Solutions · 02 Precision Staffing
The right practitioner,
cleared in days, not quarters.
RED SKY is the specialist cybersecurity staffing agency behind 8 of the Fortune 10. Direct Hire, Contract, and Contract-to-Hire for cybersecurity, IT, and AI roles, with every candidate vetted through the 20+ year Triton process before a resume ever reaches your inbox.
Engagement models
One vetting standard. Three ways to deploy it.
Every model below runs on the same Triton vetting spine and the same senior recruiters, each carrying 15+ years in cybersecurity and IT talent. Choose the commercial structure that fits the role, not the other way around.
01
Direct Hire
Permanent hires without the risk.
Contingency search for permanent cybersecurity, IT, and AI roles. You pay on results, and every placement is backed by a 100% placement guarantee.
- Built for
- Roles core to the org chart, where retention matters more than start date.
- Coverage
- Analyst through Architect, individual contributors to team leads.
- Commercials
- Contingency. No placement, no fee.
02
Contract
Rapid deployment for project demand.
Time and materials practitioners for implementations, audits, incident response, and delivery crunches. Submittal to hire averages 14 to 25 days.
- Built for
- Projects that cannot wait out a requisition cycle.

- Commercials

03
Contract-to-Hire
Evaluate on the job. Convert when it is proven.
Start a practitioner on contract, watch them perform inside your environment, then convert to permanent on your timeline.
- Built for
- Roles where fit is the question, or headcount approval is still moving.
- Coverage
- The same bench as Contract, scoped for conversion from day one.
- Commercials
- Contract rate with conversion terms agreed up front.

Delivery
Scope call to start date, on a clock.
Speed without vetting is how bad hires happen, so we refuse to trade one for the other. Every submittal clears the Triton Vetting Process, the same 20+ year methodology behind our executive placements, before it reaches your shortlist. That is the standard whether the role is a SOC analyst or a security architect.
And when the requirement outgrows staffing, the rest of the platform is already in the room: cybersecurity executive search for Director-level and above, professional services under SOW when you need an outcome instead of headcount, and AI talent acquisition for teams building AI capability from the ground up.
Scope
Requirements, environment, team character, and company culture, captured in one call. High touch starts here, not at the offer.
Vet
Triton screening and technical validation against your actual stack, run by recruiters with 15+ years in the domain.
Interview
A short slate of pre-vetted candidates, not a resume pile. Your team interviews finalists, not applicants.
Start
Offer, onboarding logistics, and day one in the seat. Direct Hire placements carry the 100% guarantee from here forward.
Day ranges reflect our contract placement average from submittal to hire, 14 to 25 days, measured across engagements. Direct hire and executive timelines run to their own canon.
For hiring leaders
Put a vetted practitioner on the project.
Tell us the role, the stack, and the date you need someone in the seat. We bring a shortlist worth your calendar, on the same vetting standard 8 of the Fortune 10 rely on.
