About SOCO Talent
Supporting Modern Security Teams Through Specialist Cybersecurity Search
SOCO Talent is a boutique cybersecurity recruitment and leadership search partner supporting startups, scaleups and transformation-led organisations across Europe, Israel and the USA.
We specialise in hiring across Security Engineering, Cloud Security, DevSecOps, Security Architecture, SOC and Cybersecurity Leadership functions.
Modern security hiring has become increasingly competitive. High-demand technical talent is harder to engage, interview processes are under greater scrutiny and internal hiring teams are often stretched across multiple priorities.
As a boutique search partner, we intentionally limit the number of active searches we work on at any one time. This allows every engagement to receive focused attention, senior-level execution and a high-quality candidate experience.
” Our approach combines deep technical sourcing capability, proactive market engagement and consultative search delivery to help organisations secure high-impact talent in highly competitive markets.“
Sophie Cowan, Founder
We use a structured search approach to map specialist talent markets and identify professionals aligned to your technical, commercial and team requirements.
Every candidate is proactively engaged, carefully qualified and technically calibrated prior to introduction.
This allows clients to move forward with confidence, knowing shortlists have been built around capability, alignment and long-term fit.
How We Support Employers
We help organisations build high-performing cybersecurity and engineering teams by combining specialist market knowledge with focused search delivery.
“Strong hiring outcomes come from understanding more than job descriptions. We take time to understand your technical environment, organisational context, immediate priorities and long-term growth plans before taking your opportunity to market.
Our process is designed to deliver high-quality, well-aligned shortlists while maintaining a strong candidate experience throughout.”
Whether you are hiring permanent Security Engineering talent or scaling cloud-native security capability through contract and project-based hires, we provide a focused, transparent and consultative search process designed to reduce hiring friction and improve outcomes.
How We Support Candidates
We believe strong recruitment partnerships start with understanding what genuinely matters to people — not simply matching keywords to job descriptions.
We take time to understand your technical strengths, career goals, motivations and the kinds of environments where you are most likely to thrive.
From CV guidance and interview preparation through to market insight and offer management, we aim to provide a transparent, informed and supportive experience throughout the process.
Our focus is on building long-term relationships and connecting cybersecurity professionals with opportunities that align with both their immediate priorities and longer-term ambitions.
