Our focus

Caught up in the daily grind, we sometimes forget how exciting the Information Technology field really is. Technology (whether it be the Internet, mobile applications or software development) is evolving to improve pretty much every aspect of our lives.

Having a library of books at our finger tips, searching for cheap airline tickets, improved medical care, reduced costs of making phone calls anywhere in the World, and allowing many people to take an active role in their own investment decisions are just some of the areas where technology has reshaped the way we live our lives.

In fact, Information Technology is such a critical component for most companies that, whether they realise it or not, they have in effect become I.T. companies themselves.

At CPC International we are proud to be a part of this world by helping companies find top level staff for both permanent and contract positions. We are equally proud of helping many individuals find the next step in their career.

We know the IT Industry

But developing successful computer software is a challenging and complex business. Applications are complex, the requirements stringent, security issues need to be addressed and technology itself is constantly changing.

Because we have actual real world experience in the industry and specialise in Information Technology both clients and candidates can feel confident that we understand their needs. Clients can be assured that we will only recommend candidates that meet their requirements. Candidates, in turn, can be assured that we will only recommend positions that will help them develop their careers.

However, we don't just focus on software development and support positions. We also deal with senior management and sales, sales management and sales support positions.

Sales, Sales Support and Management

Software vendors and consulting organisations operate in a very demanding and competitive world. To be successful they need to hire the best people possible.

Sales Positions

There can be little doubt that these are critical positions to fill, after all if you don’t sell the company dies. Yet the sales model is changing and the days of Willy Loman are long gone. Companies need to find the top performers yet how do they find them? They  can't limit themselves to hiring only those candidates that approach them. Many of the best sales people are not actively looking to change jobs - they are just too busy selling!

Pre and Post Sales Support

While the sales force is responsible for driving the sales process, no less important is the sales support team. They can make or break a sale. They create the professional aura that is necessary to make prospective clients comfortable with the buying decision. In fact, they often spend more time dealing with a client than the sales force. They need to combine technical smarts and a consultative approach with an awareness of the sales process and the economics underlying it. Not always an easy combination to find.

Executives and Senior Management

Leadership, whether it be at the CEO / President level or other senior management ranks is another critical component of a corporation's success. CPC can help software and consulting companies grow by finding leaders with vision and managers who can lead and inspire a team.

Financial Services

The financial services industry constitutes the largest group of companies in the world in terms of earnings and equity market cap. It is an exciting business that has developed from a staid slow moving world to one that is dynamic and continually evolving. Sophisticated financial instruments, such as derivatives, have changed the market for ever. 

In addition, well publicised incidents and “irrational exuberance" have resulted in a flood of additional regulatory and compliance legislation. As a result, issues such as risk management have come to the fore and resulted in a demand for professionals who can not only identify but can quantify risk and exposure. Because of our work in supplying IT professionals to financial institutions we have occasionally been involved in dealing with these positions as well.
