– Corporate Security jobs: These Candidates constitute 38.2% of successful hires in this job sub-type. Jobs that don’t require prior combat experience pay less than jobs that do have this requirement. But unlike PSS/PSD jobs, prior combat experience may or may not be required. – Static Security jobs: Veterans discharged within the past 2 years are selected for the majority of Static Security jobs (33.1% of Candidates from this job sub-type) due to active security clearances and typically having a combat arms MOS. – PSS / PSD jobs: At 35.5% of hires in this job sub-type, factors that contributed the most to outperforming other Candidates were a combat MOS, having more than 12 months of PSS/PSD experience in a combat zone and a security clearance. Notably, this category of Candidates secures the majority of jobs in the following job categories: The majority (over 90%) of the selected Candidates were discharged within the last 2 years. US Veterans who discharged from the military less than 5 years ago are the overall most hireable Candidate type and constitute 27.5% of total Candidates hired across all categories. These statistics also illustrate the competitiveness of this job sector with only ~7% of Candidates even considered qualified for the job to which they’re applying.ĭepending on where you are coming from, here are some basic things you need to know to set yourself up for success: Approved Candidates who were not selected by the Employer were mostly due to Candidates not being responsive or Candidates accepting alternative job opportunities.
The end result is a staggering job placement success rate: Over a period of 10 months, over 26,000 Candidates applied for security jobs on – of the 1,581 Candidates that were approved by our team, 1,342 (or 84.9%) of these Candidates were selected by the Employer and placed into jobs all around the globe.
COMBAT ARMS MOS HOW TO
As a team that consists of all combat veterans and private security operators we understand how to translate what Candidates are bringing to the table however, we also scrub the job posts and have a dialogue with each respective Employer for every single job requisition to fully understand what the job actually entails, who the end-client is, what the client is seeking in a Candidate, and why those requirements are important to the client in the first place. This is the very reason that every job post on is posted by someone on our team instead of the Employer. As a result, Employer job requisitions will list skill sets and requirements that use conflicting and confusing terminology.Īs simple as this sounds, this massive translation problem is the reason why Employers have such a hard time identifying and hiring the right Candidate. Recruiters looking for private security professionals often don’t know the correct terminology to use or don’t know how to articulate what attributes they are looking for in an ideal Candidate.
The other part of the confusion lies with the Employer. While there may be some overlap in skills, Executive Protection jobs require skill sets, experiences and a level of responsibility that are far more complex than any PSD job out there. A common example of this is when we run into military veterans or defense contractors falsely equate PSD experience to executive protection experience. Part of the confusion lies with the Candidate. Why the confusion? Many Candidates think, “I’ve served in the military and have combat experience so getting a private security job should be easy.” This is a faulty assumption and mindset. We often see Candidates who are experienced in one security job type apply for jobs where they have little or no experience – and they don’t understand that there’s even a difference in the job types. In the infographic below, we examined the profiles of over 1,300 Candidates that were selected and successfully placed into various private security jobs and explain why they’re making the cut. Navigating this can be confusing for job seekers. Within this sector, there are many categories of jobs that require very specific attributes, skills, and experiences. Private security jobs fall within an extremely competitive and highly-skilled job sector.
