Hire Security Analysts

Screened for analysts who find the real signal in the noise, fast.

Why STACK IT

Built to hire security analysts, not fill seats.

Most agencies optimize for volume. We optimize for the one hire who’s right, vetted by people who understand the work.

A calibrated 3–5 person shortlistTypically within five business days, candidates chosen for your team, not a résumé flood.

Recruiters who speak SOC

We screen for how an analyst triages alerts, separates signal from noise, and investigates under pressure, not just lists tools. No candidate reaches you without two recruiters signing off.

Every candidate is real

Fake profiles, proxy interviews, and AI-assisted answers are everywhere in tech hiring. We meet each candidate face-to-face on video and screen for AI patterns, so who you interview is who shows up.

Screened to stay, not just to start

A hire that leaves in a year isn't a win. We align trajectory, growth, and total comp so the security analyst grows with your team instead of moving on.

You pay only when they start

Success-based and non-exclusive, no upfront fees, no retainers. We invoice on your security analyst's first day, not before.

How we screen

The Security Analysts Evaluation Rubric.

We screen for how security analysts actually think. Every shortlist is judged against the same five criteria that predict whether someone delivers in your codebase.

Open any criterion to see what separates a strong hire

Strong signal

Cuts through alert noise fast and escalates the few that actually matter.

Falls short

Drowns in alerts or chases every false positive.

Strong signal

Follows the evidence across logs and systems to the real root cause.

Falls short

Stops at the first finding and misses the wider compromise.

Strong signal

Knows their SIEM and EDR deeply and tunes them to cut the noise.

Falls short

Runs the tools on defaults and trusts the dashboard blindly.

Strong signal

Moves calmly through containment and keeps the right people informed.

Falls short

Freezes or goes solo when an incident escalates.

Strong signal

Explains a threat and its impact in terms the business can act on.

Falls short

The cost of waiting

An open role isn’t free.

An empty seat doesn’t delay work, it redistributes it. The longer the search drags, the more it costs.

Every week a role stays open, the cost lands on the team you already have.

  • Work waits in the backlog while priorities pile up.
  • They cover work that isn’t theirs, until something slips.
  • The longer the seat stays empty, the harder the restart.

Speed isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between a gap and a setback.

FAQ

Hiring security analysts, answered.

The questions teams usually ask before starting a search with us.

Recruiter-led and scenario-based, not a checklist. We walk through real incidents to see how they triaged alerts, ran down a threat, and communicated under pressure. Every candidate is met face-to-face over video, the same practice behind our AI hiring fraud protection, and no one reaches your inbox until a second reviewer signs off.

You'll typically see your first qualified candidate within 24–48 hours, and a calibrated shortlist of three to five within about five business days. Most permanent roles close in two to three weeks; contract placements often start within 5–10 business days.

For permanent hires it's success-based: you pay only when a candidate starts, with no upfront fee or retainer. Contract placements run on a transparent hourly rate that already covers payroll, compliance, and onboarding. There's no cost to simply engage us.

Permanent placements are backed by our 90-day replacement guarantee: if it doesn't work out within the first 90 days, we replace them at no charge. It's part of how we stay accountable long after the placement. For contract roles, our backfill guarantee means we replace a contractor quickly and at no extra cost if they exit early.

No. We work non-exclusively by default, so you can keep your internal sourcing running or use other firms alongside us. We'd rather earn repeat business through results than lock you into an agreement. We just work best when feedback is quick and expectations are clear.
