What administrative staffing takes off your plate

Alert queue Reviewed, so dismissing stops being habit
Endpoints Enrolled, patched and reporting in
Access reviews Done on schedule, before an auditor asks
Incident response A runbook followed at two in the morning
Vulnerability backlog Worked down, not just recounted
Transparent pricing

Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.

Every security role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.

When to hire

When alerts get dismissed by habit

Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.

Alerts get dismissed The queue is too long to triage properly.
Endpoints go unpatched Devices drift out of policy without anyone noticing.
Access reviews overdue Leavers keep permissions months after they left.
No plan for the incident Response is improvised on the day it matters.
Do any of these sound familiar?
  • Alerts get dismissed because the queue is long.
  • Endpoints drift out of policy unnoticed.
  • Leavers still have access months later.
  • Incident response is improvised on the day.
  • The vulnerability backlog only grows.
  • Nobody is watching the queue overnight.

Model fit

Where your security analysts work best

Hire in the US when
  • Production security tooling access is restricted
  • Incident command needs decision authority
  • Compliance attestations carry a signing duty
Hire globally when
  • Alert monitoring needs continuous coverage
  • Endpoint management runs in your console
  • Vulnerability triage is queue work

Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.

Role / responsibility Global US direct hire Why
Alert queue monitoring Global Continuous coverage beats local presence
Endpoint and device management Global Console work, staffs globally
Vulnerability triage Global Queue work with no location benefit
Access review cycles Global Scheduled task, runs remotely
Production tooling access US direct hire Policy usually keeps this onshore
Incident command US direct hire Needs authority and decision rights
Security awareness administration Global Program work, staffs globally
Compliance evidence gathering Global Documentation, runs from anywhere

One partner, onshore and global

A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.

FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

What does an operational security desk own?

Security here is operational rather than advisory. It is monitoring alerts, hardening configurations, managing endpoints and devices, and responding when something looks wrong. The risk it exists to prevent is alert fatigue, because a queue nobody has time to triage properly trains a team to dismiss alerts.

Who hires security staff through HireHawk?

Software and technology businesses, usually at the point where an alert queue has grown past what an engineering team can absorb between features. Both hiring models carry a guarantee: 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed, 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, and access to production tooling is scoped by you.

Will security hires work in our own tooling?

Yes. Analysts and engineers work in the security platform, device management console and ticketing system you already run, under your access model and change process. Fluency is tested during vetting with a real triage scenario, so someone presented as an Information Security Analyst has explained what they would escalate and what they would close.

Can we scale security coverage up and down?

Coverage is the thing you should not flex. Fully managed global seats run month to month and US direct hires stay permanent employees on your payroll, so adding capacity is straightforward. Reducing monitoring cover is different: a queue nobody triages properly is exactly the state an incident needs, so we would rather keep it thin and constant than seasonal.

How do you vet security candidates?

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, plus a triage exercise built from a real alert queue: which alerts matter, which are noise, and what the first three actions are. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. Judgment under a noisy queue is more predictive here than a list of certifications.

What does continuous monitoring cost?

Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month, which is what makes round the clock coverage affordable at all. Most teams find two global seats covering opposite hours costs less than one domestic seat plus an out of hours retainer, and the queue actually gets worked.

Would they have access to our production security tools?

That depends on your policy and we will not push you. Many teams keep production tooling access onshore and use global seats for the monitoring, endpoint and triage layer, which is where the volume is. Others grant full access. Decide it before the search, not during onboarding.

Are these seats a substitute for a managed security provider?

No. A managed provider sells you a service with their own analysts and their own priorities. This is your own employee, working your queue, to your escalation threshold, with nothing routing through an account manager. Teams often run both, using the seat for work a provider will not own.
