Do you think you got value for money?

I do think I got value for money. I’ve had lots of times where I didn’t get value for money from a recruiter – I got an okay [service], or I lost money you know. And i’ll be honest with you, my role, I make decisions on whether it makes money or not every day. And it’s that it’s just a business decision. I think the candidates that you’ve placed with us will make the value and the cost involved minuscule to the value that these people are going to bring our business.

Hear from the successful candidate

We were talking about what does that career path look like, and if i was being honest when we first talked I didn’t really think i would leave Gartner for a while. I was quite comfortable there, I enjoyed working with my team, I liked what I was doing and it was interesting. But, there was such a good fit in terms of what I was looking for in the future and what you said about SecurityHQ, that it seemed like a very good time to do it.
