Recruitment

FSI have a fully manned office in Kathmandu headed up by an ex British Army Gurkha Officer. FSI also have sub-offices in Dharan (East Nepal) and Pokhara (West Nepal) and Bhairawa. As well as having some 500 men on our books we have the ability to recruit large numbers of high quality ex Gurkhas through our Nepal offices and to deliver them fast and efficiently via various routes to wherever they are required.

FSI's unique infrastructure for the recruitment and vetting of ex-Gurkhas ensures that ONLY genuine Gurkhas are deployed on contracts.

FSI recruit the highest quality officers direct from the British Gurkhas, Indian Army Gurkhas and Singapore Police and offer them a long term career, ensuring continuity for the men as they complete one contract and are moved to another, (with any required interim training), and for the Client in the provision of a consistently high quality guard force.

 

FSI Guarantees for the Recruitment and Security Vetting of Gurkha Security Personnel

  • FSI guarantees that all Gurkhas are genuine ex-servicemen of the British Army or Indian Army with a minimum of 10 years experience. All Gurkha personnel are personally interviewed and recruited in Nepal by highly experienced, British ex-Gurkha Officers. It is essential that the recruiting is conducted by British officers rather than Nepalese ex-Gurkha officers as Nepali citizens are under immense pressure to bow to bribery and corruption.
  • Gurkhas employed by many of our competitors are forced to pay large amounts of money in order to secure their jobs and this has a significant impact on the men’s morale and thus performance. All men deploying to work on FSI’ contracts do so of their own free will and FSI ensures that all their costs are covered and no money is taken from the men at any stage of the recruitment or deployment process.
  • FSI ensures all Gurkhas provided are genuine ex-servicemen with exemplary records. We specifically ensure that personnel have not been convicted of any felony or misdemeanour involving moral circumstances during the five year period preceding the date of employment. We also check that personnel have not been declared by any court of competent jurisdiction incompetent by reason of mental defect.
  • Personnel are screened to ensure they are not suffering from habitual drunkenness or from narcotics addiction or dependence and are fully medically fit to perform as per the requirements of the work as laid down by the client.
  • The unique FSI recruitment process ensures that turnover on contracts is between 0% and 2%. This record is vastly superior to that of any other company as the average turnover on TCN contracts is between 20% and 60% per year
