Description
After the recent terror attacks in Paris, the security threat level has been increased to level 3 in Belgium (serious, possible and probable) and even to the highest level 4 (serious and imminent) in Brussels. In this context, security companies are requested to provide extra services. Seris Security has announced the recruitment of 100 new employees.
Two other well-known security companies, Securitas and G4S, have also announced the creation of new security jobs. It is estimated that the current security alert will create some 650 extra jobs. Securitas is expecting the higher demand for extra security services to persist.
