All security personnel of Alexander International Security Affiliates in California are certified and registered with the State of California, Department Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). When a new applicant is interested in employment with ISA, the applicant must present an issued California security registration card. The California security registration is verified by confirmation from BSIS. This procedure ensures that the BSIS has completed a criminal background check on each new applicant/employee.

New applicants are required to prepare a standard ISA application, as well as other documentation. Candidates are advised to bring the following detailed information such as; a CA/SS identification for meeting Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) requirements for proof of employment eligibility (i.e., material for Form I-9), drug and substance form, educational diplomas, security certifications, and other documentation that will assist OPS in evaluating their application.

Once the application is completed, the Director of Operations reviews it. Upon completion of reference and background checks, only the most qualified applicants are scheduled for an interview. Questions including those dealing with convictions, employment history, or character references during the interview, the candidate's grooming, personal appearance, and verbal skills are evaluated.

In addition to evaluating the candidate with respect to rejection and acceptance criteria, the Director of Operations will evaluate such intrinsic factors as responsible actions, self-discipline, honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness. These factors will also be considered when evaluating those applicants who are finally accepted for employment with Alexander International Security Affiliates.
