“Current employees can be out in the community helping your security talent search efforts and their referrals cannot be underestimated”

— Claire Pales

This season I am again recording some solo episodes and answering the big questions that I hear often when doing consulting work. I'm excited to share some of the experiences I have had during my career in security.

There are times in the hiring process when you will need to surround yourself with certain people - professionals and peers, that are not involved in the day-to-day security or technology function. Having that help and support will ensure you make the best attempt at finding the right security leader.  In this episode, I share tips on who can support and help when recruiting for new security talent.
