Candidates

As the information security industry has matured, the employee selection process has fallen into a state of mismanagement where potential employees are being ghosted instead of interviewed. Great candidates are being passed over due to broken and inefficient hiring practices. We believe there is a better way. InfoSec Connect is committed to assisting candidates in their search for rewarding and life-changing careers, just as we are committed to our clients. Whether you need just a few quick tips and tricks for your job search, or you need to have a serious discussion about what is next for you and your career, we are here to help - free of charge.

Clients

Finding good security employees isn’t easy. As a hiring manager in security, you have a myriad of priorities constantly competing for your time and attention. It can be difficult to attract, train, and retain the employees that you need to safeguard your data and your clients’ data. In a hyper-competitive talent market, it’s even more difficult to find the highly specialized security candidates you need than in most industries. We know what it takes to attract the best employees in the industry. InfoSec Connect can help you define your employer brand and take it to market, then keep those exceptional employees happy and engaged long-term.

• InfoSec recruitment - Security recruitment is all we do and we do it well. We understand motivators for security candidates, common traits of successful security candidates, and know the common pitfalls when hiring security people including “mercenary syndrome.” InfoSec Connect serves as an extension of your employer brand, ensuring candidates see fully all of the reasons it’s great to work for you, decreasing your time-to-hire and increasing offer acceptance rates.

• Hiring process advisory - The information security industry, more than most, is sensitive to inefficiencies in hiring processes due to the degree to which employees are in-demand. If your hiring processes are inefficient, there is no question you are losing out on excellent candidates that would otherwise be a fit for your organization and more specifically, your group. We will help you identify inefficiencies and provide solutions to those inefficiencies to ensure you have the greatest chance of quickly and effectively onboarding the best new hires, from initial outreach to the employee’s first day.

• Employer branding support - The employers with the best employer brands attract the best employees, especially in a hyper-competitive talent market as in security. Effective employer branding is a collaboration between HR, recruitment teams, and sales. If you truly want to attract the most talented and committed employees, you need an exemplary employer brand. InfoSec Connect can help you define and evangelize for that brand.

• Employee retention advisory - Information security is an industry rife with turnover and attrition, simply as a function of how competitive the talent market is. An often overlooked but paramount priority should be retaining exceptional employees once you’ve gone through the hard work of getting them on-board. InfoSec Connect will advise on and help you implement retention strategies to ensure you’re not a statistic, keeping the extraordinarily high cost of turnover to a minimum.
