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.
