Organisations we have provided IT recruitment for

The Gold Coast’s IT & Technology Sector

The Gold Coast has the largest regional economy in Australia and technology is one of its fastest-growing sectors.

There’s no shortage of IT roles, particularly as the city is home to major research hubs like Griffith University and Bond University, and there is a consistent rise in the number of tech start-ups.

With increasing opportunities and a strong work-life balance, tech professionals are seeing the appeal of relocating to the Gold Coast and enjoying a life outside of bigger cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. This means that competition for skilled IT professionals is higher than ever.

Finding the right people takes time and resources. That’s where Ignite comes in. Your dedicated recruitment manager will handle the complete hiring process using tried and tested recruitment strategies, including sourcing candidates, assessing skills, and ensuring a smooth onboarding experience for everyone.
