Cybersecurity Recruitment – Connecting Top Talent with Businesses in the North East
Cybersecurity is more critical than ever. With evolving digital threats and increasingly sophisticated attacks, businesses need skilled professionals to safeguard their systems, data, and customers. At NRG, we specialise in recruiting top-tier cybersecurity talent for organisations across the North East, ensuring they stay protected and resilient.
Expert Cybersecurity Recruitment
Our dedicated Tech recruitment team is deeply embedded in the cybersecurity industry, working closely with businesses, industry leaders, and professional cluster communities like CyberNorth. This gives us a unique understanding of the challenges businesses face in securing the right talent.
The majority of cybersecurity professionals may not be actively looking to move roles, but through our extensive networks, we identify and engage with passive talent. This allows us to connect professionals with the right opportunities at the right time in their careers. Unlike traditional recruitment, we do not rely solely on active candidates but tap into a wider talent ecosystem.
We recruit across a range of specialist roles, including:
Security Analysts, responsible for monitoring, detecting, and responding to cyber threats.
Penetration Testers (Ethical Hackers), identifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Security Architects, designing and implementing secure IT infrastructure.
Compliance and Risk Officers, ensuring adherence to cybersecurity regulations and frameworks.
Incident Response Managers, leading teams to contain and mitigate security breaches.
Whether you need contract specialists, permanent hires, or executive-level security leadership, we have access to the talent you need.
