I've had multiple people come up to me saying they've applied to Paladin but never heard a word back. In my personal experience I had to call the Paladin office to get an interview. I know people that have no business being in security that get hired by Paladin simply because they need the numbers/bodies.

I had applied maybe a week before I got a call, I did a simple phone interview (Availability and previous experience) and then was asked to come for a face to face interview the same day. I went to the office and completed a simple English proficiency worksheet and a mock incident report and then proceeded with the face to face with the branch manager. It was fairly simple again asking about my previous experience (None in security I might add) when I would be available to start or if there would be any issues obtaining a clean criminal record. The branch manager said he thought I was perfect for the position and offered me the position.
