Security Staffing in Troy, explained.
The security staffing market in Troy
Troy is a market of about 50,000 people where finance and healthcare employers hire steadily. The people we place come from Troy and the towns around it, including Greenway and Highlands.
Employers here compete on pay and on how fast they move, so a slow hiring process loses good people. We keep a screened bench warm so we are not starting from zero when you call.
For pay, the New York minimum wage is $16.50, and we build rates that meet or beat what local employers actually pay to keep their teams. Source: U.S. Department of Labor.
How hiring works in Troy
Every security staffing placement in Troy starts the same way. We write down the real job: the tasks, the shift, the must-haves, and the pay range.
Then we pull from candidates we already know and screen them for work history, reliability, and the right credentials before you ever see a name. You interview the people you like, and we handle the offer, the paperwork, and onboarding.
Temporary, temp to hire, or direct hire
You can bring people on three ways in Troy. Temporary covers short term, seasonal, and surge needs, and we run payroll, taxes, and workers compensation while they are on assignment.
Temp to hire lets you try someone on the job before you commit, then convert them to your payroll. Direct hire adds them to your team from day one.
Most Troy employers use a mix across the year, and we help you pick the option that fits each role and your budget.
Roles, shifts, and what we screen for

We cover day, swing, and overnight posts, plus weekend and event coverage. The requirements that matter most are state guard card / license, armed permit where required, and CPR and first aid.
Every candidate is checked for right to work, work history, and references before they start, so the person who shows up can actually do the job.
