You have a background in agency recruitment, ideally within cyber security or closely related technology markets. You can demonstrate that you’ve personally won new employer accounts and developed those relationships.

You might be a principal consultant, billing manager or practice lead who has considered starting a business of your own.

You’ll need:

• A proven record of generating and closing new business.
• An understanding of how security hiring managers and internal recruitment teams buy and work.
• Strong discovery, communication and negotiation skills.
• The willingness to prospect and sell personally while building the foundations for a team.
• Sound judgement, follow-through and the ability to work through uncertainty.
• An interest in building a software business and learning how selling assessments differs from selling recruitment services.

Experience building a recruitment desk or developing other salespeople would be particularly valuable.

You don’t need to be a cyber security practitioner.

Ownership and Compensation

There is no salary available initially.

You would need sufficient personal financial runway to support yourself during the early stage. The opportunity is an equity partnership. The allocation, vesting schedule, responsibilities and any performance milestones will be agreed together and formally documented before we begin working together.

The intention is to introduce salary once the business can sustainably support it; there is no guaranteed start date.

This involves genuine startup risk, alongside the opportunity to help shape the business and share in the value we build.

Interested?

Send me a private message with a brief outline of:

• Your cybersecurity or technology recruitment experience.
• The new business you’ve personally won or a desk you’ve built.
• Why you want to become a co-founder.
• Your availability and whether an initial period without salary is feasible.

We’ll start with a confidential conversation to explore the fit on both sides.
