Similar to my previous post, this is a count of the open InfoSec jobs on well-known job hunting sites. I have added hotjobs.com on the list.
I used the InfoSec certification abbreviations as a search string and did not specify any U.S. city or zip code and came up the following numbers.
CareerBuilder.com
CCNA - 1379
CISSP - 402
CISA - 344
CISM - 68
GIAC - 67
SSCP - 22
GSEC - 16
CEH - 11
DICE.com
CCNA - 761
CISSP - 730
CISA - 195
GIAC - 136
CISM - 133
GSEC - 63
SSCP - 52
CEH - 26
Monster.com
CISSP - 697
CCNA - 663
CISA - 491
CISM - 114
GIAC - 91
SSCP - 58
GSEC - 38
CEH - 23
Hotjobs.com
CISSP - 227
CCNA - 222
CISM - 162
CISA - 149
GIAC - 24
SSCP - 18
GSEC - 13
CEH - 6
Please note though that this is just a count of the strings on the websites so this cannot represent the actual number of job openings. A company can post their job opening on the 3 websites below and it will be counted as 3 (one for each site below) instead of 1. Also, some jobs list several certifications on their posting, e.g. CISSP, CISA, CEH certified, so an open position with this criteria will have a count for each of the InfoSec certification listed, i.e. 1 for CISSP, 1 for CISA and 1 for CEH, even though the open position is only 1.
The job search results for CareerBuilder and Dice websites only listed the jobs posted within the last 30 days while Monster showed jobs for the last 60 days and Hotjobs is showing any open position on it's database. I will try to create another count in about a month so. Please let me know if you want me to add other InfoSec certifications or other job hunting websites on the list.
