Working through unprecedented challenges, we helped CVE secure a specialist senior hire with the rare expertise needed to maintain their critical cybersecurity standards.
CVE
Elite Cybersecurity Talent
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) partnered with Propel to secure a highly specialised senior professional for their cybersecurity team. The search required identifying a candidate with an exceptionally specific skill set who could thrive in a niche environment, all during the challenging circumstances of the 2020 pandemic.
The Challenge
CVE required an individual with an extremely specific skill set to support their mission of identifying and cataloguing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The role demanded exceptional technical capabilities combined with the ability to work effectively in a specialised environment. The onset of COVID-19 in spring 2020 added further complexity to an already demanding search.
The Solution
We implemented a highly focused search strategy, working in close partnership with CVE throughout the process. As requirements evolved, we adapted our approach, maintaining constant communication to refine the search parameters. Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, we conducted thorough qualifications and detailed interviews to ensure candidates met CVE's exacting standards.
The Results
Our meticulous approach resulted in the successful placement of an exceptional candidate who exceeded CVE's high expectations. The individual quickly demonstrated their value, validating our thorough search and selection process. This placement showcased our ability to deliver specialist talent even under challenging circumstances, leading to a highly satisfied client and a successful hire.
