In 2024, Gary Billings founded TECHTRACE PARTNERS after recognizing a critical gap in specialist cyber security recruitment. While generalist agencies struggled to identify and place elite technical talent, organisations building mission-critical security teams needed more precision. The company emerged from a simple insight: when the stakes involve protecting critical national infrastructure and defending against sophisticated threats, cookie-cutter recruitment approaches fall short.
TECHTRACE PARTNERS was built to trace and secure the specialists who power the world's most demanding security environments - from CNI defence sites requiring DV clearance to offensive security teams needing CHECK-certified consultants. Operating across the UK, US, and UAE markets, the firm partners closely with cybersecurity consultancies, MSSPs, and end-user organisations to deliver precision talent acquisition for both contract and permanent placements. Whether sourcing for SOCs built on Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk, or assembling teams of penetration testers holding CTM and CRT certifications, TECHTRACE PARTNERS brings deep technical understanding to specialist hiring.
