History

TechWriter Placements & Services (TechWriter) was founded in 1992 by a Technical Writer, Michael Cumberworth.

Michael understood that to create effective documents you need a skilled specialist. He discovered that few employers could identify the skills they required of a specialist and even fewer knew where to find them. TechWriter was designed to find the specialists for them.

The business has developed

Since 1992, the type of roles we handle have grown from 'pure' technical writing roles to encompass a broad range of documentation and training specialists.

Our team has grown

TechWriter includes second-generation owners, Matthew and Julie Cumberworth, along with new owners Elizabeth and John Abbott. Together, we now fill over 300 contract and permanent roles a year. (For more information about us read Our Team.)

Our philosophy and expertise remain the same

Despite all the changes, we still recognise people as the cornerstone of our business, and strive to provide both clients and candidates with a personalised, value-add service.

Our expertise remains fully understanding client requirements, finding and selecting the most suitable documentation specialists.

Over the years, we have established relationships with some of Australia's most experienced and capable documentation specialists. These relationships, and our continual hunt for new talent, mean we can offer an exceptional choice of specialists to create your documentation and training.
