About Colleen Riccinto

Are you a hiring manager who’s sick and tired of reviewing resumes with the totally wrong skill set? And you’ve completely tapped out your network for your open reqs, too?Or as a job-seeker, you’re frustrated that other recruiters don’t get what you do and waste your time with jobs totally unrelated to your expertise?If so, I can help.Rookie recruiters might think an ARM is a part of the body and a side-channel attack is a punch to the ribs. I’ve got good news for you – I’m not a rookie.I started my business on the heels of the Jeep hack and fell in love with product security. Nearly a decade in, my strong suit is building relationships while tenaciously pursuing opportunities - helping security leaders build impenetrable teams with the right people – who themselves watch their careers and lives transform because they look forward to Monday mornings again. Ask me about my favorite stories – I’d love to tell you!(One involves driving a candidate through a snowstorm. Seriously.)There’s a method to putting the right people in the right place for success. As your recruiter, I’m relentlessly driven to create a win-win for hiring managers and candidates, and I don’t stop until I get the job done.I help hiring managers- Save gobs of time in the search and interview process- Grow their career and reputation by building teams with technically skilled, passionate people- Find people who will fit into their culture – that their team members and leadership will love.I help candidates- Connect with companies who value their skillset – and show it through competitive salaries, challenging projects, and autonomy- Find roles that challenge and inspire them to use their talents to their full potential- Love showing up to work every day with a role that supports their professional and personal goalsHow do I do it- I’ve made great use of the last decade and built a strong, close-knit network - I care about both candidates and clients on a personal level, and proved time and time again that caring is my biggest advantage- I know the ins and outs of the industry and always roll up my sleeves to help those who work with me never settle for mediocrity I’ve helped sales and engineering professionals at all levels dial into what’s important to them in their next hire or career move. I’m not here to waste time, and neither are you! Need the data to prove it? For every 1.07 candidates I send, 1 of them gets an interview. Let’s talk about your next hire or job and fast forward to the solution. c••••••@cybertalentsearch.com73••••••93
