The security industry operates on tight deadlines and high expectations. A single staffing issue—whether due to an unexpected absence or a sudden surge in demand—can compromise the safety and satisfaction of clients. This is where Axis Defense Group steps in.
With a specialized focus on recruiting and staffing solutions, we’ve helped countless security companies navigate staffing challenges, maintain operational efficiency, and exceed their clients' expectations. Here are three real-life success stories that highlight how our approach has made a difference.
Concert Chaos: Emergency Staffing at Its Finest
One Friday evening, a security company overseeing a major concert at a 10,000-seat venue faced a staffing crisis. With less than 72 hours until the event, 15 guards scheduled for the event called out, leaving them significantly short-handed. The company risked not meeting the event organizer’s requirements and jeopardizing their contract.
How We Helped: Axis Defense Group’s Recruiting and Staffing Division quickly assessed the situation and activated our rapid-response team. By leveraging our extensive database of pre-screened and trained security professionals, we filled all 15 positions within 48 hours.
The Outcome: The concert proceeded without any security issues, and the client met their obligations flawlessly. Our swift action not only salvaged the event but also strengthened the security company’s relationship with the event organizer.
Expanding Footprint: Scaling for Retail Success
A security company landed a high-profile contract with a national retail chain, requiring immediate deployment of officers across 20 locations in multiple states. While this was a game-changing opportunity, the client lacked the resources to scale up quickly.
How We Helped: Axis Defense Group partnered closely with the client to develop a phased hiring strategy. By recruiting locally and training recruits to the client’s specifications, we provided over 50 security professionals within three weeks. Additionally, our team handled onboarding, compliance checks, and site-specific orientation to ensure a seamless start.
The Outcome: The client successfully launched the contract on time, impressing their retail partner and opening doors to future opportunities.
Retention Remedy: Tackling Turnover in Healthcare Security
A healthcare security firm approached us with a pressing issue: high turnover among their officers stationed in emergency departments. The stressful environment and demanding hours were taking a toll, leading to staffing shortages and increased recruitment costs.
How We Helped: We began by analyzing the unique challenges of the healthcare environment and worked with the client to refine their hiring criteria, ensuring they selected candidates better suited for high-pressure situations. Additionally, we introduced retention-focused initiatives such as professional development programs, improved scheduling flexibility, and wellness resources for their staff.
The Outcome: Within six months, the client experienced a 30% reduction in turnover and saw noticeable improvements in employee satisfaction. The more stable workforce resulted in better service delivery and reduced hiring expenses.
