Founded in 1990 by the owner Arnold Graaff, then freelance IT consultant. The company started to supply only programmers and later incorporated all IT skills in its portfolio. Arnold Graaff holds an Hons BSc (Computer Science) degree.

We have built up a large database through the years by working in a very structured way. 

i) Database and personal reference 
We try to keep contact with everyone on our database even if it is just to say we are still here. A lot of our applicants and clients come to us via personal references. 

ii) Advertising 
We source from the larger internet job sites, daily and IT press as widely as possible. 

iii) Partnerships (local and abroad) 
Locally we network with other agencies and internationally we have partners in India, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union to supply the most sought-after skills. 

iv) Operations 
Our categorisation process starts immediately when a new application is received. Please view our skill categories. 

We also categorise our clients and prospective clients in terms of the business they are in as follows

Consulting House - ERP	It can be significant to look at which kind of individuals are successful in certain types of companies:   A Programmer in a vendor - oriented environment will have to have a lot of people skills to succeed as he / she would be required to have a lot of first-line user contact.   A Programmer in a Systems Integration environment might have different projects on his plate at the same time. He / she is expected to be solution-oriented and happy to work in different situations an sometimes changing software skills.   Every person is different and by looking at the type of companies that brought success out of him / her, we can learn a lot about his needs.
