Sydney’s Technology & Digital Sector

Sydney is Australia’s tech hub; ranked 11th in the Global FinTech Hub ranking by city. Home to a diverse range of companies from small start-ups to multinational corporations, demand for skilled IT professionals is rapidly growing. According to ACS Digital Pulse, NSW’s tech workforce is projected to exceed 930,000 professionals by 2035, with more than 562,000 new tech jobs expected over the next decade.

Despite growth, NSW faces a projected shortfall of 85,000 tech workers by 2030 (Accenture/NSW Government ICT Industry Landscape Report). As more businesses place more reliance on internal digital resources, competition for IT, tech, and digital talent is more fierce than ever.

Ignite provides IT recruitment services for software engineers, business analysts, IT field technicians, network engineering, data engineering, and ICT. When it comes to IT recruitment in Sydney, few recruiters understand Sydney’s IT market as deeply as Ignite.

We make use of our talent database of more than 870,000 candidates to find the best professional for you. We also utilise industry and networking events to source new clients who could be a good fit – in many cases, the best talent is not always actively looking.

If required, we carry out technical assessments to verify an IT candidate’s skills and ability to work in the role.

5. References

Each candidate’s skills, experience, and suitability to the role are checked via comprehensive references.

6. Candidate Placement

We will put forward the candidates we think are right for your role and give you the freedom to decide whether you want to offer them the job.

7. Ongoing support

You’ll get a dedicated account manager who oversees the recruitment process, provides continuous updates and will clarify any questions. From there, we will stay in touch after a candidate has been hired to ensure a smooth onboarding and integration into your organisation.
