đ A Brand-New National Security Division at Matchtech:
And You Can Build It.
How many chances do you get to build a brandnew division - with serious investment behind you?
In recruitment, ânew roleâ often means itâs not really new.
This isnât remotely that.
Weâre doing something genuinely big here.
And for the first time, weâre building a National Security division from the ground up.
Yep. A whole new division. Backed, funded, and taken seriously at the highest level.
And hereâs the fun part:
đ
Weâre looking for someone who actually wants to build it, lead it and own it.
Matchtech already dominate in Defence.
Infosec are a boutique cyber powerhouse.
Put those two together and you get something pretty special:
A brand-new National Security division with the heritage, clients and credibility to scale fast.
This isnât just UKIC DV work.
This is a broad, highvalue National Security + Defence Cyber remit with existing NFI already exceeding ÂŁ100K ready to transition straight in.
In other wordsâŠ
Youâre not starting from zero.
Youâre starting from traction.
đ§± What makes this role differentThis is not your typical recruitment role.
This is a âgrow it, shape it, make it yoursâ opportunity.
Hereâs what weâre putting on the table:
đ„
Freedom to shape the entire National Security offering
đ„
Ability to lift and bring a team (up to 4 to start)
đ„
Guaranteed commission so your earnings donât dip while you build
đ„
Milestone payments because weâre backing this properly
đ„
Direct leadership from Ben Craig (MD of Infosec)
đ„
Matchtech brand power for maximum credibility
We even explored acquisition routes (not our number one plan) just to show how committed we are to building something big here.
This wonât sit in the corner of the business gathering dust.
This becomes your baby - with full support, not full pressure.
đïž What youâll actually leadThis role sits at the intersection of:
- National Security
- Defence Cyber
- Critical infrastructure
- Government and secure projects
Basically, the stuff that matters.
And the space where skilled recruiters can make huge impact and even bigger earnings.
đ So⊠whoâs this for?If youâre an experienced recruiter in:
- Cyber
- Defence
- National Security
- Securecleared markets
- Or even just someone who gets this world and wants to build something of their ownâŠ
Then this could the move.
If youâve ever thought:
âI could build a better division if someone would just trust me to do itâŠâ
Then yes. This is very likely for you.
â Fancy 20 minutes to see what it really looks like?No pressure. Just a conversation with our Director to explore whether this is:
- Interesting for you
- Right for your future
- Or even an opportunity for you and a small team
And of course, my inbox is always open too!
