Growing your internal security team? Code Red is here to help.

BUILD YOUR SECURITY TEAM

SECURITY PROGRAMS ARE ONLY AS SUCCESSFUL AS THE TEAMS THAT DRIVE THEM.

Building a successful security team is challenging, especially in the competitive talent markets. Cybersecurity has consistently been one of the most difficult skill-sets to recruit. Demand for high-quality security talent will only continue to rise.

In most cases traditional recruiting methods, such as advertising roles on your company website or via LinkedIn are just not working. Relying solely on an internal recruiting team is also a major challenge, as internal recruiters are often already stretched with a multitude of open job roles in different areas across the business.

We specialize in headhunting security talent. It’s all we do, all day, every day.

OUR DIRECT PLACEMENT/ SEARCH PROCESS

With a combined 30+ years of security recruiting experience, we have developed a tailored approach that works specifically for this niche market.

UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS

We understand that no two security hires are the same. In our experience, the title Security Engineer can be 17 different things, ranging from a cloud security expert with Kubernetes experience to an application security specialist with a software dev background. We take our time to fully understand your hiring needs before we begin a search, ensuring that we don’t waste your time speaking to candidates that aren’t a precise fit.

HEADHUNT THE PERFECT FIT

Once we’re aligned on your requirements, we kick into gear with our expert headhunting approach. This includes using a wide range of talent mapping software to identify the right companies and industries from which we’ll headhunt to ensure the best fit possible. We take a blended approach of mass engagement of our extensive database, combined with utilizing a highly personalized, high-touch referral approach from our network of senior security insiders to find you the perfect candidate.

CLOSE, ONBOARD AND ONGOING SUPPORT

We don’t just stop at sending you a resume. The Code Red team will guide you through the entire recruiting process. We support you at every step, from extending an offer, closing the candidate, to staying in touch with them for their first 6 months to ensure they are onboarded successfully. We aren’t here to make a quick buck and move on. Our reputation means everything to us and the long-term success of the hires we make and the teams we build is what drives our success as a business.
