About CISO Talent Network

A cybersecurity hiring platform built to replace the recruiter middleman with something better — direct access to decision makers, for everyone from beginner to CISO.

Why We Built This

Cybersecurity hiring is broken. Entry-level jobs demand "3–5 years of experience." Resumes disappear into applicant tracking systems. Recruiters charge hiring companies 20–30% of first-year salary to be a middleman between a candidate and a job posting that was already public.

The CISO Talent Network cuts all of that out. You apply directly. You interview with an AI — no scheduling, no waiting weeks for a callback. Your scored profile goes directly in front of CISO Marketplace member companies. They reach out. No algorithm, no sponsored listings, no corporate bloatware.

It's free for candidates. Always.

Who It's For

Every path in information security. Not just senior people with LinkedIn profiles.

🎓 Community college students
🪖 Military veterans entering civilian infosec
🏫 High school & vocational / technical programs
🏆 CCDC / CTF competition players
🔄 Career changers from any field
🌱 HackerNoob → first security role
📈 Analyst → Engineer → Architect track
🛡️ CISO → compliance / advisory transition

If you're building a career in cybersecurity and you're tired of Indeed, LinkedIn, and recruiter spam — this is for you.

What Makes It Different

Not a Job Board

Your profile is stored in our talent network database and surfaced directly to CISO Marketplace member companies — not posted on a public job board for anyone to spam.

AI-Scored, Not Resume-Screened

A 25-minute structured voice interview with Alex, our AI interviewer, replaces the resume black hole. Your technical and scenario skills are scored and attached to your profile.

Direct to Decision Makers

CISO Marketplace members are security leaders and hiring managers — not HR generalists. Your scored profile lands in front of the people who actually make the call.
