The hunt for cybersecurity expertise is heating up as we enter Q4 2025. The /r/netsec subreddit, a central hub for information security professionals, has officially opened its quarterly hiring thread. This initiative serves as a direct pipeline for companies seeking to tap into a niche audience of skilled security practitioners and researchers.
Unlike broad-spectrum job boards, this thread emphasizes transparency and direct engagement. Companies are required to list specific details, including geographic location, remote availability, and realistic technical requirements rather than generic HR buzzwords. Crucially, third-party recruiters must disclose their status, and companies are encouraged to list internship-level positions to support emerging talent.
For job seekers, this thread offers a curated list of high-quality opportunities without the noise of traditional recruitment sites. The focus on ‘non-HR’d’ requirements suggests a move towards prioritizing practical skills and verifiable experience over credentialism. As the industry continues to face a skills gap, community-driven hiring threads remain one of the most effective ways to match specialized talent with roles that require deep technical knowledge.
