The Challenge
As a cybersecurity GRC platform, Cywift faced unique recruitment challenges in finding candidates with specialised compliance and cloud security expertise. The company needed professionals skilled in frameworks like ISO27001, SOC2, and regional standards such as Saudi NCA and UAE IA. Coordinating hiring across UK and US offices whilst competing with larger cybersecurity firms for niche talent proved difficult. Additionally, accurately assessing technical knowledge of GRC frameworks before interviews was time-consuming and inconsistent.
