*Apologies for the continuity this was recorded before we went to Derbycon 2017.*   Preston Pierce is a recruiter. We wanted to have him on to discuss some issues with our industry. So we had him on to discuss hiring practices, how a recruiter can help a company recruiter better talent, and how to stop companies looking for the 'unicorn' candidate. Preston is a great guy and we learned a lot about how the recruiting process works, and how Preston's company work differently from other, less reputable companies. We also discuss job descriptions, getting management buy in for a good candidate, and more.  Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-034-Preston_Pierce_recruiting_job_descriptions.mp3   RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  http://www.youtube.com/c/BDSPodcast #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast   Join our #Slack Channel!
