RECRUITING AND HIRING
8 Allied Universal applies a structured, intelligence-based approach to matching candidates with the right roles.
Our system profiles every job using a proprietary FIT
Framework, evaluating multiple dimensions such as
environment, expectations, and job demands. Once a
candidate completes the interview process, hiring moves forward without delay through a streamlined progression:
• Step 1: Conditional offer extended immediately
• Step 2: Automated onboarding begins, including
background checks and required documentation
• Step 3: Real-time visibility for hiring managers into candidate progress
• Step 4: In-person confirmation of grooming,
professionalism, and site readiness prior to assignment Before assignment, candidates complete an in-person
confirmation to verify professionalism, grooming,
communication, and site readiness. This step supports
alignment with client-specific expectations and reinforces consistent service standards.
Allied Universal’s electronic onboarding process
eliminates manual paperwork and accelerates
deployment. Depending on licensing and role
requirements, many officers move from offer to active
staffing in less than one week, allowing local teams to focus on training, supervision, and client service.
Technology-Enabled Precision Matching Unparalleled Recruiting Resources and Partnerships Our national recruiting infrastructure
provides access to a talent pipeline
of more than one million candidates,
supporting reliable staffing across
diverse markets and labor
conditions. Military hiring is a
cornerstone of this strategy.
Veterans bring leadership, discipline
and teamwork—qualities essential
to effective security operations.
Through our There for Our
Veterans
program, we partner
with leading organizations to support
military members transitioning to
civilian careers, including:
• ESGR (Employer Support of the
Guard and Reserve)
• Wounded Warrior Project
• HireVeterans
• Hero2Hired (H2H)
• National Guard programs
• Salute America’s Heroes
Where We Recruit
To sustain a strong, diverse, and reliable talent pipeline, we recruit from a wide range of channels:
• Allied Universal Careers Platform (jobs.aus.com)
• Digital job boards and professional networks
• Internal promotions and employee referrals
• Colleges, universities, and trade schools
• Law enforcement academies and public safety agencies
• Job fairs, hiring events, and open houses
• Professional associations (ASIS, SHRM, NACE, BOMA, ICSC, Chambers of Commerce)

APPLICATION REVIEW & ASSESSMENT
• Careful analysis focuses on employment history and stability, and on experience/qualifications specific to the job opening.
INTERVIEWS
• Initial interview assesses punctuality and appearance and clarifies points of the candidate’s application. Multiple interviews may be conducted. Candidates progressing
beyond this level attend our orientation program.
ELECTRONIC I-9 and E-VERIFY
• Employment verification is completed to present proof of eligibility to work in the U.S. All potential employees are processed through E-Verify, the government’s
employment eligibility system.
INTEGRITY/HONESTY ASSESSMENT
• Behavioral Assessments are available on a pre-placement basis to evaluate attitudes and behaviors linked to integrity, honesty, trustworthiness and customer service aptitude.
Assessments are predictive (no guarantee of performance or behaviors); available for an additional charge.
CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS
• Prior to being assigned, each employee undergoes a criminal records background check (except where such is conducted as part of the state guard licensing agency). Where required, fingerprints are taken and submitted to the appropriate law enforcement agency for a detailed background investigation.
Statewide criminal checks are also conducted when required.
NATIONAL SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY (except CA and NV
where checks can only be done in accordance with state law) • This step searches the Federal Department of Justice
database, which includes real time listings of registered sex offenders. By searching the DOJ, the most complete and
current report is available.
PRE-EMPLOYMENT DRUG TESTING
• Oral ten-panel drug tests are completed prior to assignment for all applicants. Lab urinalysis testing is available at an additional charge.
MOTOR VEHICLE REPORT
• Security Professionals designated to drive a vehicle are subject to Motor Vehicle Report checks to verify driving eligibility and must complete on-site training before they can operate a vehicle.
SOCIAL SECURITY TRACE
• Run on each candidate to verify identify and history of addresses. The latter is used to assure all associated
addresses are considered when determining states and
countries to be included in the criminal background check.
SCREENING
MANAGEMENT TESTING
• May involve one or more behavioral assessment tools to help assess candidates’ management abilities, drive,
maturity and people skills, and evaluate whether they are a good fit for the position.
EDUCATION & EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION
• In the event that the contract requires education and/or employment verifications, these services can be
completed for a nominal fee.
