How we work

Three principles. Held the line.

Security recruitment is not a CV game. The cost of a bad hire shows up in incidents and lawsuits. These three principles stay fixed.

Licence first

Every shortlisted candidate has SIA status verified up front. We do not waste your time with paperwork that turns out to be lapsed.

Operationally realistic

We brief against the actual site, hours, post and reporting structure - not just a JD. Right-fit, not best-CV.

One consultant

You speak to one named recruiter end to end. Context stays in one place; accountability stays where it belongs.

Our disciplines

Ten security disciplines. One careful approach.

From front-desk officers to close protection details, here is the spread of UK security roles we recruit permanently.

Security Officers

SIA-licensed front-line officers for commercial, retail, industrial and corporate sites.

Door Supervisors

Licensed door supervisors for licensed premises, late-night venues and event control.

III

Mobile Patrol

Mobile officers covering multi-site rounds, lock-up, key holding and rapid response.

CCTV Operators

Public-space and private-site CCTV operators with required licences and incident-reporting experience.

Event Security

Permanent positions with venues and event firms running stewarding, control rooms and incident response.

Close Protection

CP-licensed officers for residential, executive and corporate protection. Discretion is the brief.

VII

Retail Loss Prevention

Store detectives and loss-prevention officers for high-street and shopping-centre operations.

VIII

Industrial Security

Officers for warehousing, manufacturing, logistics depots and high-value industrial sites.

Aviation Security

Officers and supervisors with airport-side experience and the certifications that go with it.

Security Management

Site managers, account managers, regional managers and operations directors.

Our process

Brief to first shift, in four moves.

A repeatable rhythm that respects your operational deadlines.

Brief

Site, hours, post, reporting line, must-haves and licensing requirements.

Source

Active network plus targeted outreach. SIA verification before shortlist.

III

Shortlist

Three to five strong matches with availability, references and licence detail.

Place

You select, we coordinate. Follow-up at week one, month one and month three.

Where Cerberus Staffing fits

Most UK security clients we work with run two parallel staffing problems: a rotating contingent labour pool that shows up shift-by-shift, and a permanent leadership and supervisor layer that keeps the operation honest. The first is well served by other agencies. The second is where we live.

Cerberus is set up for permanent direct-hire searches in the security sector. That means longer screens, real reference calls, SIA verification before shortlist, and the kind of operational push-back you only get from someone who has run the rota before.

Whether it is a single permanent CCTV operator or a regional security manager, the search is run with one named consultant, a tight shortlist, and follow-up that goes past the start date.
