About Us

The Scenario
Information Technology (IT) has come a long way in a very short space of time. IT job market is fast-changing, 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 general corporate pay structure, making hiring decisions all the more difficult for human resources practitioners. Electronic Data Processing (EDP) and Management Information System (MIS) first appeared on the corporate organization chart more than three decades ago and it had taken time for human resources decision makers to get used to it. InfoTech has played a key role in this process, helping to introduce quality EDP or MIS staff to the right organization at the right time. Today, 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 staff search and supply services vendors in Hong Kong. We experienced sustained sales and profit growth even during the difficult years after the burst of dot-com bubble. The need for InfoTech's services increases as our society is getting more focused on innovation and technology. It is believed that about a third of the IT population in Hong Kong has been served by InfoTech, no matter as job seekers, placed candidates, contract staff or employers. InfoTech has an extensive client base that includes established users, vendors and the Government.
History
InfoTech, headquarters in Hong Kong, is one of the city's first registered employment agencies. We entered the EDP staff recruitment job market in 1989 when IT 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, jargon and help develop their career. The use of contract staff or secondment service was rare in the early 1990s, the introduction of contract staff service helped address difficulties of IT recruitment, allowing companies to tackle high staff turnover and relieve payroll burden upon the completion of projects. InfoTech spearheaded IT contract staff service on a limited scale with various commercial establishments as 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 had already built a 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 three decades. Contract staff services fit seamlessly in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) strategies of clients. Many IT vacancies in the job market these days are contractual by nature, while most contract positions are by and large employed under the payroll and headcount of the staffing provider. InfoTech has become the market leader in this growing sector in Hong Kong.
