Case Study: Building a High-Caliber InfoSec & Data Security Team in Two Weeks

A leading Middle Eastern ridesharing app embarked on a mission to establish its cutting-edge in-house data security and infosec team. The goal? To fortify the protection of user data, ensuring the highest standards of confidentiality and security.

As they set their sights on talent acquisition, they sought out seasoned professionals to join their ranks in Dubai (HQ) or other thriving tech hubs such as Pakistan, Lebanon, or Egypt.

With access to ANSR’s proprietary AI-powered fitment engine and end-to-end hiring solution, they were able to hire AI, ML, security, and DevOps professionals from top product companies, resulting in annual savings of $200,000.
