A narrow technical brief
You need particular implementation experience, not simply exposure to a platform.
I help organisations hire IAM, IGA and PAM specialists across the UK and Europe. You work directly with me from defining the brief and searching the market through interviews, checks and onboarding.
The platform on a CV is a starting point. The real question is whether someone has delivered the work you need, in the environment and location your role requires.
You need particular implementation experience, not simply exposure to a platform.
Location, contract structure or other requirements narrow an already small candidate pool.
You need to know what candidates personally built, changed or supported, and how they worked with others.
I run the search and stay your point of contact through selection, checks and onboarding. Knowing a candidate well helps me understand their history; I still assess them against your current brief.
We discuss deliverables, technical experience, environment, location and engagement requirements, and where the brief can flex. I give you an honest view of the market.
I combine targeted search with my specialist network. Every person I introduce is assessed afresh against your brief, including people I have known for years. I examine their technical depth, delivery experience, communication, motivation and practical fit, then explain why each introduction is relevant.
I coordinate interviews and feedback, prepare candidates, and work through rates or salaries and offers with both sides. You deal directly with me throughout.
I coordinate references, ID, right-to-work and employment-history checks, plus additional background checks appropriate to the role and client. I keep both sides informed through onboarding and remain in contact during contractor engagements.

“I’ve been working together with Luke Finn for quite a few years now and even before that, he was already supporting the Ventum team and the collaboration has consistently been very positive. What I especially appreciate is the quality of the IAM profiles he brings. They are consistently strong and it’s clear that he has a very good understanding of our requirements and what we’re looking for. On top of that, the communication with him is always clear, reliable and never pushy, which makes the collaboration very efficient and pleasant for us.
Thanks a lot for the continued great partnership!”
