101. Greg van der Gaast: Rethinking Recruitment

In a time of record unemployment due to the pandemic, it’s strange that cybersecurity job openings receive so little applicants and take 20% longer to fill than typical IT roles. Is there a cyber skills shortage, or are we simply looking in the wrong places? In this episode, we talk to Greg van der Gaast – CISO at Scoutbee GMBH and author of Rethinking InfoSec – about how we can rethink the cyber hiring process and role requirements, in order to find many more suitable candidates. We also touch on diversity, the role of HR, and building stronger enterprising teams. 00:28 Security in supply discovery 02:30 Rethinking InfoSec 09:20 Synergy 12:00 Resourceful recruitment 17:50 Finding the right fit 20:18 Health, safety, and growth 27:44 The role of HR Listening time: 32 minutes Host: Holly Grace Williams, MD at Secarma Guest: Greg van der Gaast, CISO at Scoutbee GMBH and author of Rethinking InfoSec Scoutbee GMBH: https://www.linkedin.com/company/scoutbee/ Connect with Greg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregvandergaast/ Our website: www.secarma.com Tweet us: www.twitter.com/Secarma Events: www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/secarma-ltd-31129456455
