CISO Executive Search – Chief Information Security Officer Recruiters
Sourcing And Placing The Best CISO Candidates
Chief Information Security Officer Recruitment
Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) play a vast and significant role in ensuring the safety of a company’s digital security operations in the face of exponential increases in cyber threats. With an expansion of remote working and the integration of AI and cloud computing into business operations, it is now more critical than ever for companies to place talented information security professionals at the helm.
As a leading executive search firm, Keller bridges that gap, assisting clients source, hire, and retain top information security talents for leadership roles.
Our Approach to Recruiting Chief Information Security Officers (CISO)
At Keller, we work to understand and help clients fulfill their business goals and needs. Prior to performing our search, we meet with our client’s HR departments and stakeholders to establish what gaps the company wants to fill and what they expect from candidates.
When we have the necessary insight to create a profile of the ideal candidate, we begin sourcing and assessing all qualified talents to find the best fit. Keller headhunters then assess candidates for their track record, skills, and other more intricate factors such as personality, work ethics, motivational drivers, and cultural alignment.
Part of what makes our executive search services successful is our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We treat all candidates fairly and without bias concerning their age, belief, ethnicity, and gender. This helps us create a large and diverse pool of talents, all of whom are qualified to lead.
