As the workplace continues to evolve, company executives are embracing the concept of "fluid talent" to tap into new and diverse sources of expertise. Traditional hiring methods don't cut it anymore. Corporate leaders today seek talent from various unconventional sources, including other departments, regions, independent contractors, former employees, and even acquiring companies to get the job done. Why invent the wheel when you can buy it?

And when it comes to tech industry jobs, companies have prioritised what was once considered “soft skills” as the most important criteria. Why? Because A-I is transforming tech at lightning speed. Digital and cyber systems used today will be outdated tomorrow. Hiring curious, passionate candidates committed to continuous learning will adapt.

I'm Kym Geddes, and in this episode of 1Click2CyberChaos, Jeff Musson and I discover how companies are broadening their talent-sourcing approaches to future-proof their business. We talk with Lisa Taylor, the founder of the Challenge Factory, and David Shipley, CEO and founder of Beauceron Security.

These consultants are working with clients to fill the talent gap and achieve greater flexibility and agility in their workforce.
