Executive Protection Skills Gaps | Steve Hernandez & Craig McKim
Beyond the 'hard' and 'soft' EP skills debate what are employers really looking for today? Can they afford to be selective during what some have described as a shortage of qualified candidates?
We are delighted to be joined by Steve Hernandez, CEO, The North Group and Craig McKim, Co-Founder, Maverick Protection group to ask:
- Will we start to recruit from non-typical sectors to develop tomorrow's EP team?
- What do 'technology skills' actually look like in the context of protection?
- How marked is the gap between operator and business owner skillsets?
- Is there a skillset gap or actually a lack of available candidates?
- Are some 'soft' skills actually key 'hard' skills today?
