The /r/netsec Information Security Hiring Thread for Q4 2025 has officially launched, marking a pivotal moment for employers and job seekers in the cybersecurity space. This highly anticipated recurring thread serves as a direct channel for companies to tap into one of the most specialized talent pools on the internet. Unlike generic job boards, this forum connects hiring managers directly with passionate security professionals, ranging from seasoned analysts to students seeking internships.
For this quarter, the moderation team is emphasizing transparency and realism. Recruiters are required to list the company name, location, and remote work policies upfront. Notably, the thread explicitly encourages the use of “non-HR’d” requirements—meaning realistic skill expectations rather than laundry lists of buzzwords. Additionally, third-party recruiters must disclose their status, and visa or clearance requirements must be clearly stated to avoid wasting anyone’s time.
If you are looking to hire or are hunting for a new role in penetration testing, incident response, or security engineering, this thread is currently the place to be.
