What drives us

We build lasting partnerships through deep industry understanding and consultative recruiting. These core values guide everything we do:
1.

Finding the Right Fit

We look beyond job titles to match exceptional talent with organizations based on skills, culture, and potential. Our goal is finding the best person, not just the best applicant.

2.

Informed Partnerships

Success comes from asking the right questions. We gather and share meaningful insights to create perfect matches between companies and candidates.

3.

Community Leadership

We're active members of the cybersecurity community, bringing integrity and expertise to every partnership. Our relationships are built on trust, knowledge sharing, and mutual success.

What our partners say

I've been involved with a few rapidly growing tech startups which means I've often been looking for hard-to-find candidates. I go to Ricki and CyberSec People when we need a partner who can really get into the details on what we need and why.

CyberSec People have been a wonderful talent partner to Canva. We approached Ricki based on a recommendation to help build out our Security Engineering team. Although we interviewed a handful of other security talent providers to compare - it wasn't even close.

CyberSec People understand it is about cultural fit, not just about how much people are getting paid. We never see our positions spammed across Seek or LinkedIn, so we know that there is actual recruiting going on; not just a resume collection service.

The whole end to end experience i.e., starting from our introductory meeting with them taking the time to understand the organisation, growth path we are on, security roadmap, budget as well as my team’s requirements was something I have never experienced.
