London-based recruitment consultancy placing cybersecurity, data, and AI specialists through permanent, contract, and executive search services across the UK.
Lacuna Talent is a London-headquartered recruitment consultancy operating in cybersecurity, data, and artificial intelligence. The firm traces its cybersecurity hiring work back to 2010 through its predecessor firm, Via Resource, and now places security, data, and AI specialists across the United Kingdom. Its stated operating model is quality over volume: personalized searches rather than bulk CV forwarding, with consultants positioned as advisors to both candidates and clients through the hiring process.
Three service lines cover the range of security career moves. Permanent Recruitment handles full-time placements for companies building out in-house security capability. Contract Recruitment covers interim and project-based staffing, where security teams typically need surge capacity for remediation programs, migrations, or compliance deadlines. Executive Search (Headhunting) targets senior and specialized hires - CISO-level and niche technical roles where the candidate pool is small and discretion matters.
The firm sets a floor of five years' sector-specific recruitment experience for every consultant, which in practice means the person screening you should know the difference between a detection engineer and a SOC analyst. Client sectors include financial services, retail, technology, and professional services, with named clients such as Domino's, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, EY, EasyJet, and Binance. The stated preference is for working with experienced professionals.
