VulnU Jobs vs LinkedIn
LinkedIn is for everyone. This is for security.
Security hiring breaks on generic tools: no clearance field, no idea what "security engineer" means this week, and practitioners who ignore cold InMail. VulnU Jobs is built for one field, by people the field already reads.
| VulnU Jobs | ||
|---|---|---|
| Who is on it | Only security roles, at every kind of company. | Every job in every field. Security roles sit next to sales and marketing. |
| Security clearance | A first-class field on every role and every candidate profile, from Public Trust to TS/SCI + Poly. | No clearance field on profiles. Recruiters search keywords. |
| Specialty | AppSec, Detection & Response, GRC, Cloud, Architecture, Hardware & Embedded and more, and a role can sit in several. | Generic job functions. "Information Technology" covers the whole field. |
| Pay | Every candidate sets a salary floor. Posted ranges feed public benchmarks by specialty, level and city. | Pay ranges are optional on postings. |
| Benefits | Researched per company: real parental-leave weeks, retirement match, PTO policy. Candidates filter on them. | Whatever the posting says, if anything. |
| Candidate privacy | Anonymous until the candidate says yes to a specific intro. Their current employer is always blocked. | Public profiles. "Open to work" is visible to everyone unless you limit it to recruiters. |
| Who reaches out | An intro from Vulnerable U, a source security people already read every week. | Cold InMail from a stranger. |
| Reach | Vulnerable U: 33,000+ security practitioners by email weekly, 300,000+ across YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok and Threads. | Huge, and mostly outside security. |
| Cost to list a role | Free. Pay only to reach more people. | Free basic posts; pay to promote them. |
