In this role, you’ll take ownership of high-volume recruitment across a diverse range of security operations and client sites, helping us connect the right people with the right opportunities.

This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on our operations by building strong talent pipelines, discovering new ways to attract candidates, and partnering closely with operational leaders to meet evolving staffing needs. If you enjoy a busy recruitment desk, thrive on achieving targets, and love finding creative solutions to hiring challenges, we want to hear from you!

• Salary Range: $55,000–$60,000 per year

What You’ll Do

• Own the recruitment process. Manage multiple open requisitions from initial intake through candidate screening, interviews, selection, and the next steps toward onboarding.
• Recruit at scale. Conduct high-volume candidate outreach, phone screens, and virtual or in-person interviews while maintaining a positive, professional candidate experience.
• Build strong talent pipelines. Proactively source and engage candidates to support immediate hiring demands and future workforce needs.
• Think creatively. Explore new sourcing channels, leverage job boards and social media, encourage referrals, and develop innovative strategies to reach candidates in competitive labour markets.
• Partner with operations. Work closely with Account Managers, Operations Managers, and other stakeholders to understand staffing requirements, align recruitment priorities, and deliver results.
• Keep candidates engaged. Maintain consistent communication and follow-up throughout the recruitment process to build relationships, reduce candidate drop‑off, and keep hiring moving forward.
• Drive recruitment results. Balance competing priorities, manage changing requisition demands, and work toward hiring targets and established recruitment timelines.
• Represent the GardaWorld brand. Be a positive ambassador for our organization, helping candidates understand our opportunities and creating a welcoming first impression.
• Get out into the community. Participate in career fairs, hiring events, and community recruitment initiatives to expand our reach and connect with new talent.

What You Bring to the Team

• Recruitment experience: 2–4 years of experience in talent acquisition or recruitment, preferably in a high-volume environment.
• A high-volume mindset: Experience managing multiple requisitions simultaneously while staying organized and focused on results.
• Frontline recruitment experience: Experience recruiting for high‑turnover, operational, or frontline roles is a strong asset.
• Sourcing know‑how: Confidence using job boards, social media, employee referrals, and other channels to identify and attract qualified candidates.
• Relationship‑building skills: Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust with candidates and hiring managers.
• Organization and prioritization: The ability to manage a busy workload, meet deadlines, and adapt when priorities shift.
• A proactive approach: You take initiative, follow through on commitments, and look for solutions rather than waiting for direction.
• Technology proficiency: Experience using applicant tracking systems (ATS) and other recruitment technologies.
