More information about Recruitment
Specialist Yorkshire security recruitment agencies will usually work with clients across cities such as Leeds, Bradford and Sheffield to fill permanent or temporary vacancies within the different sub-sectors of the security industry. Also covering other notable towns and cities including Wakefield, Halifax, Huddersfield and Barnsley, security recruiters are in high demand within the county and will be adept at supplying staff for vacancies in risk management, fraud, sales, loss prevention (LP) and corporate security.
The security industry in Yorkshire encompasses a range of job roles with salaries and working conditions being determined by the job role and level of experience. Senior professionals such as heads of security or crisis managers tend to receive some of the highest industry salaries in Yorkshire at £50K+ per annum. Executive / management personnel will typically work a standard week with only occasional overtime expected. Earnings for other job roles within security fall more comfortably towards the UK average, with LP supervisors, CCTV engineers and systems integrators commanding £25K-£35K.
Yorkshire security recruitment firms will subject candidates to qualification checks before recommending them for their clients' permanent, temporary or contract security vacancies. Most entry-level positions won't require academic credentials, however some qualifications and licenses are needed of some professionals. The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is responsible for supplying two types of licenses and these are categorised as 'front line' and 'non-front line.' Your job role will indicate which of these licenses you require, with managers, directors and supervisors typically needing the latter. Other necessary qualifications will be job specific with degrees, diplomas and apprenticeships being important for technical positions such as engineering.
Local employers looking to recruit for a security vacancy will often approach a specialist Yorkshire agency in order to source suitable candidates for the position. Many of these specialist recruiters will also offer a search and select service to help uncover the most sought after security professionals in the region.
