Industries we recruit for

The discipline tells you what someone does. The industry tells you what will get them rejected. A strong cloud engineer from a product company can fail a bank panel on evidence and change control, and an excellent bank hire can stall in a startup that ships weekly. These pages set out those differences.

Sectors we work in

Financial services & bankingLarge, scrutinised security functions with long vetting chains and second-line risk oversight.

InsuranceRegulated but leanly resourced. Breadth of scope is the defining feature of most hires.

MSSPs, vendors & consultanciesBillable and quota-carrying roles where client-facing credibility decides the placement.

Mining, energy & utilitiesIndustrial estates where availability and safety come first, and travel is not optional.

Retail & e-commerceSmall teams, large estates, and controls measured against conversion and trading freezes.

HealthcareClinical availability constraints and legacy that is structural rather than accidental.

TelecomsCarrier-scale networks where the strongest candidates often come from network engineering.

Fintech & SaaSSecurity as part of the product and part of the sales process, usually on a lean team.

Why sector context changes the search

Three things vary more by industry than by discipline. The first is process: vetting, approval chains and notice periods differ enormously, and a six-week approval gate loses candidates that a two-week one keeps. The second is what the interview panel actually assesses — control evidence in regulated sectors, pace and pragmatism in product companies, plant credibility in industrial ones.

The third is who you are competing with. A retailer hiring a cloud security engineer is bidding against fintech and against offshore remote employers, not against other retailers. We would rather establish that at the briefing than explain it in week six.

If your sector is not listed

We still take the brief. Government, legal, professional services, education and logistics all appear in our work; they do not have pages yet because we would rather write a page when we have something specific to say about hiring in them.
