The Market
Information Technology has come a long way in a very short space of time. The IT job market is a fast-changing environment, however, IT recruitment skills and career aspirations are sometimes not fully understood by those outside the industry. IT pay levels have shot up rapidly and often deviated from the traditional corporate pay structure, making hiring decisions all the more difficult for human resources staff. IT first appeared on the corporate organization chart a little more than two decades ago and it has taken time for decision makers to get used to this newcomer. InfoTech has played a key role in this process, helping to introduce quality IT staff to the right organization at the right time. Today, human resources practitioners and decision makers treasure InfoTech's ability to help them acquire and utilize IT talents and strengthen the industry as a whole.

Achievements
InfoTech is one of the longest established and largest IT executive search and staff services companies in Hong Kong. It experienced sustained sales and profit growth even during the difficult years after the burst of dot com bubble. It is believed that more than a quarter of the IT population in Hong Kong has been served by InfoTech as job seekers, placed candidates, contract staff or employers. InfoTech has an extensive client base that includes established IT users, IT vendors and the Hong Kong Government. In 2004, IBM ranked InfoTech number one among all IBM China/Hong Kong Limited appointed staff services core suppliers in Hong Kong.

History
InfoTech, headquartered in Hong Kong, was one of the city's first registered employment agencies. The company entered the Electronic Data Processing recruitment job market in 1989 when staff turnover was high due to the shortage of staff supply. InfoTech quickly established a reputation as a cost-effective and reliable source of IT talents. Job seekers trust InfoTech and know that InfoTech's recruiters understand their needs, speak their language and help develop their career. The use of contract staff or secondment services was rare in the early 1990s. The introduction of these services helped address difficulties of technical recruitment, allowing companies to tackle high staff turnover and release expensive staff without legal restraint upon completion of projects. InfoTech spearheaded contract staff services on a limited scale at various commercial establishments as a supplement to permanent staff placement. By the time InfoTech was awarded the Tender for the Provision of IT Contract Staff Services to the Hong Kong Government in 1994, it already had an established pool of contract staff in the commercial sector. InfoTech has been providing IT contract staff services to various government bureaux and departments for more than a decade. Contract staff services fit seamlessly in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) strategies of clients. Most IT vacancies in the job market these days are contractual by nature, while most contract positions are by and large governed by the payroll and headcount of the staffing vendor. InfoTech has become a market leader in this rapidly growing sector in Hong Kong.
