Cybersecurity Talent: Supply and Demand

Method and definitions

Member profiles on CyberJobs.cc and the fit checks run against open roles, aggregated with a privacy floor (no group of fewer than a few people is shown); the open roles from the public job boards of the employers this site tracks (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workday, SmartRecruiters and the other systems they post on), read every hour, keeping the postings whose title and description read as security work. Every figure is computed by one database query over the window shown, the same query for the live report and for every edition. Each figure states its sample beneath it.

Member

A person with a profile on CyberJobs.cc by the end of the window; this site's own team is left out.

Fit check

The site's reading of a member's profile against one posting: strong fit, possible fit or unlikely, with the gaps it found.

Specialty

Each role is classified from its title and description into one of the 10 security specialties this site tracks (Security Operations & Incident Response, Security Engineering, Cloud Security, Application & Product Security, Identity & Access Management, Penetration Testing & Red Team, Threat Intelligence & Security Research, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Security Architecture & Consulting, Security Leadership). Every specialty links to its own page.

Window

Live: the last 28 complete days, in UTC. Edition: one calendar month, in UTC.

What this data cannot tell you

• Members are the people who made a profile on CyberJobs.cc; they are not a sample of every security job seeker, and the countries they come from follow where the site was found first.
• Profiles say what a person chose to write; a fit check reads that profile against the posting, never a CV it was not given.

How the job feeds are read and roles are classified: site methodology. How fresh, complete and consistent the data is, checked every day: data quality and coverage.

Editions

The live report covers the last 28 complete days and changes every day. Each complete month is also published as an edition, frozen two days after the month ends, so a figure you cite from an edition never moves.
