Security News > 2020 > March > Should you hire a specialized cybersecurity recruiter?

Finding skilled cybersecurity professionals to fill organizations' increasing needs is becoming more difficult by the day due to the wide cybersecurity workforce skills gap.

Steve Velasco, a senior cybersecurity recruiter at NinjaJobs, a community of information technology veterans devoted to helping companies find vetted, experienced cybersecurity professionals, says that while there certainly seems to be shortage in cyber talent, that shortage is usually tied to geography - and especially so when it comes to incident response, DevSecOps, threat intelligence and penetration testing.

Ricki Burke, Director at CyberSec People, a specialized recruitment outfit based in Melbourne, Australia, says that organizations often have trouble finding viable candidates for cybersecurity positions because they can be too narrow in their search.

Using a cybersecurity recruiter to fill a cybersecurity position comes with many advantages.

Many of those who think about using a cybersecurity recruiter to find them a job believe that recruiters can make it work even if the position is not a good match for them.
