Keys for Recruiting Top Tech Talent

Trying to recruit talent and build a security team may feel like spotting unicorns these days.

But finding — and keeping — top talent can be achieved if you cast a wide net, find individuals with copious curiosity and aptitude, and build a culture where it’s safe to fail.

I sat down with Neal Potter, head of security operations, and Richard Fawcett, lead security operations engineer from Just Eat Takeway. During our conversation, we discussed the challenges of hiring security practitioners that have technical skills as well as the need to build a team that’s multidisciplinary, as opposed to overly specialized. 

But it doesn’t just stop at hiring. How do you retain and empower standout individuals on your team to do their best work without suffering burning out?  Tune in to our conversation with Neal and Richard to learn from their insights.
