Finding good cybersecurity people is hard. I've spent 15 years in recruitment, first in the UK and for the last decade in Australia, and I specialise in cybersecurity and GRC, filling permanent and contract roles Australia-wide and internationally.
I also spend every week talking with people building cybersecurity careers through my YouTube channel, newsletter and coaching, so I know what candidates are looking for, not just what's on their resume.
How I can help
- Recruitment across all of cybersecurity and GRC: permanent and contract roles, from security operations, engineering and architecture to penetration testing, governance, risk and compliance, and security leadership.
- Market and salary insight: what candidates expect, what the market is paying, and how to pitch your role so the right people apply.
- Role and process advice: realistic requirements, which certifications actually matter, and interview processes that don't lose good candidates to a faster competitor.
- Reach an engaged talent community: my audience includes people moving into cybersecurity from IT, the military, law enforcement and finance. A good fit if you're building a graduate, junior or entry-level pipeline.
Why work with me
- I talk to cybersecurity candidates every week, not only when a role opens.
- I know the difference between a junior who can do the job and one who has only collected certificates.
- You'll get straight answers about the market, even when they're not what you were hoping to hear.
