Fueling Global Growth in Cybersecurity

FireEye Logo Colour

Company Overview

FireEye, a global leader in cybersecurity, embarked on a transformative journey in 2011 when they sought to establish their presence across EMEA. At the time, FireEye’s EMEA team comprised just six individuals. To support their ambitious growth, they partnered with Emerald Technology for talent acquisition across key markets.

Challenges

  • Need to rapidly scale their EMEA operations with critical hires in PreSales in the UK
  • No experience finding highly skilled professionals capable of supporting their technical and sales efforts while maintaining the agility required in a fast-growing organisation

Solution

Emerald Technology’s deep industry expertise allowed us to quickly deliver top-tier talent.\

  • PreSales Expertise: Successfully placing FireEye’s first PreSales professional in the UK, which catalysed the company’s growth in the region.
  • Strategic Expansion: Over the years, we facilitated over 35 strategic hires, spanning Sales and PreSales roles across key European territories.
  • IPO Support: As FireEye went through its pivotal IPO, we supported their expansion and organisational transformation.

Result

  • 35+ Strategic Hires: Across EMEA, including roles in Sales and PreSales, contributing to FireEye’s significant growth.
  • Navigating Mergers and Acquisitions: Supported FireEye through their acquisition of Mandiant in 2013, ensuring the integration of key talent.
  • Long-term Partnership: While FireEye eventually transitioned to an internal talent acquisition model, our relationship with their senior leadership remains strong, showcasing the lasting value of our partnership.

Quote

“Emerald are really able to question and understand my challenges and my company culture, and get to grips with my recruitment needs. They have now placed several people within the South Europe organisation, and I am confident with their judgment. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Emerald’s services again, and in fact they are now one my favourite partners.”
