Permanent Recruitment
We help you build a permanent team you own. Every search is led by practitioners who have held the roles they are hiring for, so you get a short list of people who can genuinely do the job — and stay.
- Role and team design around your operating model
- Targeted, network-led search rather than CV volume
- Practitioner-led technical and culture assessment
- Offer management, onboarding and retention support
How we do it
We build permanent teams the way we build security programmes — starting with the outcome you need, not a stack of CVs. Every search is run by practitioners who have held the roles they are hiring for.
- 1
Understand the outcome
We start with the business case: what the team must deliver, how success will be measured, and where the current gaps sit. That gives us a role definition your stakeholders already agree on.
- 2
Design the team, not just the role
We map the shape of the team around your operating model — the balance of leadership, delivery and specialist skills — so each hire adds capability rather than duplicating it.
- 3
Targeted search
We approach a known network of security, data and AI practitioners directly, backed by targeted market mapping. You see a short, relevant list rather than volume.
- 4
Practitioner-led assessment
Candidates are technically assessed by people who have done the job, with structured competency and culture interviews, references and right-to-work checks completed before offer.
- 5
Offer, onboarding and retention
We manage the offer process, notice periods and counter-offer risk, then stay involved through onboarding so the hire is productive quickly and stays.
The result is a permanent team you own — protecting the investment you have already made in tooling, programmes and change.
