What a security staffing agency should fix
Open posts cost more than one shift. A midnight callout turns into overtime, an unbilled hour, and an apology to the client. The fix runs on two tracks: licensed officers standing post in your state, and a support desk keeping schedules, licenses and invoices current.
Open posts compound
A midnight callout turns into overtime, an unbilled hour, and an apology to the client.
Margin leaks twice
Posts sit empty because licensed officers are slow to source, and supervisors burn the week on scheduling instead of coverage.
Two tracks, one fix
Licensed officers stand post in your state while a support desk keeps schedules, licenses and invoices current.
A guard post is local
The right model depends on the desk. A guard post is local. A dispatch queue is not.
Two models, one honest number
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary for a permanent placement. US direct hire starts at a $995 retainer, Global Fully Managed at an all-inclusive hourly rate, and neither asks for a long contract. Pick the model that matches the desk, then move the rest later.
Scheduling, dispatch coordination, licensing tracking and billing, run as fully managed desks inside your systems. From $12/hr all-inclusive, one monthly fee covering sourcing, vetting, payroll and support.

Five segments hire differently. Corporate security wants consistent officers and clean reporting, retail wants shrink control, and government contract work wants documentation. Residential wants familiar faces at the gate. The mix changes by segment, but the split between onsite posts and global support holds across all five.
Fixed posts, a lobby, and a console that never goes dark. The same buyer usually owns building services, covered on our janitorial and facilities staffing page.
Headcount spikes, then vanishes. Crews, stagehands and production staff sit on our live events and production staffing page.
Gate attendants and patrol officers residents know by name. Turnover is the problem, so vetting depth beats speed.
Officers on the floor, plus an analyst reading incident reports chain wide. That analyst seat is a global seat.
Documentation is the deliverable. A licensing coordinator keeps every file current before the audit asks.

The right model depends on the seat, not the business. Some roles need someone in the building; back-office, documentation and administrative work does not, and costs far less remotely.

Common questions
What is security staffing?
Security staffing is sourcing, screening and placing the people a security operation runs on. That covers licensed field roles such as officers, supervisors and console operators, plus the back office roles that keep them scheduled, licensed and billed. HireHawk fills both groups, using US direct hire for posts and Global Fully Managed for desks.
How much per hour does a global security desk cost?
Global Fully Managed starts from $12/hr all-inclusive. That rate covers the team member, equipment, management and a dedicated Client Success Manager, with no separate recruitment fee. It runs month to month, so a dispatch desk can start small. Against a comparable US salary, the saving reaches up to 70%.
Which model fits guard posts versus the security back office?
Start from the desk, not the company. If the role wears a uniform, walks a site or holds a state license, it is a US direct hire at a $995 retainer plus 12.5% of first-year salary. If it lives in a scheduling, billing or reporting tool, it is a global seat. Most security firms run both.
Can I hire temporary guards for one weekend?
No, and that is the honest answer. HireHawk places permanent officers onto your payroll rather than renting hours by the shift. For one unexpected weekend, a regional guard contractor with officers on the bench serves you better. Come to us for posts you intend to keep staffed all year.
Do you place armed officers?
Yes. Armed and unarmed posts are both in scope for US direct hire across all 50 states. You set the license class, weapons qualification and background standard your state and client require. Those become criteria inside 5-Stage Vetting, so candidates below the standard never reach your shortlist.
How fast can you fill an open post?
Your shortlist arrives in 10 calendar days from the day the post is scoped. Onboarding then runs in 21 days. Speed comes from screening depth rather than volume, since fewer than 1% of applicants are presented and the other 99% never clear 5-Stage Vetting.
What happens if an officer placement does not work out?
Each model carries its own guarantee. US direct hire is covered by a 60-day replacement guarantee, so a placement that fails inside that window gets replaced. Global Fully Managed carries a 100% performance replacement guarantee, and your Client Success Manager handles the swap. Neither asks for a new retainer.
