PASSCOR believes that safety means soaring to the limits of the critical mind. There is simply no room for error in the fast pace of airport operations. Towards this vision of providing first rate security to the traveler, airlines, and all clientele of the airport, PASSCOR puts importance in the quality of personnel deployed to perform security functions.
QUALITY SERVICE starts with recruitment. PASSCOR has initiated a rigid process in hiring and recruiting aviation security specialists. Those who were pre-qualified to undergo IQ tests, drug test and neuropsychiatric clearance were further tested for physical fitness in a battery of tests equivalent to those required for recruits to the Philippine Military Service. Each candidate was then interviewed and rated to determine whether they were fit for training.
The main sources for recruitment are colleges, the military and respondents to radio and newspaper ads.
Non-traditional methods of recruitment are also being explored to allow a broad case of selection.
Background checking of applicants is a vital step in the recruitment process. Verification of references, previous employment and interviews with neighbors provides the necessary information for acceptance of an applicant.
Recruitment standards for management and supervisory levels are highly competitive and selective. Career planning for aviation specialists towards greater levels of responsibility is part of the human resource system of PASSCOR to encourage the best to stay in the organization.
