The World Famous Hire Ground Panel, Tuesday Edition
Unknown
BSides Las Vegas 2025 · Day 1
BSides Las Vegas’s **Higher Ground** hiring village anchors a long-running community effort to make **career navigation** in security more humane and more legible. This **Tuesday** panel, moderated by **Kirsten**, assembles four front-line perspectives that rarely share a stage at equal length: an **agency recruiter** (**Chris Rides**, **Tyro Security**), a **corporate GovCon recruiter** (**Heather Morris**, **Red Horse Corporation**), a **community operations** leader who also hires (**Noel Horry**, **Cobalt**), and a **serial hiring manager** (**Bruce Potter**) with a blunt read on incentives. The session is explicitly interactive—Kirsten encourages interruptions—and it is less “how to write a résumé” and more **systems analysis** of hiring: who knows what, who is paid for what outcome, and why candidates experience **ghosting**, **black-hole applications**, and contradictory advice about **degrees**, **certs**, and **AI**.
AI review
A useful, candid hiring-market panel with sharp moments on incentives, ghosting, and JD theater—but it is not technical research and repeats themes frequent attendees have heard before.
