Why us for Cybersecurity & Risk
Security roles are the ones a programme cannot fake its way through.
A security hire is unusual in that the cost of getting it wrong is not a slow delivery, it is an incident. The market knows this, which is why security CVs are the most credential-heavy and the least informative of any discipline we place. A certification says someone passed an exam. It does not say whether they have written a detection that fired on a real intrusion, or told a programme board that a go-live date was not safe.
We screen for the operating context rather than the badge. Whether an identity engineer has migrated a directory with privileged accounts still in it, whether a SOC analyst has worked a genuine incident to closure rather than triaged alerts, and whether a GRC consultant can hold a control conversation with an auditor and an engineering lead in the same room.
