Growing IT SME

Dedicated sales leadership embedded in your business to drive consistent growth.

Contracting is a brilliant career path - until the market shifts, a gig ends suddenly, or recruiters stop returning calls.

For too many 45+ IT contractors, the hardest part isn’t the work - it’s staying visible between gigs & being valued during them.

 

CareerAGENT fixes that.

 

We don't recruit —

we represent YOU.

Whether you're building your solo contracting career or scaling an IT SME, we're your advocates, not middlemen.

Why CareerAGENT Exists

Because you shouldn’t lose visibility every time a project wraps.

Because ageism and bias shut out too many experienced contractors.

Because recruiters serve employers - not you.

Because the market rewards noise, not experience.
 
And because the people who helped build Australia’s tech industry -
the 45+ professionals - deserve advocacy, not neglect.
 
CareerAGENT is your commercial partner, career manager & advocate in an industry that often forgets its most experienced people.
