How to find or share top talent
The platform’s talent roster works two ways. If you need extra skills in the room — a forensics expert, a regulator-savvy lawyer, a seasoned crisis-comms lead — go to the Vault. If you have talented members on your own team who can help other members’ sessions, go to /nominate and put them forward. It’s how members both secure top talent and advertise their own people to attract business.
Need extra skills? Start in the Vault
/vault has two people sections you can search and filter without leaving the catalogue:
- Support team — specialist advisers who sit alongside the blue team during the exercise (legal, cybersecurity & forensics, crisis management, regulatory). On the day a real incident plays out, this is the kind of person who would also be on the call.
- Experts — trainers and lecturers who frame the discussion, draw out the lessons, and debrief the room.
Each profile is a collapsible card with role, bio and an Enquire button that emails the platform superadmin so they can introduce you. Direct contact is intentionally not exposed — it keeps the roster’s quality up and avoids unsolicited outreach.
Have someone to share? Open /nominate
Head to /nominate. The first card asks whether you’re putting yourself forward or nominating a colleague or contact:
- Myself — the form runs as a self-nomination.
- Someone else — an extra block at the bottom captures the nominator’s name + email so the superadmin can confirm the nomination with you before contacting the nominee.
Pick the right catalogue placement
The Profile card’s Catalogue placement is the most important decision — it’s how the nominee will appear when members search the Vault. Three options:
- Expert / trainer only — typically someone who plays the role of a lecturer in a training scenario, framing the discussion, drawing out lessons, debriefing the room.
- Support team only — typically someone who participates in the training session sitting alongside the blue team (client executives) during the exercise, and who would also potentially be on the call on the day if the real incident played out.
- Support team + Expert / trainer — for people who are comfortable in either role. They show up in both Vault sections.
Fill out the profile
The rest of the form captures everything other members need to know before enquiring:
- Full name and contact email (used by the superadmin to verify the nomination before approval; never displayed publicly).
- Photo URL — optional, but a photo lifts the card considerably.
- Role title and bio — what they do and how they describe themselves.
- Incident types — which of the nine categories they cover, so members searching by category find them.
- Languages and geographies — comma-separated lists.
- Available remote — tick if they’ll work over video as well as in person.
- Day rate in your chosen currency, or tick On enquiry to keep commercials private.
Explain why and submit
The Nomination reason field is the pitch — a short paragraph the superadmin uses to assess fit. Mention specific incidents they’ve handled, regulators they’ve appeared before, audiences they’ve trained. If you’re nominating someone else, leave the Notify on decision box ticked so we email you when the nomination is approved (or if we need more information).
Hit submit. You’ll see a confirmation card, and the superadmin will reach out to the nominee’s contact email to confirm details and finalise their Vault profile.
What approval looks like for the nominee
Once a profile is live in the Vault, it’s discoverable by every member running a session. Their Vault card carries the role, bio and photo plus an Enquire button that routes through the superadmin so introductions are warm rather than cold. For the member who nominated someone from their own team, that exposure is a quiet form of advertising — work flows in because their people show up where it matters.
