ASP Security and it’s Talent Hunt!
By Fatema Pipalyawala, Assistant Manager, Talent Acquisition
O ntario’s security industry—from private firms to public police services—has begun to make meaningful headway toward workforce diversity. Yet meaningful inclusion demands ongoing commitment: transparent metrics, leadership accountability, and intentional culture building. By combining legislative frameworks with best practices and local demographic insight, ASP Security is building a ecosystem that both reflects and serves its diverse communities.
This calls for the following methods, which are being implemented by Talent Acquisition team of ASP Security:
1. Specialized Security
Exploring how industry-specific roles (airport, healthcare, critical infrastructure, etc.) need guards with precise skills or certifications (e.g., tactical training, high-security clearance, K9 handling, etc.).
2. Value Veteran Security Professionals
The type of backgrounds we are seeking (law enforcement, military, corrections, etc.) and how their experience elevates security operations.
3. Why Choose Us? Opportunities for Growth in Security Careers
We value talent and performance and pursue for internal promotions.
Well detailed inhouse and on-site trainings for you to excel!
Opportunities within multiple divisions of ASP for you to explore and grow.
4. Women in Security
The security industry has long been perceived as male- dominated—but that narrative is changing. Across Canada, women are stepping into roles in frontline security, surveillance, operations, and leadership with skill, confidence, and resilience. As organizations strive to build more inclusive teams, hiring and empowering women in security is not just progressive—it’s essential.
At the heart of this movement is a growing realization: diversity in the security workforce enhances safety, empathy, and professionalism. From corporate towers to event venues and critical infrastructure sites, women bring unique perspectives and strengths to roles that demand emotional intelligence, attention to detail, and rapid decision- making.
WHY Diversity Matters in Security!
Improved Community Engagement
Clients and the public are more likely to trust and respect security professionals who reflect the diversity of their communitees.
More Effective Communication
Culturally aware teams are better equipped to de- escalate tensions, interpret social cues, and avoid misunderstandings.
Higher Innovation and Morale
Diverse teams encourage fresh thinking and bring different problem-solving approaches—leading to stronger team morale and engagement.
Compliance and Reputation
Organizations with inclusive hiring practices are more likely to meet government standards and build strong reputations in competitive markets.
