ITCRA

The Information Technology Contract and Recruitment Association (ITCRA) was established as the result of the coming together of some CEOs in the IT contract and recruitment industry to air their concerns with each other about the state of their industry. They also believed that a code of ethics was needed to which industry CEOs committed their companies. Making the industry more efficient by the development of common form contracts, industry specific training programs for staff and contractors, recruitment forums and other projects in which they had a common interest were other joint activities that they wanted to pursue. The Objectives of ITCRA are to enhance and promote the information technology contract and recruitment industry; establish a Code of Conduct consistent with good practice and sound business objectives; promote the professionalism and image of the Industry; conduct training and educational activities for the industry; provide an industry forum/lobby group for specialist IT recruitment and contract labour providers.
