What Moves the Price

  • Shift type: night shifts and rotating schedules sometimes carry a premium over standard day shifts
  • Prior security experience: genuine prior postings, not just general willingness, are worth paying for
  • Property complexity: a larger property or one with multiple access points is a fuller job than a single gate
  • Number of guards needed: 24-hour coverage typically requires more than one guard rather than one person working unsustainable hours

What's Included in the Role

  • Gate control and visitor screening
