GPM officers are carefully selected through our aggressive recruitment program managed by the Human Resource Specialist. Global Protection Management employs several practical and successful strategies to support the optimal staffing needs of your site:

Use local media to advertise for qualified workers.
Use local government agencies to identify and attract applicants.
Attract current workers already employed at your facility.
Use temporary agencies to provide applicants.
