How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Montague Gardens; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
