The Independent Search

The Independent Search is an Australian search and headhunting firm that describes itself as a next generation consulting firm working in Cyber Security, Cloud and Executive Search. It recruits across cyber security, security operations centres, cloud engineering and architecture, DevOps, software and systems engineering, solution architecture, data and analytics, infrastructure and networks, project and program management, and ICT leadership. It also places professionals who hold Australian Government security clearances, from Baseline through to Positive Vetting.

The firm says it has more than two decades of recruitment experience, including over 13 years specialising in Defence, National Security and Cyber Security recruitment. Its clients include government agencies, defence primes, critical infrastructure organisations and the wider technology sector. It says it does not rely on job advertisements or inbound applications, and instead approaches candidates directly.

Its executive search work covers senior technical leaders, program executives and C-suite appointments for government, Defence, start-ups, scale-ups and multinational organisations. The company searches Australia wide and currently operates from a virtual office in Sydney.
