Sector: Cyber Security
Location: Switzerland/Italy
Our client, a global cyber‑security leader, needed to hire a highly specialised skillset combining deep technical expertise, strong team‑leadership experience, and fluency in Italian, all while being based in a specific Central European location. With such a rare profile and a very limited global talent pool, the challenge required a detailed, research‑led search approach.
We conducted an in‑depth, collaborative global search, working closely with the client to continually refine the brief through ongoing feedback and real‑time market insight. This approach enabled us to identify and engage a targeted pool of senior‑level candidates who met the full range of technical, leadership, linguistic, and cultural requirements. From this process, we delivered a high‑quality, well‑aligned shortlist for final consideration.
The client successfully appointed a candidate directly from our shortlist, securing the critical hire with confidence. By using our tailored search approach in place of a traditional agency model, the client achieved cost savings, while benefiting from a rigorous, consultative, and globally informed search process. If you’d like, I can also tailor this to sound more commercial, more executive‑search‑led, or shorter for web use.
