Networking via the Argus Group

We pride ourselves on the fact that we have created and continue to grow an effective network amongst the Argus Group; this was never more apparent than quite recently when we had one of our graduates from way back, reach out and ask if we could help him bolster his Close Protection Team for a 3 day period for a task that was on-going in the North East. It was a pleasure to help him and facilitate something good for another Argus Group member.

This is how it should work, helping us, to help the Argus Grads, to help other Argus Grads get on in life. It grows the brand and helps develop trust and loyalty amongst the group. Seeing these adverts on our post course support group is good for everyone.

Recruiting – how does it work?

When recruiting from the Argus Group, many of our graduates ask us to reach out for them so that the advert does not just attract those that they already have relationships with or put off anyone that they do not have an existing relationship with. We will then filter down the applicants based on suitability and then send off the most suitable applicants to the person at the other end – because we maintain strong relationships with our students this is an effective way to ensure that the most appropriate people are selected for roles. We have good people coming through all of the time so it is fantastic to be able to connect our past and present students so that professional networks can be built upon.

Do we recruit from outsiders?

We do, but with understandable caution. Ideally, we need an Argus Grad to speak up on someone’s behalf and then arrange for a telephone conversation to ensure that we are as happy as we can be before providing someone that we do not have a long-term relationship with, with an opportunity. There is always a risk when providing people with an opportunity, even if you know them well, things can and do go wrong.
