IT contractors and interim leaders across Australia

Short-term cover and project delivery with fewer surprises

Tech hiring for CEOs, CFOs and Heads of People who need contractors, interim IT leaders or specialised delivery talent. Sydney-based, working across Australia. We help you decide what you actually need, then find people who can deliver.

What you hire through us

For CEOs, CFOs and Heads of People at ASX, PE-backed, NFP and multinational businesses across Australia, when permanent hire is not the right move yet.

Interim IT leaders

Interim Chief Information Officer (CIO), Head of IT or digital leads who can steady the function while you search or restructure.

Project and programme contractors

Delivery managers, PMs and specialists who can move a programme without creating noise.

Specialised contract talent

Security, data, cloud, infrastructure and applications contractors when you need depth for a defined period.

How it works

01

Discovery

A coffee or short call to clarify the gap, duration, budget and what success looks like. Contract or interim is not always the answer.

02

Search

Targeted outreach into Australian contractor and interim networks. We look for people who have done this work before.

03

Senior IT vetting

We assess delivery record, technical depth and how they will land in your team. Same standard as our permanent searches.

04

Shortlist

A small shortlist with context on availability, rates and fit. You meet people ready to start.

Why this is different

Talent Divers is a boutique executive tech search practice, based in Sydney and working across Australia. Jose A. Perez founded it after years as a CIO. He has hired contractors and interim leaders under real delivery pressure. That shapes how we brief, screen and advise.

We speak to CEOs, CFOs and Heads of People as a sounding board. Sometimes the right move is interim. Sometimes it is a permanent search. Sometimes it is a specialised contractor for a defined piece of work. We help you choose before you spend.

Permanent IT executive search and contractors or interim cover sit in the same practice. One conversation can cover either path.

“I had a great experience working with Jose. He was professional, supportive and helpful throughout the recruitment process, keeping me informed and making the process smooth and straightforward.”

FAQ

Do you place day-rate contractors and interim executives?

Yes. We cover specialised IT contractors, project delivery talent and interim IT leaders for organisations across Australia.

How quickly can someone start?

It depends on the brief and the market. A short call helps us say what is realistic for your role and timing.

Can this run alongside a permanent search?

Often yes. Interim or contract cover can bridge while an IT executive search runs. Raise it on the first call.

Who should we speak to first?

Usually the CEO, CFO or Head of People. A coffee or short call is enough to start. No sales script.
