Find answers to common questions about using ByDuty Jobs.
For Guards
How do I register as a security guard?
Click the "Register as Guard" button on the homepage or navigate to the registration page. You will need to provide your personal information, license details, and work experience. Once submitted, your profile will be reviewed and activated within 24-48 hours.
Is it free to create a profile?
Yes, creating and maintaining a profile on ByDuty Jobs is completely free for security professionals. There are no hidden fees, subscription costs, or charges for being contacted by employers.
How does license verification work?
After you upload your license information, our team verifies it against state records. Verified licenses receive a green "Verified" badge on your profile, which helps you stand out to employers. Verification typically takes 3-5 business days.
How do employers contact me?
Employers can send you a contact request directly through the platform. You will receive a notification and can review the message, respond, or decline. Your personal contact information is never shared without your consent.
Can I set my own hourly rate?
Yes. You can set a minimum and maximum hourly rate range on your profile. This helps employers understand your rate expectations upfront. You can update your rates at any time from your dashboard.
How do I update my availability?
From your dashboard, you can set your weekly availability schedule by day of the week. You can also toggle your overall availability status to "Available" or "Unavailable" at any time.
For Employers
How do I search for security guards?
Visit the "Find Guards" page to browse all available security professionals. You can filter by state, license type (armed, unarmed, commissioned), availability, and search by name, city, or skill. Results show guards' credentials, experience, and availability at a glance.
What does it cost to use ByDuty Jobs?
Browsing guard profiles and using search filters is free. To contact guards directly, you need to register an employer account. Contact us for information about our employer plans and pricing.
How do I contact a guard?
Once you have registered and signed in as an employer, you can send a contact request from any guard's profile page. Include details about the position or assignment, and the guard will be notified to review and respond to your message.
How do I know if a guard's credentials are legitimate?
Look for the green "Verified" badge on guard profiles — this means their license has been verified against state records. You can also see their background check and drug test status, certifications, and employment history directly on their profile.
Can I save guards for later?
Yes. When you find guards that match your needs, you can save them to your favorites list from your employer dashboard. This makes it easy to build and manage your own talent pool for future assignments.
What if I need multiple guards?
You can contact as many guards as you need. Use the search filters to find professionals that match your specific requirements, then reach out to each one individually. For large-scale staffing needs, contact our support team for assistance.
