Competence over credentials
We match people on evidenced skills and experience - what they can actually do, not the qualifications they hold or the university they attended.
CyberMatch - a skills-based hiring platform
Shape the future of cyber security hiring
We're building a new way for cyber security professionals and employers to find each other with skills-based hiring
The problem
Cyber security has a hiring problem - and it's not a talent shortage.
Unfilled roles
Thousands of cyber security positions across the UK sit vacant, even as demand for skilled professionals keeps growing.
Locked-out talent
Capable candidates are routinely screened out by CV and qualification requirements that don't actually reflect their ability to do the job.
No shared language
Employers and candidates lack a common way to describe cyber skills, making it hard to match the right person to the right role.
How it works
One shared framework. A smarter match. A real chance to prove it.
Define the skills
Every role and every candidate is mapped against our Cyber Skills Framework - a shared language for overall capability, built on recognised industry standards.
Get matched
Our platform connects employers and candidates based on demonstrated skills, not job titles or qualifications.
Prove it on the job
Candidates take on a trial placement - a real opportunity to show what they can do, before either side commits.
Why it's different
We're not building another job board. We're building a fairer way to hire.
A shared skills language
Our Cyber Skills Framework is cross-referenced against recognised industry models, so employers and candidates are finally speaking the same language.
Inclusion, by design
CyberMatch is built to open doors for people from underrepresented backgrounds - women, neurodiverse individuals, career changers - not as an afterthought, but from the ground up.
