Milestone Search changes its name to Milestone Information Technology
Milestone Search, a specialist IT&T recruiter decided some 3 years ago to launch into other verticals including Sales and Marketing, Finance, Engineering and Construction recruitment. Whilst our core business remained IT recruitment the hope was to build a product offering in areas that were outside of our domain and area of specialty, that being, Information Technology.
Ironically, during this period, our IT recruitment division has continued to flourish and yet all the while the other departments remained barley viable. Whilst the business itself has remained extremely profitable, this is, in essence, the result of our specialist IT recruitment division and the good work of our IT consultants.
We’ve pondered why for some time and have come to the realisation that, you don’t know what you don’t know! In IT recruitment our principals all have extensive and thorough personal and professional backgrounds in IT and as such are well positioned to identify the very best IT professionals! The truth, it would seem, is that this is not the case in verticals where our consultants had limited networks and a poor understanding of the domains they were seeking to service! It appears that the statement made by Andrew Carnegie paints the clearest picture when seeking to elaborate on our position! Andrew states, “I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one’s resources, and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved pre-eminence in money making.. Who was interested in many concerns.” As specialists in the IT domain we offer our clients an unmatched technical knowledge combined with a revered network of leaders in the Information Technology domain! While hind-site remains 20/20, it does appear as though our business sought to deviate from this simple, tried and true concept! Milestone IT and it’s consultants are masters in IT recruitment and IT selection!
Our consultants understand the technical aspects of IT and are some of the best IT recruiters in Australia! “After all, if you are really good at something, focus on it. Don’t stray away from it, but instead just do that and become the leader in your space” Neil Patel. For Milestone IT, providing the best IT recruitment service to the best IT Professionals is something that we are really good at! The business name change from Milestone Search to Milestone IT is our open commitment to that undertaking!
I’m reminded of an amusing quote which goes like this, “Find something you’re not good at then don’t do it! ” — ALF. Good advice ALF and we wish we had followed it when we launched into other verticals. ! We’d have saved a large amount of time, energy and cost associated with the other brands which have all proved to be extremely unsuccessful. All the while, our IT division has continued to experience steady growth with our overall contractor numbers tripling over the course of the last 12 months to more than 300 IT contractors.
As such, Milestone Search has changed its trading name to Milestone Information Technology and whilst our ABN, business structure and all other aspects remain the same) we will, as ALF suggests, only do that which we are good at! Which is providing the very best IT professionals to the very best companies.
