RED TEAM STAFFING
Red team staffing is among the hardest security hiring challenges — the talent pool is small, technical vetting is specialized, and candidates who look strong on paper may lack hands-on capability. CyberHeals red team recruitment sources offensive security specialists, applies rigorous technical assessment, and places practitioners who can deliver from day one.

LASTING SECURITY
From Capability Gap to In-House Red Team
10+
CyberHeals places red team specialists across 10+ countries for organizations building in-house teams.
CyberHeals red team recruitment covers penetration testers across web, mobile, infrastructure, and cloud; red team operators and exercise leads; exploit developers and vulnerability researchers; social engineering and physical security specialists; and offensive security team leads and management. Both permanent and contract placements are available across experience levels.
Technical vetting goes beyond CV review. CyberHeals assesses candidates using hands-on exercises aligned to the target role — structured pentesting scenarios, CTF-style technical challenges, and live assessments in controlled lab environments. We verify certifications, review published research or CVE credits, and reference-check against prior engagements.
A typical permanent placement takes four to six weeks from initial brief to accepted offer — briefing and role definition in week one, active sourcing in weeks two and three, shortlisting and technical vetting in week four, and final interviews and offer in weeks five and six. Timelines vary based on seniority and depth of technical assessment required.
Yes. CyberHeals provides contract and interim red team staffing for organizations that need capacity quickly — for a specific engagement, a maternity cover, or while a permanent hire process runs. Contract specialists are drawn from a vetted pool of active practitioners and can be deployed within days for urgent requirements.
Yes. Many organizations hiring their first red team specialist benefit from role design support before sourcing begins. CyberHeals helps define the capability profile, experience requirements, and seniority level based on your security maturity, existing team structure, and what you need the red team function to deliver.
Permanent placement fees are charged as a percentage of first-year base salary, confirmed at engagement start. Contract staffing uses a day rate or monthly retainer based on the specialist placed. We provide transparent pricing before any sourcing activity begins, with no fees until placement is confirmed. Volume discounts apply for multiple simultaneous roles.
