IT People - Recruitment

According to Mr Lacy, membership to the iProfile club will be limited to a select group of recruiters for the first two years.

"There's a foundation membership of 10 companies and they're going to have a lead time of two years before any others can come into it," says Mr Lacy.

"They will be iProfile partners and they have to be members of ITCRA. iProfile has appointed a managing director (Glen Perry), he will be arriving in September and ITCRA will be represented on the board of the new company that's being formed."

Mr Lacy says the initial membership of the iProfile partners club is just about full already.

"There's a foundation membership of 10 companies and it's pretty much taken up but I think there may be one or two vacancies," he says.

Interestingly, however, just four Australian recruiters have been named to date, ICT specialist heavyweights Paxus and Finite, and smaller recruiters Ambition and Abraxas Asia Pacific, neither of which is an ICT specialist.

Missing from the list named so far are the likes of Peoplebank, the largest ICT recruiter in Australia, Hays, Candle ICT (the largest division of Clarius), Diversiti (Chandler McLeod), Ross and Hudson, among others.

So are Peoplebank and the others lining up to covet the last "one or two" vacancies?

Mr Lacy's coy reply: "It's possible."
