Frequently Asked Questions: For NukuDo Hiring Partners
1. Is NukuDo similar to a staffing agency?
Yes. But, unlike traditional staffing agencies that focus solely on matching candidates to job openings, NukuDo trains individuals for cybersecurity roles before being placed in job openings with our Hiring Partners. Additionally, traditional staffing firms often place candidates solely based on resumes and prior experience. At NukuDo, we base acceptance into our training and placement program on an individual's attitude and aptitude in the cybersecurity space.
2. What roles can NukuDo associates fill?
NukuDo associates are equipped to step into a wide range of cybersecurity roles, including but not limited to:

-
GRC Specialist

Security Engineer
-
Pre/Post Sales Engineer

While our associates are trained for various technical roles, we focus just as much on ensuring cultural and personality fit within your team. That’s how we define a successful placement. Additionally, NukuDo offers custom, bespoke programs exclusively for your company or team to develop professionals that are specialized in your policies, procedures, programs, and tools.
