AlgoSec, a global cybersecurity leader and the #1 enterprise network security policy provider trusted by more than 1,800 organizations worldwide, partnered with Newxel to build a specialized development team that could support its rapid growth and demanding enterprise customers.
The goal was not just to expand capacity, but to do so with engineers who could operate at the highest technical level while fully aligning with AlgoSec’s standards, workflows, and security-first mindset.
In 2022, AlgoSec set out to expand their Professional Services function and needed experienced deployment engineers able to operate in a fast-paced, enterprise cybersecurity environment.
However, this wasn’t a simple hiring request , they were looking for specialists with niche knowledge, English proficiency, and a mindset aligned with their collaborative and customer-centric culture. Finding such talent in a new market added another layer of complexity.
AlgoSec turned to Newxel to explore the Turkish talent pool, a market that was completely new to both sides.
Within the first month, after careful market learning and targeted search, the first engineer was hired and onboarded, marking a major milestone and confirming that Turkey was the right direction. This success evolved into a growing professional team of three top-tier deployment engineers who continue to contribute to AlgoSec’s global success.
AlgoSec set out with an ambitious goal: rapidly expand its deployment engineering capabilities without sacrificing quality or control. The team required engineers with a strong technical foundation in specialized cybersecurity technologies, excellent English communication skills for direct interaction with global clients, and a high level of cultural alignment with AlgoSec’s collaborative standards.
At the same time, all hiring had to be fully compliant within a complex and unfamiliar market. Despite these challenges, talent quality was non-negotiable, and speed and precision were just as critical to success.
The Turkish market introduced a new set of challenges that required careful navigation. Unique labor legislation and compliance rules demanded a thorough understanding to ensure every hire was fully legal and protected.
Financial and taxation specifics added another layer of complexity, requiring precise handling to avoid delays or penalties. Operational hurdles, such as online payments dependent on local bank cards, created friction in everyday transactions, while logistics and equipment coordination needed meticulous planning to ensure engineers had the tools they needed from day one.
Addressing these challenges was critical to building a high-performing, fully compliant team capable of supporting AlgoSec’s ambitious growth.
From the very first call, it was clear this wouldn’t be a “just fill the role” type of project. HiBob needed people, not placeholders.
We started by building a custom recruitment approach: every search combined a technical screening with a deep check for cultural match. Within weeks, after months of failed attempts with another vendor, HiBob welcomed their first hire through Newxel, which was a 101% match.
Despite market, legal, and language challenges, Newxel successfully sourced, hired, and onboarded the first specialist within a month, laying the foundation for a strong and growing dedicated development team.
The collaboration evolved into a high-performing team of three deployment specialists, with both companies valuing the expertise, seamless communication, and supportive culture that defined the partnership.
