Is your company struggling to identify, acquire and retain top talent?
In a recent article by ISACA chairman Matt Loeb, he warns that the shortage of cyber-security skill is a critical gap. It’s no secret that there is a skills gap in our technology market but that does not mean you should settle for less than the best candidates. Just like a knowledgeable realtor can negotiate the best home deal for you and your family, a skilled recruiting firm can deliver the best talent for your open positions. If you would like more information about closing the skills gap in your company, please contact me, Alex@SherlockTalent.com
