., just events or just patrol), RSS covers:

  • Event security
  • Patrol security (foot, bike, vehicle)
  • Loss prevention
  • Lobby & visitor management
  • Corporate/admin staffing
  • Armed/unarmed guards
  • Consulting & threat assessments
  • Technology & CCTV installation

This one-stop shop model lets clients solve multiple security needs with a single vendor.

4. Customized, Risk-Based Solutions

RSS doesn’t just assign guards—it conducts security threat assessments to tailor staffing and solutions to the vulnerabilities of each client site or event. This proactive approach reduces liability and improves client trust.

5. Reputation Built on Values

RSS’s core values—Accountability, Accuracy, Integrity, Respect, and Dependability—are more than words. They shape recruiting, training, and service delivery. Clients experience consistent professionalism and strong ethical standards, setting RSS apart from firms where guards may lack alignment with company values.

6. Proven Track Record with Major Clients

RSS has worked with city and county governments, pro sports associations, festivals, retail chains, and property management firms. These high-profile contracts validate RSS’s ability to scale, handle complexity, and deliver reliably—something smaller firms can’t always demonstrate.

7. Leadership Experience & Longevity

With 50+ years of combined leadership experience in security services, systems installation, and executive protection, RSS’s management team brings a depth of expertise that reassures clients and attracts seasoned recruits.

In short: RSS sets itself apart by offering breadth (services), depth (global EP experience), and integrity (values-driven culture) while leveraging technology and tailoring solutions to client needs.
