You will inherit an established platform and have the mandate to strengthen the core recruitment business while building a broader technology talent and services offering around it.
With the backing and infrastructure of PeopleIN, you will have the opportunity to develop new services, enter new markets, build strategic client relationships and create new recurring and project-based revenue streams.
If you are a technology recruitment or services leader who wants the opportunity to build and lead a business, not simply manage an existing operation, we would like to hear from you.
