Recruitment, Qualifications and Independent Verification
RecruitAGuard is an online recruitment and networking platform designed to connect individuals seeking employment in the South African private security industry with security companies and prospective employers seeking suitably qualified security personnel.
RecruitAGuard facilitates the creation of professional profiles, the submission of qualifications and supporting documentation, the advertisement of vacancies and the matching of candidates against employer-specified requirements.
RecruitAGuard does not independently certify, authenticate or guarantee the validity, accuracy or authenticity of any documentation, qualification, PSIRA registration, police clearance certificate, employment history, reference or competency submitted by a registered user, unless a specific verification has been expressly completed and identified as such on the platform.
All security companies and prospective employers remain responsible for conducting their own independent verification and due diligence before engaging, employing or deploying any security officer. This includes, where applicable:
- Verification of PSIRA registration and current standing.
- Verification of security grades, qualifications and training certificates.
- Verification of police clearance certificates and relevant background information through lawful procedures.
- Verification of firearm competency and other role-specific certifications.
- Confirmation of employment history, references and relevant experience.
- Compliance with applicable South African employment, private security and data protection legislation.
A candidate's appearance in search results, a positive match score or the presence of uploaded documents does not constitute confirmation that the candidate has been independently verified or is legally eligible for a particular position.
RecruitAGuard does not guarantee employment, candidate suitability, the authenticity of user-submitted information or the performance of any person or organisation using the platform.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under South African law.
By using RecruitAGuard, users acknowledge that the platform facilitates recruitment connections and that employers must independently verify candidate credentials before appointment or deployment.
