Job Placement · Cybersecurity

An unfilled security seat is an open door.

There are not enough qualified security professionals to go around, and the ones who exist are employed, cleared, and recruited daily. We place security engineers, architects, SOC analysts, and CISOs in 23-35 days at roughly 50% less than contingency firms.

The Real Cost of a Slow Search

What does that open role actually cost your organization?

4 million+
Unfilled cybersecurity roles worldwide
The global talent gap keeps widening while attack volume climbs. The strongest candidates are passive, and reaching them takes proactive, targeted sourcing.
$15,000+
Per month of exposure on an open security seat
An unfilled security role is not just absorbed payroll. It is gaps in coverage, delayed audits, and risk that compounds the longer the seat stays empty.
2-3 weeks
Window before a strong candidate accepts elsewhere
Qualified security engineers field multiple offers at once. A slow, post-and-wait process loses them every time.

How It Works

From open role to placed hire in three steps

01
Discovery call

We learn your organization, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.

02
Active sourcing

We go direct to passive candidates - professionals who are not on job boards but are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is where most searches fail.

03
Shortlist review

You receive 3-5 pre-screened candidates. No stacks of resumes. No wasted interviews. You meet candidates who have already been qualified against your specific criteria.

What You Get

Three things every organization wants - and most placement firms do not offer

Bonus 01No contingency fees. Ever.

Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."

Milestone-based pricing replaces the standard 20-25% contingency fee, and total cost is roughly 50% less. For a $160,000 security architect placement, that difference is $16,000-$24,000 kept in your budget versus a contingency arrangement.

Bonus 0245-day replacement guarantee at no charge.

Common objection: "What if the placement doesn't work out?"

If the hire does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. Our guarantee is longer than most contingency firms and is built into every engagement.

Bonus 03A curated shortlist. Not a resume stack.

Common objection: "We have used recruiters before and wasted time on bad candidates."

You will not sort through 20 resumes hoping one sticks. Your dedicated search specialist builds a shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been screened against your specific criteria. You only meet people who are genuinely qualified. The first interview is a real conversation, not a screening exercise.

The Math on Waiting

Every week that role stays open is a decision you are making.

An open security role is risk you are carrying in real time. Alerts go uninvestigated, audit and compliance deadlines slip, and the work piles onto an already-stretched team that starts eyeing the exit. A security engineer seat open for 90 days can mean missed audit windows, deferred remediation, and roughly $45,000 in absorbed risk and overhead before the search ends.

The Talent Window

The best candidates are only available for a few weeks.

The best security professionals are employed, performing, and contacted by recruiters constantly. When one opens up to a move, the decision window is two to three weeks, and the offer usually comes from whoever reached them first. A posting-and-waiting search misses that person every time.

No commitment. We will tell you exactly what we can do for your search and what it costs.

FAQ

Common questions

What roles do you place?

CISOs, security engineers, security architects, SOC analysts, GRC analysts, and other information-security and risk roles across regulated and high-growth environments.

How is this different from a staffing agency?

We are not a staffing agency. This is direct permanent placement with milestone-based pricing. You hire the candidate directly. We are not placing temps or contractors.

How does milestone-based pricing work?

Payments are tied to defined milestones in the search process rather than a lump-sum contingency fee at the end. Total cost is roughly 50% less than a standard contingency arrangement. Exact structure is covered on your discovery call.

What does the 45-day guarantee cover?

If the placed candidate does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge.

How quickly can you start a search?

Typically within one week of your discovery call. We begin active sourcing immediately after alignment on the role profile and compensation range.
