Federal government policy on modernizing and reforming the assessment and hiring federal job candidates directs departments and agencies to better identify and secure talent through skills- and competency-based hiring. How can assessment be used to improve cybersecurity workforce hiring? In this webinar speakers will share their experiences with developing assessment-based approaches to identifying and hiring cybersecurity talent. You will learn about policies and strategies, the development and use of behavior-based interview questions, and how the NICE Challenge Project can help provide a bridge between academia and the workplace while generating assessment data to improve hiring outcomes.
