• Must be at least 25 years of age
• Must be eligible to pass a security clearance
• Good ability to communicate in English, verbally and in writing
• Extensive experience from similar security-related work, such as military service, police tactical units or other security services with a tactical function.
• Approved close protection training (this may be completed after successfully passing Vesper Group's selection process)
• Good physical and tactical capabilities, including firearms skills and medical competence

The selection process consists of two main stages. The first stage is an initial interview, allowing us to get to know you and assess your suitability as a candidate. The second stage consists of a full day of firearms assessments, medical and physical tests, as well as more comprehensive in-depth interviews. In addition to the physical and tactical requirements, Vesper Group places great emphasis on personal suitability and sound judgement.

The physical requirements consist of completing the following exercises within a maximum of 32 minutes:

1. Lift and carry a 90 kg unconscious person for 200 metres.
2. Complete three rounds of:

• 15 pull-ups
• 200-metre run
• 25 hand-release burpees
• 200-metre run

Pull-ups and burpees may be divided into smaller sets, for example 3×5 pull-ups and 5×5 burpees.
However, all repetitions must be completed before proceeding to the next exercise.
