The agency we wish existed when we were contractors.
After 20+ years in ICT contracting, we kept seeing the same problems: vague margins, no visibility of charge-out rates, and contracts that limited your options.
So we built Hyperion IT to fix that.
Hyperion IT is a Canberra-based ICT recruitment agency focused on Australian Government ICT contracting, BuyICT labour hire, and transparent contractor representation.
Transparent rates.
No lock-in clauses.
Straight answers from people who've done the work.
What we do differently.
Full Price Transparency
See your full rate breakdown before you sign anything.
No estimates. No vague "industry standard" answers.
Just the full picture.
So you can make a clear call before committing.
No Lock-In Clauses
We don't include restraint or lock-in clauses.
You stay because the service is good.
Not because you're contractually stuck.
Flexible Payment Cycles
Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
You choose what suits your cash flow.
We just need an approved timesheet.
Rate Increase Advocacy
We don't just place you and disappear.
When your role grows, we help build the case for rate increases based on your impact and responsibilities.
Proactive Opportunity Generation
We actively look for your next role.
Not just waiting for BuyICT to surface opportunities.
Your downtime is something we actively work to reduce.
EV Salary Sacrificing
Access salary packaging for eligible EV and PHEV vehicles.
We'll talk you through how it works if it's relevant.
Start with the pages contractors actually use.
These cover the questions contractors ask most often:
rates, recruiter fit, contract structure, and how government ICT hiring actually works.

"Left me wondering 'why haven't I done this earlier?'"
Chris and the team made my transition incredibly comfortable and smooth. They outlined the terms clearly, with no hidden fees or fine print surprises, and made me feel supported, appreciated and welcome.
