Companies turn to Peerlyst to overcome the challenges of hiring information security professionals.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hiring information security professionals is challenging for companies of all sizes, especially those just starting to build their security team. That's why many are turning to the Peerlyst (https://www.peerlyst.com) community of cybersecurity professionals for help. Peerlyst is already known for helping security pros share knowledge and advance their careers. But now Peerlyst is launching new solutions designed to improve the hiring process via its established network of security experts.

The basic offering is an online tool for posting job opportunities to attract the most qualified talent. Those posts will be targeted to users based on their demonstrated skills, so recruiters can count on relevant candidates seeing them. They can also leverage Peerlyst's unique matching tool, allowing them to screen candidates by the subject-matter expertise that candidates have listed on their profile or demonstrated through their participation in security projects and discussions.
Education company Springboard has been using Peerlyst as a platform to offer its mentoring solutions, and recently began availing of PeerJobs© to find qualified mentors for students taking its cybersecurity courses. "Peerlyst has been really useful as a way of connecting with security professionals, and now PeerJobs© allows us to search in a very granular way to find security pros with specific specializations," says Rodrigo Aronas, Springboard's head of growth and user acquisition. "Unlike job sites like LinkedIn, Peerlyst enables us to go beyond unproven qualification claims and vet security professionals according to real demonstrated expertise."

PeerHire© is a turnkey job-filling solution that provides companies with comprehensive support from Peerlyst InfoSec experts. Experts from the community help clients during every stage of the hiring process, including:
- Creating a job posting that calls out the security skills most vital for that particular position.
- Promoting the post on Peerlyst and 150 other social media sites.
- Performing tailored searches to find matching candidates using Peerlyst's technology.

"That service costs up to $40K if you're working with a headhunter—and let's face it, most are out of their depth when it comes to InfoSec," says Elbaz. "Peerlyst has deep insight into InfoSec skills—and offers that knowledge in the most cost-effective way."
Figure, a FinTech company leveraging blockchain, enlisted Peerlyst in its hunt for a CISO. "Peerlyst helped us define the kind of CISO who would be ideal for our company," says Christina Gutierrez, Figure's leader in talent acquisition. With Peerlyst's help, Figure was able to fill that pivotal position within a month.
