The Client
SecureIT Services is a managed service provider (MSP) based in Perth, Western Australia, led by Darren Perera. When faced with the unexpected departure of existing tech personnel, Darren urgently needed to find two qualified Level 1 IT technicians to maintain business operations.
The Challenge
With a sudden vacancy in their tech support team, SecureIT required candidates who could demonstrate great customer service and tech skills with a passion for technology. However, sourcing and vetting suitable applicants can be a lengthy process that distracts from core business activities, especially when hiring needs arise unexpectedly. Darren recognised the importance of partnering with a knowledgeable recruiter who could efficiently identify the right fit for their organisation.

“This was a challenge for me. The urgency of the situation was critical, and it wasn’t just for one candidate, but two who needed to replace the engineer who’d resigned.”
