What cybersecurity employers are hiring for
A cybersecurity client asks: Which vendors are actually building a detection team, and which are only hiring sellers?
RoleDemand answers it from the career pages of the employers you name, read again every day, with every figure traceable to the employer that published it.
No signup. A person builds it and sends it back.

Employers here are registered: they are on the seeded roster on disk and the pipeline is configured to read them. That is a count of the roster, not of employers collected from, and no collected count is published on this site. A client dashboard is built from their own employer list. Daily is the schedule this seeded market is enrolled in, read off the same configuration the run reads. It is not a record of what the last run published: a run whose data is too thin is refused by the quality gate rather than published, so a scheduled market can pass a morning without a new build.
What does RoleDemand cover in cybersecurity?
RoleDemand tracks the cybersecurity employers you name and reads their open roles from their own career pages every day. The seeded market covers security software vendors, managed detection and response providers, penetration testing and offensive security consultancies, compliance-automation platforms, identity and network security firms, and security training providers across the UK and Europe.
The seeded market covers 16 countries, United Kingdom first.
Geography, employer list and role groupings are all set when a market is scoped, so yours can be narrower or wider than this one.
Which cybersecurity roles does it track?
All of them, then grouped by function and seniority so a desk can read the market at a glance. In cybersecurity that usually means detection engineering, offensive security, security architecture, and the sales engineers who sell all of it.
Classification runs on every posting: function, seniority and the skills named in the description.
What moves cybersecurity hiring?
The ratio between engineering roles and revenue roles at a vendor. A security company that is advertising six account executives and no detection engineers is selling a product it has stopped building, and that is worth knowing before you take the brief.
None of that is a prediction. It describes what employers advertise and when, and it is why a daily read of a whole market beats a monthly read of a few: the roles that tell you something arrive before the announcement, and they are only visible while they are open.
Why is cybersecurity hiring hard to track by hand?
The 108 employers in the seeded cybersecurity market publish their vacancies through 13 different applicant tracking platforms. 44 on Greenhouse, 21 on Ashby, 11 on Pinpoint, and the remaining 32 spread across 10 more. Reading that market by hand means opening 108 careers pages that behave 13 different ways, every day, before anyone has made a call.
| Applicant tracking platform | Employers |
|---|---|
| Greenhouse | 44 |
| Ashby | 21 |
| Pinpoint | 11 |
| 10 other platforms | 32 |
RoleDemand supports every system in that table, and 34 career systems in all, which is what makes a daily pass over a whole market practical. Supported is the claim the probe backs: each of the 34 answered through its own code against a live public tenant. The full list and the stages of a run are on the answers page.
Counted from the seeded roster on disk, not estimated. A client's own dashboard is built from their employer list rather than from this one.
How many cybersecurity employers are already registered?
The seeded cybersecurity market carries 108 employers on its register, every one of them a real business whose public applicant tracking endpoint was checked by hand. Registered means the pipeline is configured to read them; it is not a count of employers it has collected from, and this site publishes no collected count. How many your own roster holds is set by the plan: Core tracks up to 25, Pro up to 100.
An employer joins a roster only after their careers endpoint has been fetched and the response read. An endpoint that could not be confirmed is left out rather than recorded optimistically.
How current is the data in a cybersecurity market?
It refreshes every day. A run collects each employer's open roles, works out what opened and closed since the previous cycle, and rebuilds the dashboard, so a consultant is quoting the last 24 hours rather than the last quarter.
The public sample dashboard is a build of the renewable energy market rather than this one. The interface, the modules and the briefing are the same in every market; only the employers and the role groupings change.
What does cybersecurity hiring intelligence cost?
RoleDemand Core costs £169 a month and tracks up to 25 cybersecurity employers. RoleDemand Pro costs £299 a month and tracks up to 100. Both are per agency rather than per seat, setting the cybersecurity market up is included, and an agency that finds the first briefing unhelpful can cancel inside 30 days. The minimum term is 3 months, the founding rate is held for 12 months, and there is no setup fee.
The full terms are with the plans.
The terms in figures: a 3-month minimum, 30 days to cancel from the first briefing, the founding rate held for 12 months, and no setup fee.
