This episode has a wealth of insights for candidates looking to break into the #InfoSec industry and for organisations #recruiting across the landscape also. James is a highly experienced InfoSec head-hunter and we hear his industry insights, find out what it's like to work in such a saturated and competitive recruitment sector, how best to showcase your transferrable skills during interviews and ultimately stand out from the crowd. We also covered topics around salary benchmarking, London salary weighting, the impact of COVID and we also talked about the perceived #cyber skills shortage across the UK.

This was a really enjoyable episode and a unique insight into the world of InfoSec recruitment. Thank you James for taking the time out to share your knowledge with our audience.
