Sam Hartley joined the team as Senior Security Consultant from international IT specialist NTT, when he saw an opportunity to make more of a strategic difference within a smaller organisation. When asked about his new role, Hartley said: “I enjoy working in such a customer focussed environment and our agility allows us to create testing scenarios tailored to our clients’ needs rather than have them pick from a standard set of services.”
7 Elements has also recruited two graduates who join the team this summer on a 12 month graduate programme, developed and run internally by the 7 Elements team. The programme includes shadowing and training opportunities which are assessed throughout the 12 months with a six month and an end of year industry recognised practical certification to ensure the graduate programme delivers top quality testers.
Ross Bingham, who has recently graduated with a BSc in Computer Security Technologies from Glasgow Caledonian University, said about his new role:
“The main motivator for me joining the 7 Elements team was the exceptional work ethic and strong business values. Coupled with the opportunity for growth and development within the graduate programme, it was a very attractive proposition. It is above and beyond that of which I have seen in other companies.”
Gareth Renaud has completed a Computer Science degree from the University of Glasgow and is starting the graduate programme in July.
7 Elements is also actively recruiting for two further key positions including a Senior Security Tester with the highest level of Crest qualifications and a Security Tester who is working towards the highest level of Crest qualifications.
