Resourcing

The people you need, when you need them

The way organisations use technology is directly tied to outcomes. According to a report by the Australian Government, ‘persistent innovators’ significantly out-perform less progressive rivals. Innovation requires access to the right technology resources, and at a time of fierce competition to hire and retain IT professionals, it pays to be open to a new approach.

New challenges need modern solutions

IT talent is in significant demand. We’ve observed a 50% increase in headhunting in the last year as organisations fight to secure resources. Salaries and day rates have increased, and for many organisations, this has led to budget overspend and project delays or downtime. Insufficient availability, reduced immigration numbers, and heavy demand have all added to the pressure.

Data^#3 has expanded its Recruitment and Contracting offerings by introducing flexible staff Augmentation Services. These bridge the gap between contingent workforces and traditional skill sourcing.

Now is an exciting time to be a technology professional. There is a wealth of opportunities on offer for the right skills. Choosing the right role, whether contract or permanent, can accelerate your career in the direction you want.

Data^#3 is an award-winning IT services and solutions provider with a rich history working with enterprise, government, and non-profit organisations. We use this depth of knowledge to narrow down opportunities to those we know will be a great fit for your skills and experience. Taking into account your future aspirations, we guide you through the entire process, supporting you long after your contract is signed.

Our portal

We think it is important that all our workforce feels like part of the team. That’s why every contractor has access to our Resourcing Team Portal, where they can track all their information and log support requests. You can securely update your personal and financial details, submit timesheets, and even complete training. The portal gives you access to our policies and has a notice board for important updates and invitations to events and webinars.

Organisations often need to supplement their existing workforce for a variety of reasons. In a competitive market, it can be challenging or unaffordable to source and retain certain skills. There may be seasonal or project-based demand peaks, and the process of hiring can be unpredictable.

Strategic augmentation is a managed process that ensures you have reliable access to the skilled IT resources you need, at a predictable cost, without working through lengthy recruitment processes. Payroll tax and Workcover are included, so your monthly bill only changes if you choose to scale up or down.

We work with trusted partners to source expertise locally and worldwide. No matter how scarce the skillset, we will find you the right person.

How it works

Data^#3 experts undertake a capability and technical assessment to ensure we fully understand your needs, then carefully select staff with the skills and experience that best complement your existing team. While our augmentation resources work as a member of your team, managed day-to-day in your own organisation, they have access to our broader team of experts across a wide range of disciplines.

The opportunity for knowledge transfer means your existing team can develop their own capabilities in new areas and gain valuable experience. This typically leads to improved job satisfaction and team morale, helping you retain staff while enjoying the benefits of their widened skillset.

A cost-effective outcome

Depending on your situation and budget, we work with you to obtain the ideal onshore or offshore resources, or a hybrid solution that blends top worldwide talent with perfectly positioned local skills. This gives you a cost-effective, best-of-both-worlds outcome.
