Episode Description
It's the episode everyone has been waiting for! One of the most sought after Cyber Security Executive Recruiters in the world, Matt Comyns of Caldwell Partners, appears on Episode #51 of TF7 Radio to talk about how Cyber Security Executives can differentiate themselves when competing for senior positions, how much time executives should spend searching for a job externally vs. internally, and how they can create more opportunities for themselves during a time when the talent crisis rages on. Comyns also talks with host George Rettas on how executives should work with recruiters, what are the best recruiting and retention practices employers should follow to win the talent war, and whether or not in a time where the CISO seems more and more to be the fall person in a thankless job, whether or not the CISO position has turned into a dead end job.
