    The Human Bias Fueling Talent Shortages

    With Laurent Halimi, CEO & Founder, Cyberr

    Is cybersecurity really facing a talent shortage, or are organisations overlooking talented people because of the way they hire? Laurent joins Recruiting Future to discuss skills-based hiring, recruitment bias, AI's growing influence on cybersecurity careers and why verified skills are becoming increasingly important. The conversation also explores how trust, professional identity and specialist communities can help organisations make better hiring decisions while giving cybersecurity professionals more control over their careers.

    With Samantha Swift, CMO, Cyberr & Heelr · Hosted by Michael Virgone

The conversation explores why deepfakes are being used in recruitment, how attackers can prepare with AI, the warning signs hiring teams should watch for, and what organisations can do to reduce the risk as the technology improves.

    What Is Wrong With Cybersecurity Marketing?

    With Samantha Swift, CMO, Cyberr & Heelr · Hosted by Michael Virgone

    What happens when cybersecurity marketing gets too far away from cybersecurity? In the second part of the conversation, Sam and Michael explore the problems with absolute product claims, the gap between what works on paper and what works in the real world, and why authenticity matters. They also discuss the value of talking to practitioners and customers, getting outside the vendor bubble, and how grassroots cybersecurity events can give marketing, product and sales teams a better understanding of the industry they serve.
