1 Use scenario-based questions

Scenario-based questions are a great way to test how candidates would approach real-world cybersecurity problems and solutions. You can ask them to describe how they would design, implement, or improve a specific system, such as a firewall, a VPN, or a web application. You can also ask them to identify and explain the potential threats, risks, and vulnerabilities in a given scenario, and how they would mitigate or prevent them. Scenario-based questions can help you assess candidates' technical knowledge, analytical thinking, and creativity.

Forget boring tests, unlock hidden cyber heroes with fire-forged scenarios, code-cracking challenges, villainous role-plays, and truth-seeking interviews. Don't just skim resumes, peel back the onion with reference checks and sniff out passion, adaptability, and that gut feeling of a true digital defender. In the cyber war, unconventional assessments forge the heroes who stand guard against the darkness.

2 Use coding challenges

Coding challenges are another effective way to measure candidates' ability to write secure and efficient code. You can use online platforms or tools that allow you to create and assign coding tasks, or you can ask candidates to submit their code samples or portfolios. You can choose coding challenges that are relevant to the role and the technologies you use, such as encryption, authentication, or penetration testing. You can also evaluate candidates' code quality, readability, and documentation.

3 Use role-playing exercises

Role-playing exercises are a fun and interactive way to test how candidates would perform in realistic cybersecurity situations. You can simulate different roles and scenarios, such as a hacker, a defender, or a client, and ask candidates to act accordingly. For example, you can ask one candidate to try to breach a system, and another candidate to try to defend it. Or you can ask a candidate to explain a cybersecurity solution to a non-technical client. Role-playing exercises can help you assess candidates' communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

I believe this scenario is the most interesting. As it forces the candidate to actually leave the comfort zone of their usual approach and check onto different approaches! Having in consideration different perspectives is essential to be able to properly balance being a customer advocate taking in consideration the business needs under a cybersecurity umbrella! I can check technical skills in many ways but verifying the roles and the perspective of the candidate is, depending on the role, a harder soft skill to find!

4 Use behavioral interviews

Behavioral interviews are a useful way to learn more about candidates' past experiences and achievements in cybersecurity. You can ask them to tell you about a time when they designed or implemented a successful cybersecurity project, or when they faced a difficult cybersecurity challenge and how they overcame it. You can also ask them about their learning habits, their preferred tools and methods, and their professional goals. Behavioral interviews can help you assess candidates' motivation, attitude, and fit for your culture.

5 Use reference checks

Reference checks are a vital way to verify candidates' claims and credentials in cybersecurity. You can contact their previous employers, clients, or colleagues, and ask them about their performance, skills, and behavior in cybersecurity projects. You can also ask them about their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Reference checks can help you confirm candidates' reputation, reliability, and integrity in the cybersecurity field.

Assessing cybersecurity design and implementation skills requires a meticulous and diversified approach. Among the effective methods, utilizing reference checks plays a pivotal role. This approach involves contacting former employers or professional partners to authenticate and validate the skills claimed by the candidate. It provides valuable insights into their actual experience, the quality of their past work, and their ability to tackle specific cybersecurity challenges. Reference checks offer direct testimonies regarding the candidate's achievements, responsibilities, and prior performance in the cybersecurity field, thereby providing a more thorough and reliable evaluation of cybersecurity skills.
