About TriTech Search

Founded by operators who saw the category being done badly and chose to do it better. UK-owned, specialist by design, measured on retention.

Why we exist

TriTech Search was founded in May 2026 by two principals with operating experience across recruitment, cyber sales, and the buyer side of regulated environments.

We started this firm because we believe the category can be done better. Most cyber recruitment competes on scarcity narratives that no longer hold. Time-to-fill has replaced fit. Volume has replaced judgement. The work is changing faster than the industry knows how to respond to.

We built TriTech Search to solve the real problem. Better scoping. Better matching. Retention as the primary metric. The platform and the methodology to support it.

The founders

Carl McCulloch

I’m a business leader, entrepreneur, and recruitment specialist with nearly two decades of experience building and growing organisations across recruitment, events, charitable initiatives, and commercial ventures.

As Co-Founder of TriTech Search, I draw on my experience in talent acquisition, business development, and strategic growth to help organisations secure exceptional talent and build long-term partnerships. I’m also Managing Director of TRAK Employment Solutions, a recruitment business I’ve led since 2007 and grown into a trusted staffing partner for organisations across the UK, providing temporary and permanent workforce solutions across a wide range of industries.

Beyond recruitment, I’m passionate about ventures that make a positive impact. As Chief Executive Officer of Best Mates, I’m committed to supporting individuals facing life’s challenges through connection, understanding, and community. In 2026 I became Chief Commercial Officer at Horizn Golf, leading commercial strategy, brand partnerships, and business development as we bring a fresh approach to the golf apparel market.

Everything I do is built around people. Whether I’m helping businesses grow, supporting charitable causes, or building new ventures, I believe strong relationships, trust, and a genuine commitment to delivering value are the foundations of long-term success.

I’m Co-Founder and Director of TriTech Search, a specialist consultancy connecting people with organisations working in technology, cybersecurity, cloud, digital transformation, and national security.

I’ve spent the past decade across recruitment, technology sales, business development, and talent acquisition. I work with technology companies, consultancies, government departments, defence organisations, and high-growth businesses to help them attract and retain the talent they need, with particular depth in Government, Defence, National Security, and MOD environments. My remit spans software engineering, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, data, AI, DevOps, digital transformation, and technology leadership.

For me, recruitment is about understanding people, building trust, and creating long-term partnerships rather than simply filling vacancies. Integrity, honesty, and professionalism sit at the heart of how I work, and I take pride in being transparent and dependable in an industry that too often prioritises speed over quality.

Outside work, I’m a keen sports enthusiast and a proud Ambassador for Lashings World, working alongside some of the biggest names in sport. I’m also a supporter of Best Mates, a charity dedicated to improving wellbeing by building stronger connections and support networks within communities.

If you’re looking to grow your team, explore new opportunities, or talk through the technology market, I’d be glad to connect.

What we stand for

Specialism over volume

We chose three verticals and we go deep. We do not chase every role that crosses our desk.

Retention over placement count

We measure ourselves on whether placements are still in role twelve months later. The metric changes the work.

Judgement over automation

Our platform removes administrative burden, but the matching decisions are made by consultants with operating experience. Technology supports judgement. It does not replace it.

Discretion by default

We apply the discretion the cleared sector requires across all our work, not just where the client demands it.
