SecuJob: Bridging Education and Career Development in Cybersecurity

Heatwave Corporation, based in Tokyo, has unveiled SecuJob, a new recruitment site dedicated to bridging the gap in the cybersecurity workforce. At its core, SecuJob not only serves as a job portal but as an integrated platform that connects education, skills assessment, and career opportunities together.

With the persistent issue of talent shortages in the cybersecurity field, companies are often struggling to secure skilled professionals who can immediately contribute upon hiring. By offering a seamless flow from education to employment, SecuJob aims to minimize mismatch between job seekers and companies and contribute positively to overcoming this social challenge.

Features of SecuJob

For Job Seekers

SecuJob allows job seekers to focus specifically on cybersecurity roles, with an emphasis on positions such as SOC Analysts, CSIRT personnel, Security Engineers, and Penetration Testers. Candidates will have access to a curated list of specialized job listings that cater to their professional skill set. The entire application process is streamlined: after participating in educational courses at Heatwave’s security training school, SecuJuku, job seekers can take a skills assessment before applying to jobs that fit their new qualifications.

The platform showcases real success stories, such as that of a 20-year-old SOC Operator transitioning to a Security Engineer, improving his salary from ¥3.8 million to ¥5.2 million. Similarly, a 30-year-old Infrastructure Engineer became a CSIRT personnel and saw an increase in pay from ¥4.5 million to ¥6.5 million, illustrating the potential for significant career enhancement through SecuJob.

For Hiring Companies

On the flip side, SecuJob allows companies direct access to a pool of pre-trained talent. These candidates have undergone structured learning at SecuJuku and are ready for immediate employment. By utilizing skills assessment reports, companies can efficiently reduce hiring mismatches and ensure they find the right fit for their vacant roles. Moreover, collaboration with SecuJuku sheds light on a company’s commitment to nurturing talent, enhancing their employer brand in the process.

Real-Life Success Stories

For instance, one remarkable achievement includes an individual in their 40s who transitioned from no experience to becoming an SOC Analyst, notably improving their annual income by ¥2 million. Furthermore, graduates of the white-hat hacker training program have secured positions with major security vendors, serving as immediate assets to their new employers.
