Who this is for

When permanent hire is not the right move yet

CEOs and CFOs

You have a gap, a programme or a risk that cannot wait for a permanent search. You want someone who can land and deliver.

Heads of People and HR

You need contract or interim cover that fits the team, not a body on a rate card. We help you brief it properly.

Organisations we support

ASX, PE-backed, NFP and multinational businesses across Australia. Enough complexity to need real skill. Close enough that fit still counts.

What you hire through us

How it works

Fast when it needs to be. Careful where it counts.

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

CIO-minded 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

Judgement on the brief, not just the CV

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.

FAQ

Straight answers

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.
