Guards
I forgot my password.
Use the reset link on the sign-in page; a reset email arrives within a few minutes.
How do I get the verified badge?
Add the license with its number in your dashboard and press Verify. It works automatically for states with a public registry we can query (Florida today); other states show a manual registry link. See the verification page.
Who sees my profile?
Anyone, once you publish it. License numbers and documents are never shown. Unpublish any time in your dashboard.
Why didn’t I hear back on an application?
Companies mark applications contacted or not selected, and you get an email either way. Until they act, the status stays Submitted in your dashboard.
How do I earn a post badge?
Dashboard → Post fit → Earn it next to the badge (schools, hospitals, retail, corporate, residential, events, industrial, government). Ten scenario questions about that kind of post, about ten minutes, 80% to pass. It is scored on our servers and you see every answer, the reasoning, and the source afterwards. Free, and the badge stays on your profile.
I did not pass a badge assessment. Now what?
Read the review, each question shows the best response and the rule it comes from. You can retake that badge 24 hours after your attempt, with a fresh draw of questions. Failing never removes a badge you already hold.
What is the work-style profile, and who sees it?
Eighteen statements about how you like to work; there are no right answers and no pass or fail. It ranks which post types suit you and lifts matching jobs in your recommendations. Companies see a short summary only if you leave sharing on, and it is never used to block an application.
Security companies
How do I add a teammate?
Vendor portal → Team → invite by email. They accept from the email link with a free account using that address.
Where do staffing leads come from?
Clients submit requests on the Hire page. Requests for your state, or aimed directly at your company page, appear in your portal and your inbox.
Can I attach a test to a job?
Yes. Create an assessment bank, then pick it when posting; applicants receive it automatically and their score shows next to the application.
How do I require a post badge?
When posting a job, choose the post type (school, hospital, retail…) and tick "Require the badge to apply." Guards without it see a link to the free assessment instead of an Apply button, and the requirement is enforced in the database, not just the page. Applicants who hold it show a green badge in your applicant list; those missing one are flagged.
What is the work style I see on some applicants?
A self-reported profile the guard chose to share: their strongest work-style traits, the post types they fit, and how much public contact they prefer. Treat it as a conversation starter, not a score, it is never a screening result.
Clients
Is there a fee?
No. Requests are free and tessura takes nothing from any contract.
How fast do companies respond?
Companies are emailed the moment your request posts. Most reach out the same business day; you can also send a request directly to one company from its page.
What does the "kind of site" field on my request do?
It tells companies the post type, a school front desk and a warehouse gate need different people. Companies can then staff guards who hold tessura’s post badge for that environment, earned by passing a situational-judgment assessment on exactly that kind of work.
Your account and the community
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Me, scroll to the bottom, Delete account. On the web: sign in and open Dashboard, then Delete account at the bottom of the page. It is immediate and removes your profile, wallet, documents, posts, messages, applications, and sign-in. A company page you own alone is deleted with you; one you share passes to your teammates. If you cannot sign in, email privacy@tessurasecurity.com from the address on the account and we remove it within 7 days.
How are posts, comments, and company reviews moderated?
Company reviews are read by a person before they appear. Feed posts and comments appear right away and anyone can report one; reports go to a person, not an algorithm, and content that breaks the rules is removed. Repeat offenders lose posting. No one at tessura ranks or scores guards; moderation is about conduct, never about who gets hired.
