Recruitment Consultant – Cyber Security

InfoSec People | Cheltenham | Contract

Build Your Brand. Own Your Market. Become a Cyber Recruitment Specialist.

Cyber Security isn’t just booming - it’s one of the most recession‑resistant, fast‑growing, talent‑short sectors in the world. And you could be right at the centre of it.

Join InfoSec People, a respected boutique cyber & tech recruitment consultancy (now proudly part of Matchtech), and build a high‑performing cyber security recruitment desk with the backing of industry experts, an established brand, and a clear path for rapid career progression.

This is your chance to become a specialist cyber recruiter in a market where great recruiters thrive - because demand has never been higher.

The Opportunity:

As a Recruitment Consultant, you’ll take ownership of your own cyber security desk, developing deep knowledge of the cyber landscape and building long-term partnerships with security leaders, engineering talent, and high‑growth tech organisations.

You’ll recruit across the full spectrum of cyber roles, depending on your niche - including:

Cyber Security Analysts & Engineers

Penetration Testers & Red Team Specialists

GRC, Risk & Compliance

Cloud Security & DevSecOps

Security Architects & Security Consultants

This is a people-first, high-trust, specialist environment - not a numbers game. You’ll be trained to understand the cyber market, speak the language, and become a go‑to recruiter in one of the most exciting technical sectors globally.

What You’ll Do:

Manage the full 360 recruitment lifecycle across cyber security roles.

Build a strong network of cyber professionals, from entry-level to C‑Suite.

Partner with hiring managers and CISOs to understand deep technical needs.

Source and engage passive talent through headhunting, networking, and market insight.

Develop your desk through business development, relationship building, and delivering high‑quality matches.

Own your performance, pipeline, and personal brand within the cyber community.

What’s in it for you?

🚀 A Cyber Recruitment Desk with Real Momentum

You're not starting cold. Backed by InfoSec People’s respected brand and the reach of the Matchtech Group, you’ll have the traction, clients, and candidate flow to scale quickly.

🤝 SME Culture, Big‑Company Support

We’re still InfoSec People at heart - same leadership, same values, same boutique feel - now powered by a larger group with better tools, tech, and reach.

💼 Career Growth Without Limits

Cyber is growing - and so are we. Your progression is based on performance, not time served.

Our consultants have gone on to achieve life‑changing milestones such as buying their first homes, building new teams, and stepping into leadership roles.

💡 Real Training from Real Cyber Experts

We’ll teach you the cyber landscape, the terminology, and the market movements - so you can speak confidently and become a respected subject‑matter recruiter.

We’re Looking For:

Recruiters with 360 experience from either a cyber or tech background.

Cyber/tech sales professionals with sector knowledge who want to build a recruitment career.

Naturally curious people who enjoy understanding complex tech topics.

Driven, ambitious individuals who want to build a desk, not just work one.

Confident communicators who thrive in a relationship-led environment.

What We Offer:

A supportive, people-first culture with strong team identity.

Mentoring from experienced cyber recruitment specialists.

Flexible working options to support balance and wellbeing.

Market-leading tools, tech, and training.

Clear, achievable progression within a scaling brand.

Who We Are:

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

Penetration Tester Jobs in the UK: What Employers Actually Want in 2026

Penetration Tester Jobs UK 2026: the skills, certifications (OSCP, CREST, CEH) and experience UK employers actually want from ethical hackers this year.

As organisations across the UK continue to digitise their operations, protect sensitive data, and defend against increasingly sophisticated threats, the need for ethical hackers has grown dramatically. If you are considering a career in this field—or looking to advance within it—it is essential to understand what employers are really looking for in 2026. This guide breaks down the current expectations, required skills, certifications, and practical experience that can help you stand out in a competitive job market.
