How to Attract and Nurture Talent in a Tough Hiring Environment
When hiring gets tough whether because of a hot market with scarce talent or a cooling market with hiring freezes—skill gaps often emerge within teams, and it can be difficult to know where to turn to find qualified candidates or methods of bridging those gaps. Persistent skill gaps have long plagued the IT, cybersecurity and related digital trust fields.
Every year, reports like ISACA’s State of Cybersecurity reveal unfilled job positions, long periods of trying to find qualified candidates for those positions, high turnover rates and a talent shortage in the industry.

- What is your purpose?
- What are the opportunities for growth?
- Do you recognize and reward merit?
