I have just started a website that is designed to be a resource to help both job seekers and companies with security employment. Job seekers can upload resumes and search jobs for free. Companies can currently post job ads for free as well. This is specifically for the security industry. Everyone please check it out! The site is:

www.securityemploymentservices.com

I don't know who runs this website, but it is full of glaring spelling errors. I'm half tempted to find out.

... They're using a private whois company, which makes them unfindable...

Based on its awful design, inattention to spelling errors, and lack of owner accountability, I do not recommend giving out personal information to this site.

Actually you do not have to give any personal information to use the site. The only thing needed is a valid e-mail address to search or post jobs. This is a new site and still being upgraded, if you find any spelling errors please let me know so I can correct them. I am not the best at st web design but I am learning as I go along. I know things are not perfect but I really am trying to do something good here. I know about the difficulties of security recruitment and finding quality jobs.

Thanks for the effort.

I noticed one things that should be changed. On the Seurity Officer's Page you have the following statement: Security officers both contracted and in-house are recruited
from a pool of officers certified by BSIS within the State of
California. In other states the same or similar certifications
take place.

In Quebec & probably other areas in-house people do not always have to be certified (yet!).

Thanks for the reply! I know many in-house security employees do not need to be certified. That is something that I should defenitely change. The Officer Page is still a work in progress because I have been focusing mainly on the other sections. I appreciate all the help I can get!

The biggest thing you can do to inspire confidence is put a real point of contact page, listing who has control of the resumes. People are weird, they put everything from SSNs to phone numbers to home addresses on their resume.

As far as spelling mistakes... I'm sure people can send you instances where words are misspelled. My company does copywriting for twenty-five cents per word, one hundred word minimum per page.

Since your sticking around, and don't appear to be a one post spammer, welcome aboard. I would suggest doing a bit of research into how other states license their employees, especially since your advertising services. Unless your business has advertising injury on their policy, any "false advertising" or "injury resulting from false or negligent advertising" claims will be out of pocket.

Claiming that other states have similiar programs to BSIS is bad mojo. The only thing you need to be a security person in Wisconsin is 95 dollars and no security related convictions. They don't care about non-security related convictions. And state law says you can't either. Its discrimination.

No, I am not a spammer. I am a real Security Director. This is just a side business I have started with another Security Operations Manager to hopefully help the industry. He is doing most of the web design but I am trying to learn as well. That is why I appreciate all the help and advice we can get. Thank you!

I hope that you will post some security positions in the Connecticut area. It would be nice to see some in-house security jobs. :)

The site has been coming along very well. We have hundreds of security job seekers logged in and searching the site for employment. I encourage everyone to check it out especially if you are looking for security work or a way to advertise your business or job openings. We have free banners and links available, just contact me. Thanks again for all of your feedback!

Your poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation might have something to do with it.

Having seen some of the letters from companies in the Greater Chicagoland area, I'm afraid that the HR directors usually don't have better spelling or grammar. Seriously. :(

Perhaps. Still, inserting the word "like" in every other sentence can drive any HR person crazy.

You beat me to it. That's what I was going to answer :)

Using my GREAT powers of investigation do you think it is possible that bluecardholderillinois might be from Illinois ? :rolleyes:

It may be meaningless, but I am suspect of someone who posts in promotion of something and doesn't even give his location in his profile.
