The corporate security recruitment landscape of today looks quite different from that of 10 years ago. Technological advancements that benefit hiring companies and candidates alike have grown and their effect on recruitment has been noticed. It is interesting to evaluate how some recruitment practices have evolved to meet these challenges. Some of these shifts have been beneficial while others have created an impersonal, transactional environment.

Recruitment companies of all sizes around the globe adapt in diverse ways to the changing face of talent acquisition. Some of those firms that pre-dated the explosion of data/cybersecurity have either been sold, diversified into other recruitment sectors, or branched into unrelated businesses such as meetings or themed conferences to augment revenue.
