For Employers
We test the brief against the market, then assess candidates against the role, environment and result the appointment must deliver.
Cyber Security Recruitment
Cyber security recruitment starts with defining the risk the role must manage.
Security operations, governance, risk and compliance roles require different experience and judgement. We establish the environment, responsibilities and practical outcomes before approaching or assessing candidates.
Sector overview
Cyber security is not one interchangeable discipline.
A SOC Analyst, GRC specialist and Information Security Manager solve different problems. The brief must distinguish operational monitoring, technical response, governance, assurance and stakeholder responsibility.
Employers and candidates
Clear expectations improve both sides of the process.
The search works better when the employer and candidate both understand the work, the practical requirements and the reason for the move.
