Author: BKBT Productions March 24, 2025 Duration: 44:37
Ever wondered why cybersecurity hiring is broken? Jessica's flipping the script with a revolutionary approach to talent acquisition and development! George K and George A talk to Jessica about: * How she transformed the company's hiring by focusing on building talent rather than looking for unicorns or perfect fits * Why asking "Why are you here?" is her #1 interview question (and what she learns from it) * How her military background shaped her approach to servant leadership * Their "strange renegades" philosophy that's created remarkable team loyalty "Accessibility does not equate to aptitude. Some people just don't have access, but that doesn't mean they won't be great employees." Every company struggling with talent acquisition or employee churn needs to check out this conversation. Jessica's transparency about Risk360's approach to compensation, benefits, and career development is refreshingly honest. Listen now and let us know what you think!

There’s a lot of noise in the world of technology talk, but Bare Knuckles and Brass Tacks cuts through it with a focus on the people behind the products and the societal currents shaping our digital landscape. Hosts George K and George A steer conversations that are less about specs and hype, and more about real-world consequences. You’ll hear them dig into topics like the messy rollout of new AI tools, the often-invisible backbone of digital infrastructure, and why communities adopt or reject certain technologies. This podcast regularly features guests from various fields who offer unvarnished opinions on what’s genuinely functional and what’s fundamentally flawed in our tech-saturated lives. The discussions move beyond simple commentary to challenge the standard narratives promoted by the tech industry, examining the cultural and social ripples of every new development. It’s a show for anyone who feels that technology coverage often misses the human element-the frustrations, the adaptations, and the ethical dilemmas. Tune in for a grounded, critical, and consistently engaging dialogue that connects the dots between code and culture. This production from BKBT Productions lives up to its name, getting down to the brass tacks of how technology is built and used, with a bare-knuckle honesty that’s increasingly rare.
