Enterprise IT skills shortages prompt DW People to expand into Melbourne
Announcement posted by DW People 14 Jul 2010
DW People (www.dwpeople.com.au), a specialist IT resourcing consultancy, has today announced an expansion into Melbourne, and the appointment of Matthew Trickett as principal consultant based in Sydney.
Founded in 2010, DW People specialises in helping organisations to fill enterprise computing roles. Services offered include contract and permanent placements, as well as consulting services focused around workforce planning, salary packaging, and migration.
As part of their expansion, DW People has appointed Matthew Trickett as principal consultant. A former professional ice hockey player representing the United Kingdom, his role will involve managing the consultancy, as well as growing the business and establishing a national presence. He has 12 years of experience working in IT recruitment across Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Matthew Trickett, principal consultant for DW People commented, “As business conditions have improved in 2010, many IT departments have needed to accelerate systems upgrades designed to support business growth. Many CIOs are scrambling to rebuild their teams after cutbacks in 2009, and recruitment and employee retention are taking up a lot of their time. DW People is opening a Melbourne office to support strong demand for enterprise IT skills in Victoria. We are actively looking for specialist recruitment consultants to expand our team.”
Matthew Trickett commented further, “The recent flood of IT projects has created critical shortages of IT specialists with in-depth CRM implementation experience, as well as business analysts and software developers experienced with reporting and customisation of financial back office systems. Contracting is the most realistic option for many organisations needing these skills, and short term 3 to 6 month contracts are becoming more common.”
