I truly believe we are here for a reason, and that reason is to impact those around us and the future generations that will come after us.

As part of our HR Strategy Series, I’m talking with top experts in the field to teach prospects what hiring managers are actually looking for, while also supporting business leaders in their hiring and retention strategies. Today I had the pleasure of talking with Karl Sharman.

With 10 years of cybersecurity recruitment experience, Karl Sharman is currently Head of Cybersecurity Solutions and Consultancies for Stott and May and a Talent Management Consultant at Forgepoint Capital.

As a featured LinkedIn contributor, Karl covers subjects including talent acquisition and retention, workforce development, lay-offs, and ways to develop high-performing teams; he has nearly 34,000 followers, with 8,500 subscribers to his weekly “SecMoves” newsletter.

Thank you so much for doing this with us! First, please tell us what brought you to this specific career path?
