# CyberMatch - a skills-based hiring platform

## Shape the future of cyber security hiring

We're building a new way for cyber security professionals and employers to find each other with skills-based hiring

## The problem

Cyber security has a hiring problem - and it's not a talent shortage.

### Unfilled roles

Thousands of cyber security positions across the UK sit vacant, even as demand for skilled professionals keeps growing.

### Locked-out talent

Capable candidates are routinely screened out by CV and qualification requirements that don't actually reflect their ability to do the job.

### No shared language

Employers and candidates lack a common way to describe cyber skills, making it hard to match the right person to the right role.

## How it works

One shared framework. A smarter match. A real chance to prove it.

### Define the skills

Every role and every candidate is mapped against our Cyber Skills Framework - a shared language for overall capability, built on recognised industry standards.

### Get matched

Our platform connects employers and candidates based on demonstrated skills, not job titles or qualifications.

### Prove it on the job

Candidates take on a trial placement - a real opportunity to show what they can do, before either side commits.

## Why it's different

We're not building another job board. We're building a fairer way to hire.

### Competence over credentials

We match people on evidenced skills and experience - what they can actually do, not the qualifications they hold or the university they attended.

### A shared skills language

Our Cyber Skills Framework is cross-referenced against recognised industry models, so employers and candidates are finally speaking the same language.

### Inclusion, by design

CyberMatch is built to open doors for people from underrepresented backgrounds - women, neurodiverse individuals, career changers - not as an afterthought, but from the ground up.
