Cyber & Intelligence Recruitment

Expert Recruitment for Cyber & Intelligence

In an era of increasing state level cyber threats and rapidly evolving information warfare, the ability to recruit, retain and develop skilled cyber and intelligence professionals is a matter of national security. Demand for talent across cyber security, signals intelligence, information assurance and related disciplines significantly outstrips supply, making specialist recruitment expertise more important than ever.

Our Cyber & Intelligence Recruitment

Certain Advantage recruits across the full range of cyber and intelligence disciplines for clients in the defence and security sector. We work with government agencies, prime contractors, defence technology businesses and national security organisations, placing professionals who combine deep technical capability with the highest levels of security vetting. Our consultants understand the sensitivity and complexity of hiring in this space, and are experienced in working confidentially and compliantly throughout the recruitment process.

As cyber threats grow in both sophistication and frequency, investment in cyber and intelligence capability is increasing across government and defence. Certain Advantage is well positioned to support clients in building the specialist teams required to meet these challenges, whether that means placing a single senior analyst or mobilising a whole new capability function.

I highly recommend Erin.

“Erin provided a strong shortlist for a recent senior-level role and was very hands-on in managing relationships with both us and the candidates. She was integral to the offer and negotiation process. Despite not having exclusivity on the role, we would never have known from the time and effort she dedicated to finding the right candidates. ”
