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.
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.
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
Buries the finding in jargon that no one acts on.

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.
We test detection and response judgment. We walk through real alerts and incidents a candidate has worked, probe how they triaged, what they escalated and what they dismissed, and how they handled alert fatigue without missing the signal that mattered. Monitoring is easy to claim and hard to do well, so we screen for the judgment.
A security analyst monitors, detects, and responds to threats, while a cybersecurity engineer builds and hardens the defenses. We match to the side of the house you are staffing.
Monitoring and response usually favour permanent hires for continuity, though contract analysts can cover a coverage gap or a specific stand-up. We will tell you which fits.
You will typically see a first vetted candidate within 24 to 48 hours and a calibrated shortlist within about five business days. Security bands move quickly, so we benchmark against recent placements.
Permanent hires are success-based: you pay only when someone starts, with no upfront fee, backed by our 90-day guarantee. Contract runs on a transparent hourly rate. We will walk you through the specifics on an intro call.
