NBFAA, CSAA Launch Security Industry Recruiting Center

One of the greatest challenges facing the security industry today is the shortage of qualified labor. While there may be many people seeking fulfilling jobs, a great majority of these potential employees are unaware of what the security industry has to offer and that, for some, security training is a viable alternative to a four-year degree, earning some security professionals as much as, or more than, many college graduates.

For this reason, the National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) and the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) have joined forces to launch the Security Industry Recruiting Center, providing an online source for matching qualified job seekers with security industry employers.

Designed to be simple and cost-effective, the recruiting center will allow employers in the industry to post available career opportunities, as well as review resumes posted by new industry recruits.

“Both associations were going down the path of creating a job board for the industry, and it just made sense to join forces. This alignment will allow us to have an even greater impact than we might have had on our own. Together, we’ll have the opportunity to attract a very comprehensive listing of potential employees and employers,” said Bud Wulforst, CSAA president.

“The security industry is rapidly changing and needs employees who are interested in being a part of this new, high-tech world. We’re excited to offer this online resource to men and women seeking employment in the security industry. We encourage employers looking for individuals specifically interested in a career in this industry to post their open positions on our board. It has all the functionality of services like CareerBuilder.com or Monster.com but is priced at a fraction of the cost,” said NBFAA president Mike Miller.

    I have been looking forward to this year’s GSX show in New Orleans, the Cresent City, or if you prefer The Big Easy. It seems like quite a while since we’ve been here. Twenty years ago, ASIS, as it was known then was literally washed out of the city by someone known as Katrina. It is a good thing to come back to NOLA. Read Now

  • From Monitors to Mission Control

    Security Operations Centers (SOC) were once defined by rows of static monitors, each displaying a single feed with operators quietly watching for issues. That model has become obsolete. Incidents evolve too quickly, data comes from multiple locations, and decisions must be made in seconds—not minutes. Read Now
