The online security scanning and continous risk management companies are
running into the same issue, the lack of experienced folk are limited, and
the newer folk don't have as much experience as the previous folk. Just
the other day, I was talking to someone who just joined a premier security
consulting service company.
Of course that person has less than 10 years experience, and HR commented
that he was the highest paid senior person on staff. Oh boy, that makes
you wonder, that premier consulting companies advertise the fact they have
top notch talent but yet don't want to pay top dollar for it.
Recruiters get off your schtick, stop trying to save the company money, and
offer up the bucks, if the person doesn't work out in 90 days, get rid of
them, some other company will pick them up in less than 30 days, unless you
are one of those people that got black-balled a while back and could be
deemed highly controversial if you hired them.. Of course, once you did
hire one of those outrageous characters: you would try your best to keep
that person on board for as long as you can, pay them lots of money, and
never say to them "You know you really belong in a boutique company and not
a high end consulting company (or big six type firm).." and then go up
against them 2 years later.. :)
