Listed Australian IT services provider, CSG (ASX:CSV), has entered the technology recruitment market with the launch of a new recruitment business, CSG People, offering contracting and permanent IT recruitment services for its own customers.
CSG managing director, Denis MacKenzie, says the
company will specialise in recruiting high quality IT professionals for
its customers across a variety of industries, initially in Melbourne,
with plans to expand across Australia in the near future.
MacKenzie said a former general manager of a multinational recruitment
business, Murray Withington, will manage the entry and growth of CSG
People into the Melbourne market and later throughout Australia.
Withington said CSG People would focus on providing “quality IT
professionals who are the right fit for our customers. To do this we
will be concentrating on building long lasting relationships, rather
than one-off sales.
“CSG People will perfectly complement CSG’s core offering, enabling it
to further support its clients’ IT departments and I am confident that
with this approach we will grow rapidly even in these trying economic
times.”
“I am excited about growing CSG People and it being recognized as a
leader in the provision of IT recruitment services not just in
Melbourne but across Australia.”
According to Denis MacKenzie, CSG has enjoyed rapid growth despite the
economic downturn, posting "impressive yearly results including a 48%
increase in revenue to $197.3 million and a 24% increase in net profit
after tax to $22.3million.”
