We place specialist contractors and run consulting engagements across government and the private sector. Whether you're hiring someone hard to find, or you're the kind of person who's hard to find, we know where to start the conversation.
Most of our work is with federal agencies. But we aren't only a government shop. We place people and run engagements across corporate and enterprise IT too. The common thread is the specialist end of the market, the roles and teams that are hard to fill.
Where we're deepest. Defence, the ATO, Department of Health, the AEC, the ASIC and others. Cleared people up to PV. Current on both Digital Marketplace panels.
Australian enterprise IT, usually data and AI work. Same community, same approach, no panel paperwork.
We help vendors land and grow in the Australian market, and partner with consulting firms that need niche capability they don't have in-house.
Pick whichever fits. Or ask, and we'll tell you which makes more sense for what you're trying to do.
Most resourcing firms fish from the same small pond of available contractors. We don't. Our 700+ community is mostly people already working in IT, and they surface roles and recommend the best people for them long before those roles hit a job board.
Either from you directly, or surfaced inside the community by someone already at the client who sees what's needed. Either way we know the brief before anyone else does.
Recruiters who understand the tech sift candidates, check clearances where relevant, call references. You get a short, honest shortlist, not fifteen CVs that all look the same.
Once someone's placed we keep in touch. If something isn't working we want to hear about it early. If they're great we want to put them on more things.
Eccoi has been around since 1989. Over the years we've worked on the Australian Customs ICS project, Immigration's SfP program, IP Australia's ICSD work, and many others.
Today we're current at Defence CIOG, DHA, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), the Department of Health, the ATO, ASIC and the Transport Certification Authority.
The work Eccoi is most excited about right now. Australia needs a practitioner-led conversation about sovereign AI that isn't owned by any one vendor, so we're running one. Open to community members who want to learn, pick up certification work, or help write the standards.
A private LinkedIn group of 700 or so IT people across Australian Government and industry. Membership is by application, and we check who's who before approving. If you're senior and you want to hear about roles early, it's worth joining.
