Field CISOs

Recruit faster, better and never compromise on talent

Man and Woman Sitting Beside Table

THE BEST FIELD CISO’S NOT ONLY LEVERAGE EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CISO’S AT THE LARGEST COMPANIES; THEY POSSESS A STRONG REPUTATION IN THE COMMUNITY.

They’re able to challenge the CISO’s security strategy in open discussion, providing both strategic and technical insight to add value to the customer whilst securing the account and unlocking additional opportunity.

Recruiting a Field CISO out of a client side CISO role can be a challenge and the key is effective communication. For example, the sales element of the position can be easily misinterpreted. Professionalism, transparency and courtesy are all essential, given their position as key decision makers and influencers to buyers of your solution. An experienced talent partner such as Recognition One help to navigate this smoothly.

At interview stage, it’s recommended to focus on will in equal measure to skill and experience as an expensive hire such as this needs to be a stable one. It’s important to explore the strength of their relationships with other key CISO’s and their level of awareness of their unique challenges.

Urgency & Due Diligence

It has been delightful to work with Jay and Team over the last two years. Jay takes the time to understand the wider strategy of the business and structure of the organisation alongside the technicalities of the requirements of the candidate we are looking for to fill my roles. To this end he has placed some strong candidates in my organisation to fill Cyber Security technical sales roles in Europe and Asia Pacific. They have a great level of customer service, and always have a sense of urgency and due diligence in their talent finding effort which is refreshing.

Recognition One’s expertise and keen dedication were evident from day one. They quickly provided qualified candidates during a period which our company needed to quickly ramp up our sales team. They also helped recruit account executives and sales engineers in both the US and Europe. Their professionalism and ability to understand our company culture helped us identify high-quality candidates who fit with our team. I highly recommend their services to any company seeking top talent.
