About the firm
Built on real-world experience
Talent Ninja, LLC is a veteran-owned technical recruiting firm headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. We partner with employers across the country to hire cybersecurity, IT, and ServiceNow professionals through contingency search, retained search, and contract staffing.
Our approach comes from time spent on both sides of the hiring table: in technical recruiting, technology consulting, and IT operations, and building teams inside our own businesses. We know what a SOC analyst actually does all day, what separates a good ServiceNow admin from a great one, and how to spot a résumé that doesn't match real experience.
Our values
- Integrity. Candid advice on the market, even when it's not what you want to hear.
- Mission first. We measure success by the people still on your team a year later.
- Precision. Fewer, better-matched candidates instead of résumé volume.
Looking for your next role?
If you work in cybersecurity, IT, or ServiceNow, send your résumé and the kind of role you want next. It's always free for candidates, and our team will reach out when there's a fit. You can also email careers@thetalentninja.com.
