Register with us
We represent officers, supervisors and managers across close protection, residential security, construction and infrastructure sites, corporate premises and control rooms.
Hornsman Group is an employment agency. We are instructed by employers to fill permanent positions, and we introduce suitable candidates to them. The employer engages you directly, on their own terms and on their own payroll, and the employer pays our fee.
We are for experienced people who do not have the time, the contacts or the inclination to spend their evenings working through job boards. We approach employers on your behalf and put your name in front of the person who actually makes the decision, rather than adding your details to a queue.
We do not advertise positions we have not been instructed to fill, and we will not put you forward for a role without your agreement on each occasion.
You are never charged a fee
No work seeker is charged a fee of any kind, at any stage, for finding or seeking to find them work. This is not a matter of our policy but of law: section 6(1)(a) of the Employment Agencies Act 1973 prohibits it.
If any agency asks you to pay in order to register, to be introduced, to be placed, or to undertake training as a condition of an introduction, you should decline and report it to the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate.
Where a criminal record check is required for a role, the cost is met by the employer. It is never passed to you.
Documents we will need
Screening for security positions is conducted to BS 7858:2019. Before we are able to put you forward, we will need the following.
- Photographic identification
- Evidence of your right to work in the United Kingdom
- A continuous five-year employment and activity history
- Your SIA licence number, where the role involves licensable activity
- Two referees able to speak to your recent employment
A gap in your history is not a disqualification. An unexplained gap is. If there is a period you would rather account for in conversation than in writing, say so and we will take it from there.
Your data
stays with us
Your records are held on systems under our own control within the United Kingdom. They are not kept on shared cloud recruitment platforms, they are not sold, and they are not circulated to other agencies or to job boards.
Your details are passed to a prospective employer only with your agreement, on each occasion, and only to the extent that employer requires in order to reach a hiring decision. We do not forward your screening file.
Every decision concerning your candidacy is made by a person. Nothing about your application is determined automatically.
You may ask at any time what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be erased, and we will tell you plainly what we are able to do and what we are required to retain.
