As Director of Operations at Cyber Resource, a Glen Allen-based recruiting firm, Vikas Gehlot has spent over a decade helping clients fill tech and contract roles. He oversees a team of recruiters and remains hands-on in daily sourcing efforts, ensuring his team is using the right tools to drive results.
For Gehlot, the biggest challenges are accuracy and efficiency. “When a candidate’s information isn’t up to date, it can be a huge time-waster,” he noted. In a high-speed environment, any slowdown in the recruiting process—whether it’s sifting through irrelevant profiles or chasing down contact details—can hinder placement success. That’s why filtering capabilities and data reliability are critical to his workflow.
Gehlot and his team rely on Dice for its advanced filtering options and consistent quality of candidates. “If I have to choose one platform, Dice is our first preference,” he shared. “Because of the user-friendliness, the experience we have, and the quality of candidates.”
Dice’s filters allow Cyber Resource to fine-tune their searches across key attributes like salary expectations and technical skills—enabling them to zero in on the right candidates quickly. According to Gehlot, other platforms fall short when it comes to narrowing the talent pool in a meaningful way. “We can save time and focus on the candidates who are most likely to be a fit.” For tech roles, Dice is always their first stop. “Especially when we have specific limitations or requirements—Dice helps us get to the most relevant and active candidates.”
Most of Cyber Resource’s placements now come directly from Dice. Beyond the numbers, Gehlot emphasized the overall value the platform brings to his team: accurate data, relevant candidates, and a smoother, faster sourcing experience. “Dice provides a wide range of candidates that are valuable to our team,” he said. “It’s the first platform we go to when we need accurate and up-to-date resumes.” Dice remains a cornerstone of Cyber Resource’s recruiting stack—delivering not just hires, but peace of mind.
If I have to choose one platform, Dice is our first preference. Because of the user-friendliness and the experience that we have and the quality of candidates.
