If we observe the overview of the current COVID-19 outbreak, we would realize that the situation in Thailand has not yet been alleviated, and rather seems to have become more severe as the fifth wave. The measures of the government and Ministry of Public Health are also becoming intensive again. Likewise, the security service of Guardforce Security still adheres to the government’s safety measures, and is always strictly monitoring the situation, i.e., security services, employees’ care, recruitment, and selection to work at the company.
Because security jobs mainly rely on “humans” for work, therefore, we give precedence to the sequence of recruitment and selection. That is because whether or not these jobs would generate satisfactory feedback or be successful, it is all depends on the employees’ performance in meeting the customers’ needs or not. Therefore, recruitment and selection are as significant as personnel administration. Undoubtedly, we are ultimately strict with the security job application of all applicants.
Recruitment and selection in the New Normal of Guardforce does not only give precedence to health safety during the COVID-19 outbreak, but also to the standards of security guard recruitment to work at the company. We have strict measures in compliance with the relevant laws with 100% transparency. As a result, the customers of the security services of Guardforce can be assured of their safety and feel comfortable with our service.
Due to the current crimes that keep increasing everyday, illnesses, and other social issues, security is indispensable for society and is one of the top professions. Personnel in this profession are security guards in charge of securing people’s life, properties, businesses, stores, companies, and even government agencies. They all need security to protect everybody’s property and body.
Furthermore, nowadays, the duties of the security guards include much higher responsibilities because they must take care of and secure people’s life and property, as well as examine, inspect, and facilitate people in other aspects as assigned by their agencies or the government sector. They must also adhere to the strict objectives and discipline of the work. Therefore, we must give precedence to the recruitment and selection procedures to work at the company with their full efficiency.
According to the Security Guard Business Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the application for and granting of a license shall be in compliance with the rules, procedures, and conditions prescribed in the Ministerial Regulations. The security guard company must verify the criminal records of its security guards, and all security guards must attend security trainings. According to Section 34, an applicant for a license to be a licensed security guard must possess a qualification and not be under any of the following exclusions.
1. Thai nationality.
2. Not under 18 years of age.

We enforce strict COVID-19 testing before work in order to prevent the spreading of the virus by using an ATK test, which is conducted by registered nurses. Therefore, customers can be assured of the safety and precision of the test.

For customers of any agencies who are still worried about their safety against COVID-19, they can select the employees who are fully vaccinated, or customers can ask them to take a weekly COVID-19 test before work. A proof of vaccination and tests are regarded as significant. Customers can view these documents to support the selection of the employees.
