We have partnered with Elixirr for almost a decade, supporting the consultancy with high-impact hires across multiple disciplines.
Building a specialist Cyber Security practice for Elixirr
Most recently, our work has focused on helping Elixirr rapidly scale a specialist Cyber Security consulting team under a newly appointed Partner, a critical area of growth for the firm amid rising market demand and heightened awareness of cyber risk.
Challenges Elixirr faced
Elixirr was looking to build deep capability within Cyber Security consulting, an area where they had traditionally hired more generalist profiles. The new Partner’s vision required bringing in experienced specialists who could deliver complex client work with credibility and pace. With heightened competition for top talent in this space, the challenge lay in sourcing experts who met Elixirr’s high bar for both technical expertise and consulting excellence.
Recruitment solutions
Our trusted, agile partnership meant we could move quickly while maintaining quality. We began with a detailed consultation to align on the target profile and realistic expectations around budget and timelines. Drawing on our deep consulting network, we delivered a high-calibre shortlist of permanent candidates within weeks, carefully balancing speed with precision.
Throughout the process, we ensured candidate engagement remained strong; managing motivations, providing clear feedback, and supporting both parties through interviews and onboarding.
The results
Within six weeks, Elixirr successfully appointed their preferred candidate, who joined the team shortly after. The new hire has enabled the business to accelerate client delivery and strengthen its growing Cyber Security practice.
Importantly, the individual was able to operate autonomously and credibly in a demanding environment, freeing senior leaders to focus on practice development and client engagement.
