Hiring Tools & Templates

Recruiters who hire cybersecurity leaders need structured, repeatable, evidence‑based tools — not just intuition and a CV. The best hiring processes for CISOs, security managers, and cyber leaders use a toolkit that blends qualitative and quantitative assessment.

I provide and design my own tools like:

• competency‑based scorecards
• behavioral interview guides
• scenario‑based assessments
• tabletop exercises
• leadership style assessments
• technical literacy check (conversational, not hands-on)
• candidate's work portfolio
• communication with executives
• culture and values alignment
• type of cybersecurity leadership (or potential for)
• red flag items (signs to watch for)

Where applicable these are implemented either as spreadsheet documens or an online application.
