What does a security guard staffing agency do?
A security staffing agency recruits officers and confirms they are licensed to work the post. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto your payroll rather than supplying contract guard hours. Licensing is state-administered and specific: most states issue a guard licence or card (California's BSIS guard card being the best-known), require pre-assignment training hours before a first shift, and license armed officers separately with a firearm qualification. We verify all of it with the licensing agency, because an unlicensed officer on your site is a liability rather than a coverage gap. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire.

Need permanent officers instead of rotating contract coverage?
Contract guard hours are billed with a markup and staffed by whoever is available, which means a stranger learning your access rules, your people and your escalation path every few weeks. Security is mostly familiarity: knowing who belongs. A permanent officer is a one-time fee and actually recognises the person who does not.

Credential Verification
Every Licence Verified Before Delivery
Unverified security guards never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
State guard licence and training hours
Most states license security officers and require pre-assignment training before a first shift, with the hours and content set by the state. We verify the licence with the issuing agency and confirm the training requirement is met, since posting an officer who has not completed it exposes the site rather than protecting it.
Armed permits and qualification
Armed officers are licensed separately, with a firearm qualification that expires on its own schedule. We confirm the armed permit and the qualification date with the issuing agency, and flag anything approaching expiry rather than treating it as the officer's problem.
Background screening and post fit
Security roles carry a higher screening bar as a matter of course: FCRA-compliant county, state and federal checks, employment history verification, and post-specific screening for healthcare or industrial environments where de-escalation and safety training matter more than presence.
Pricing
Two Models, Same Quality
Direct Hire
Of first-year salary · on successful hire only · no retainer
90-Day Written Guarantee: If a placed security guard leaves or is terminated within 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost. Available on both RPO and Direct Hire models.
Employer Value
What an Unfilled Security Guard Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An uncovered post is not just a rota gap: it is an access-control failure, an insurance question and, in a regulated environment, a compliance finding.
A verified 3-5 shortlist of security guards lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks the seat stays uncovered.
State licence, training hours and armed permits are verified with the licensing agency before shortlist, so nobody stands a post they are not licensed for.
Pay only when you hire, at 12-20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous administrative & operations hiring, with no per-hire fee.
If a placed security guard leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.
