Due to increased IT Job requirements in Sydney and Brisbane, CITI Recruitment has moved to larger offices in Sydney and opened a new office based in the Brisbane CBD in order to meet increased demand. The Sydney office is now based at 210 Clarence Street, Sydney and the Brisbane Office is located at 127 Creek Street, Brisbane

CITI Recruitment was recently accredited to supply to the Queensland Government through the GITC scheme and as such is now seeking staff across various IT domains. The Brisbane office is also experiencing high demand in SAP and ERP Jobs due to Mining and Engineering companies setting up their headquarters in Brisbane.

We also see the addition of four new consultants to the CITI Recruitment team:

• Alana Mc Auliffe – ERP / SAP Recruitment – Sydney
• Daniel Barrett - C++, C#, Java and Algorithmic Developers – Sydney
• Gino Lancaster – General Manager – Brisbane
• Ann Sexton – IT Resourcer – Brisbane

CITI Recruitment welcomes all the new joiners to it our team and we look forward to more growth and success in the New Year!

CITI Recruitment sponsored the Blackmore’s Sydney Running Festival, 2011.

The event was a great success and was highlighted by a beautiful sunny Australian day.  Thousands of participants from over 43 countries could be seen running across the Harbour Bridge to the Sydney Opera House finish line – a record number of entrants.

Once finished thousands of participants flocked to the Recovery Village (where our main advert was displayed on the large screens) to take the opportunity to sit down, recuperate and take in the atmosphere.

The RCSA Golf day was held on a fantastic winters day in June 2011 at the St Micheal’s Golf Course in Sydney. What a great course if not a little windy, still we expansive views of the ocean and glimpses of breaching whales throughout the day. Rules were ambrose which Steve was happy to hear!

Steve Wilson had the pleasure playing with a rugby great – Glen Ella!

EC Integrators Launches Analytix Mapping Manager to Australian Market

EC Integrators, a leading innovator in data warehousing and business intelligence, today became Australia’s first reseller to successfully deliver the new Analytix Data Services’ Mapping Manager software to Australian-owned and operated companies.

Analytix Mapping Manager is the first metadata-based and ETL tool-agnostic Source-to-Target mapping product available on the market today.  It is the first-ever system integration industry product to bring data governance best practices, standardisation, versioning, traceability, impact analysis and data lineage to data mapping and data management.  Analytix Mapping Manager accelerates delivery whilst improving quality by overcoming the traditional pitfalls and high cost of manual data mapping processes. This product has been adopted by multinational companies such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Barquin International, Lockheed Martin, HP and others.

“This is a niche and cutting-edge pre-ETL product that complements major ETL tools such as Informatica’s Power Center and IBM InfoSphere DataStage,” said Emy Carr, the Managing Director of EC Integrators. “Together with the expected tremendous sales of this product, we look ahead to accelerate project delivery and improve overall data quality even more.”

The Analytix toolset is a scalable tool which enables users to quickly build, version and manage data mapping specifications between multiple source data environments and target systems such as enterprise data warehouse and data mart environments.  This flexible toolset can be accessed by anyone with a web browser.

Analytix Mapping Manager and EC Integrators together provide Business Analysts and Project Managers a solution that gives faster and better quality data mapping with all the flexibility of traditional methods.

The 2010 NPA Worldwide Conference was recently held in Sydney.

The theme of the conference was how to differentiate your Recruitment business.

Steve Wilson – Director at CITI Recruitment hosted and presented the “How to differentiate your Recruitment Business using Information Technology” panel for the NPA Worldwide conference.

The speakers included Thomas Shaw – Recruitment Directory, Michael Sharkey – Sharkey Media and Bill Kubicek – PC Recruiter

CITI Recruitment recently featured in Shortlist.net.au Newsletter:

Sydney IT recruitment specialist CITI Recruitment has had strong interest in a new tool that allows recruiters to embed searchable jobs on their websites, says director Steve Wilson.

Wilson said CITI Recruitment developed the basic tool for its own use, but had now on-sold it to five other recruitment companies in non-IT sectors.

The product automatically uploades the text of new job ads written by an agency’s consultants onto a page on the company’s website, so that the ads were directly searchable via Google.

This meant candidates searching Google for highly specialised IT roles were likely to see CITI jobs included in the first few results that came up, Wilson said.

Having their ads searchable on Google gave recruiters a huge advantage, he said, because unlike SEEK where ads were taken down after 30 days, the text on the web page remained there indefinitely.

“What happens if I’ve written a really good advert, and somebody finds it 60 days later and applies, and they’re perfect for a new job? That’s a free candidate.”

He said many agencies used the “I-frame” provided by SEEK to feature their SEEK listings on their own website, but the contents of the I-frame box were invisible to Google’s search engine.

ATS companies and multi-posting firms offered I-frames, he said, and in some instances created packages that gave big agencies a search engine-optimised job feed that would bring ads up in Google results.

“But clients pay a lot of money for that service, and it’s out of reach of a lot of recruitment agencies.”

Wilson noted that CITI’s tool would only work well for companies advertising jobs in specific niche markets. Google searches for “accounting” or “legal” jobs were unlikely to bring up results from small recruitment companies because the volume of related links was so large, he said.

CITI Recruitment has launched a new usergroup on LinkedIn Groups – Australian Recruitment Technology Usergroup (ARTUG).

ARTUG is for anyone wanting to learn and share ideas about the use of technology in the recruitment industry.

We meet every last Thursday in the Month in Sydney. We aim to open a Melbourne Group soon. Interested people can join the group here:
