Cybersecurity has become a global challenge: in 2023, the number of cyberattacks worldwide increased by 70% compared to the previous year. At the same time, there is a shortage of cybersecurity experts everywhere – in Gartner’s estimate, over 3.4 million cybersecurity positions remain unfilled. Instar Talent is stepping up to tackle this challenge, with Jelena Laudver joining as Head of Recruitment.

“Finding cybersecurity experts is one of the most difficult tasks on today’s job market. These specialists are rare and in high demand, and recruiting them requires an understanding of both technology and the unique nature of cybersecurity,” explains Laudver. “Our goal is to support the growth of companies’ technology teams by offering recruitment assistance in cybersecurity, leadership, and IT.”

Jelena Laudver is a seasoned HR and recruitment leader specializing in technology sector hires. “Instar has long been the absolute leader in employer branding in Estonia. I’m very excited to join such a strong team,” adds Laudver.

The collaboration between Instar Talent and Instar EBC creates a unique synergy, integrating recruitment services with employer-branding solutions. “This allows us to offer a holistic approach—from finding the right talent to retaining them long-term,” explains Instar EBC CEO Kersti Vannas.
