Resilient Cyber w/ Stuart Mitchell Cyber Talent, Recruiting & the Workforce
Manage episode 429688800 series 2947250
- First off, for folks now familiar with your background, can you tell us a bit about yourself?
- You made the leap from working for a firm to founding your own talent and recruiting company. Can you tell us about that decisions and experience?
- Before we dive into specific topics, what are some of the biggest workforce trends you are seeing in cyber currently? I have seen you talk about the pendulum shift from workers to employers on aspects like remote roles, and so on. What is the current dynamic across the cyber landscape broadly at the moment?
- The cyber workforce is often discussed painfully, with talks of struggles to attract and retain technical talent, but I feel like it isn't just a headcount problem. We also often see absolutely awful PD's and processes that impact organizations hiring abilities. What are your thoughts here?
- You're often seeking out some of the best talent for leading organizations. What sort of experiences, qualities and characteristics do you find yourself looking for in candidates that make them stand out from the broader workforce?
- Conversely, what are some things you see organizations doing the best that really set them apart from others when it comes to building amazing security teams?
- What can folks be doing to try and best position themselves for their dream role? What are key things to keep in mind and emphasize from an expertise, personal branding, resume and other factors perspectives?
