A key feature of the TECHNATION CareerFinder is an interactive heatmap that includes real-time data from online job postings, displaying cybersecurity jobs currently available across the country. In addition, the site offers a unique and ground-breaking capability – the ability to identify desired technical and non-technical skills based on employer demand. It also includes helpful information such as average salary information and job descriptions.
“Cyber risk is an absolute reality for businesses of any size and across all sectors. In fact, it’s cited as one of the top 10 global risks in the Global Risk Report 2020 World Economic Forum,” noted Angela Mondou, president and CEO, TECHNATION. “The demand for cybersecurity talent is increasing rapidly. Our CareerFinder tool enables job seekers to quickly identify what roles exist within and across this dynamic field, and offers employers help in defining and finding the talent they need.”
TECHNATION’s CareerFinder is simple and convenient for all users. Students and job seekers can identify requirements that can guide their learning. Employers can use the information to plan strategic growth and use the job description writer to help find their next cybersecurity hire. Educators and trainers can use it to hone their programs to meet emerging demand. As well, it provides up to the minute cybersecurity labour market information to identify workforce challenges and opportunities.

“As our country enters into the next phase of recovery from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, TECHNATION’s CareerFinder will help support employers, educators, students and job seekers. This innovative resource will help Canadians identify the skills needed to help grow the cybersecurity industry and will help them find quality job opportunities in our evolving economy,” said the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Carla Qualtrough.
Funded, in part, by the Government of Canada’s Sectoral Initiatives Program, TECHNATION’s CareerFinder was developed under the guidance of the Tri-sector Cybersecurity Talent Alliance, and in collaboration with SkyHive, a world leading artificial intelligence (AI) company based out of Vancouver, BC.
“We are excited to work with TECHNATION in addressing Canada’s cybersecurity talent shortage,” says Sean Hinton, Founder and CEO of SkyHive. “By providing unprecedented, real-time labour market insights to individuals, learning institutions and employers, we will empower Canadians to pursue careers in emerging fields that align with their skills, strengths, and aspirations.”
