INSIGHTS FROM STALWART

Unlike other industries, background verification is an extremely important step while hiring security guards. Since they are entrusted with the safety and security of people, property, and assets, conducting thorough background checks help us to ensure that they are trustworthy individuals with a clean record, and thus prevent the risk of theft, misconduct, or other security breaches. At Stalwart, we ensure that all the candidates we hire go through rigorous background checks covering these key aspects.


Criminal History: We conduct a Criminal Court Record Check through a certified background verification agency, which reveals any criminal history, including convictions, pending charges, or arrests. Guards with a history of criminal activity may pose a significant risk to the safety and security of the premises they are supposed to protect, and background verification checks are the only way to avert it.


Verification of Identity: Aadhar verification prevents individuals with false credentials or stolen identities from being hired.


Address Verification: Before hiring, we not only confirm the applicant’s current address, but also verify their permanent address as it is a more robust form of confirming identity, whereby their details can be traced back to the original residence.


Previous Employment Check: For senior roles such as Security Officers, we also check references and details about their previous employment to ensure that they have the necessary training and expertise to handle various security situations effectively. This helps us to gauge a candidate's reputation, work ethic, and reliability.


Police Verification: In many industries, especially those involving government contracts or sensitive information, it is mandatory to obtain Police Clearance certificates for security personnel. At Stalwart, we have mandated the same for all our employees.


As a trusted partner in security services, we ensure that thorough background verification is carried out before our employees are hired. We believe that it is an essential component in protecting the safety and security of people, while maintaining the integrity of the security industry. 

     

When I look back at it, that successful interview with the Chairman for the role of Admin Executive brought in so much for a fresh MBA graduate that it set the premise for my growth as a professional. It was the year 2010 and I had just completed my post graduation with specialisation in Finance & HR. I started my journey at Stalwart on the 1st of November 2010 and today as I complete 13 years here, I have served in multiple roles, equipped myself to handle various scenarios, and currently serve as the Vice President at the Head Quarters. It has been a power-packed journey of growth and personal transformation.

 

How has working in this sector shaped your worldview?


I was not aware that an industry like this actually existed and that there was a field of business involving security services. A big part of my learning has been in understanding the significance of our work and why this service is extremely important for our society. We not only protect and safeguard our clients and their valuable assets but also pave the way for a society that is built on just and safe environments.


What does teamwork mean to you? 


“Together Changes Everything” is my mantra and it has enabled me to achieve a lot of things in my career. Working with a team has helped me enhance my knowledge while also providing me with different views that helped us to complete or achieve the task at hand in the most effective manner. I have always made it a point to be polite with my teammates while guiding them and answering their queries. I strongly believe that being supportive and approachable as a team lead is key to achieving a common goal. 

 

What is the most important learning from working with Stalwart?


Taking ownership or responsibility for one's actions is probably the single-most important learning that I have absorbed from my workspace. It has equipped me to come up with multiple solutions for an issue so that there is a Plan A, B, and C at any given moment. The dynamic nature of our industry forces us to handle a new problem every day and invites us to find innovative solutions. It has propelled me to learn new things and to move forward with a positive intent, while teaching me to handle these situations through analysis. Over the years, I have also understood that only if I am confident can I inspire confidence in our clients and my team. This changed the way I look at communication and its importance at work and personal life.

     

CUSTOMER SPEAK

“I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your outstanding performance in ensuring the safety and security of our premises. Last 20th August, your quick thinking, attentiveness, and unwavering dedication were instrumental in apprehending a suspect involved in a theft. The actions of your team members Mantu and Sagar were on point, and I wanted to take this moment to appreciate them.”
