Recruitment & Retention

A Tradition of Excellence Since 1949

"The transition from the prior contractor to SFI was exceptionally flawless - I handed them the keys and never thought about it again, and for 2,000 hours per week, that says something. Every executive of the company is reachable personally and our issues are their issues. The relationship between the property owner and SFI is transparent; they are not only an extension of our company, but proactively understand the owner's goals and objectives as if they owned the property themselves."

SFI NetScreen: SFI NetScreen is our software-based screening profile system, created internally to identify the top 20 percent of those looking for opportunity as a security professional. NetScreen has assisted our managers in accurately identifying high performing, productive, and client service-oriented individuals, with a strong work ethic – resulting in a consistently demonstrated increase in retention and reliability, and a decrease in costs associated with employee turnover.

Benchmarked with The Ritz Carlton, SFI NetScreen allows us to recruit and process applications twenty-four hours a day while remaining focused on our business of supporting the needs of our our clients and employees. More importantly, it allows us insight into character traits such as job stability, trustworthiness, conscientiousness, safety and emotional maturity so we can screen and hand select the very best personnel for all of our client locations..
