• Proven success hiring for niche, hard-to-fill positions using advanced sourcing tools, market research, and tailored outreach strategies to attract passive candidates in threat intelligence.
• Expertise in recruiting metrics and analytics, including the ability to analyze conversion rates, sourcing effectiveness, and pipeline data to inform hiring strategies and advise stakeholders.
• Adaptability and resilience to quickly learn about new, highly technical roles and excel in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift rapidly.
