Cyber recruitment platform powered by industry expertise
Locke & McCloud transitioned from a traditional staffing firm into REX, a hiring platform for cyber security talent. The tech stack—Power Platform (Automate, Apps, BI, Query), Python, PowerShell, Azure, plus CrowdStrike and Darktrace—reflects a Microsoft-centric automation approach paired with security-native tools, suggesting the platform automates candidate screening and hiring workflows rather than building custom infrastructure. Minimal recent hiring velocity and a small senior-heavy team (3 of 4 hires are senior-level) indicates a product-focused, lean operation scaling through platform efficiency rather than headcount.
Locke & McCloud was founded to address the shortage of skilled cyber security professionals globally. For years, the company operated as a traditional recruitment firm serving organisations across the UK, Europe, and the United States. The company has now evolved into REX, a hiring platform designed to streamline how organisations identify, engage, and recruit cyber security talent across roles ranging from niche specialists to permanent security leaders. The platform is built on years of accumulated recruiting expertise and market knowledge in the cyber space. The core mission—helping organisations build and scale their security teams—remains unchanged; the delivery model has shifted from manual staffing to platform-driven access.
