In March 2020, Infosec surveyed 250 IT and security hiring managers to learn more about what drives their hiring decisions. The study analyzed employer emphasis on candidates’ skills, aptitude, experience, degrees and certifications across three candidate experience levels — and compared their responses to how they assessed their own ability to fill open cybersecurity roles.
The study found hiring managers at organizations successfully filling open positions are:
- 113% more likely to recruit their own candidates
- 433% more likely to use projects during the evaluation process
- 45% more likely to hire inexperienced candidates
