When Cybersecurity Jobs Are Posted

From 11 Nov 2026, when this site began reading the job boards, to 14 Nov 2026, 84 new security postings carried a usable posting date, and those with a stated time fell most often in the 20:00 UTC hour, while people applied most in the 14:00 UTC hour. The job boards have been read on 4 of the 7 days of the week so far, so no day is ranked yet.

Key findings

  1. 1

    New security postings with a stated time are busiest in the 20:00 UTC hour (15.4% of them), and 34.6% fall in the 20:00 to 00:00 UTC block.

    Figure 2
  2. 2

    Apply clicks peak in the 14:00 UTC hour (8.2% of clicks), 6 hours before the busiest posting hour.

    Figure 6
  3. 3

    Half of the new security postings with a stated time were in their employer's public feed and read by this site within 0.7 hours, and 100.0% within a day; Delinea's were the slowest (median 1.2 hours).

Sample. 84 new listings dated from 11 Nov 2026, when this site began reading the job boards, to 14 Nov 2026 by their job board, at 42 employers; 94 new listings in all.

The day is the posting date the job board gives, in UTC. A share is the day's postings per day of that weekday on which the boards were read, each board counted from its first read, so a weekday seen more often, or on more boards, is not tilted by it.

A weekday no board has been read on yet has no share (n/a), and no day is ranked as the busiest until every weekday has been read.

Date-only stamps (at least 90% of an employer's stamps at exactly 00:00:00 UTC): Thales, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Cohesity, Qualys, Trellix, Trend Micro, Arctic Wolf, Darktrace and Ontinue. They count by weekday and are left out of the hours.

Left out: Dropbox, OpenAI, 1Password, Check Point, ElevenLabs, Muon Space and Superhuman, whose stamps fall within 10 minutes of this site's first sighting for at least half the roles, so they are this site's read time, not the board's (9 new listings).

A role already on an employer's board when this site first read it (its back catalogue) is not counted as new.

Sample. 52 new listings from 11 Nov 2026, when this site began reading the job boards, to 14 Nov 2026 whose job board gives a posting date and time, at 32 employers.

The hour of the posting time the job board gives, in UTC.

Packetlabs accounts for 11.5% of these postings, so its schedule shapes the curve; each employer's busiest hour is in the employer table.

Date-only stamps (at least 90% of an employer's stamps at exactly 00:00:00 UTC): Thales, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Cohesity, Qualys, Trellix, Trend Micro, Arctic Wolf, Darktrace and Ontinue. They count by weekday and are left out of the hours.

Left out: Dropbox, OpenAI, 1Password, Check Point, ElevenLabs, Muon Space and Superhuman, whose stamps fall within 10 minutes of this site's first sighting for at least half the roles, so they are this site's read time, not the board's (9 new listings).

Sample. 94 new listings from 11 Nov 2026, when this site began reading the job boards, to 14 Nov 2026, by the employer that lists them. Listings only.

Dated postings: new listings whose board gives a usable posting date inside the window. Weekend: Saturday and Sunday in UTC, as a share of the employer's average week (an even spread would give 28.6%); it and the busiest day read n/a until the employer's board has been read on every day of the week.

Busiest hour reads n/a for a board that gives a date without a time.

Rows with fewer than 21.5 dated postings are marked as a small sample and not ranked: below that the average of the rows weighs more than a row's own dated postings (the weight fitted on the rows' own counts).

Sample. 52 new listings from 11 Nov 2026, when this site began reading the job boards, to 14 Nov 2026 whose board gives a posting date and time inside the window.

Hours from the board's posting time to the first time this site read the role in the employer's public feed. Feeds are read every hour, so part of each lag is the wait for the next read; a lag of several days means the role reached the public feed well after the date its board gives.

Boards that give only a date are left out: their lag would run from midnight of the stated day.

Only new listings dated inside the window are measured, roles posted after this site began reading their board, so a lag cannot be longer than the time since then.

Employers with fewer than 3 postings measured are marked as a small sample: a median needs that many values, the fewest whose span holds the true middle more likely than not.

Sample. 3,347 apply clicks on CyberJobs.cc from 11 Nov 2026, when this site began reading the job boards, to 14 Nov 2026, by the weekday and hour they were made in UTC.

Human apply clicks on CyberJobs.cc, on a specific role or on an employer's general application or sign-up page. Counted site-wide, never by employer, from the day this site began reading the job boards.

Clicks follow where CyberJobs.cc visitors live and when they browse: every hour and day here is UTC (09:00 UTC is early morning in the Americas and evening in East Asia), so a peak shows when this audience is awake, not when the market as a whole applies.

The last column repeats the share of new postings from the posting figure, for comparison.

No weekday is a small sample: the weekdays differ so much that each reads on its own from its first day observed (the weight fitted on their own clicks).

For employers, recruiters and researchers

Buy the data behind this report

The figures above are a summary. Behind them are records we collect ourselves, every day:

  • 3,462 roles tracked, each with its history

    Every role on 696 job boards, read since 11 Nov 2026 (every hour since 11 Nov 2026): its pay and place, and the first and last day it was open.

  • 3,347 apply clicks in 4 days

    Which security roles people actually apply to, by specialty, pay and where the role is open. It happens on this site, so nobody else can count it.

  • fit checks of members against open roles

    How the people looking for security jobs here measure up against real postings, and what they lack when they fall short: years, a tool, a certification, a clearance.

What you can buy

  • The records

    The rows behind any figure, with their history, not only the totals.

  • A regular feed

    The same figures every week or month, as files.

  • A custom cut or benchmark

    Your countries, specialties or certifications, or your own company against the market.

Method and definitions

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.

Coverage
The employers whose public job boards CyberJobs.cc reads in full every hour, from 11 Nov 2026. Each figure states how many were read.
Listing date
The date the employer's job board gives for the posting, or else the first day the role appeared on the board. A role that arrived with an employer's back catalogue, or came into view with a change in how this site reads its board, and gives no date has no known listing date.
Window
Live: the last 28 complete days, in UTC. Edition: one calendar month, in UTC.

What this data cannot tell you

  • Employers that hire without a public job board, or post only on LinkedIn or through recruiters, are not counted; government agencies and most staffing firms are not read.
  • A listing is not a hire. Some employers keep a role open for months, and some post one listing per city or country.
  • Boards that publish a date without a time are counted by day only.

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.
