History In 1989, Anne Heraty and Keith O'Malley founded Computer Placement Ltd. providing staff for the IT industry. In 1992, Heraty bought out the other shareholders, including O'Malley and became the 100% owner of CPL. In 1996, Heraty's husband Paul Carrol joined the company. Currently, he is the director of Business Development. In 1994, a restructuring of Computer Placement Ltd. started and from then on they used CPL mainly as a trade-name. The restructuring continued over the next few years and in 1996 the companies' CPL Engineering (construction) and CPL Solutions (IT/call centres) were founded. In 1997 the first new office opened in Limerick. In 1998, some new divisions were set up within Computer Placement Ltd: CPL Telecoms, CPL Sales and CPL Financial.

In July 2018, a Channel 4 investigation on Dispatches titled Inside Facebook: Secrets of a Social Network described CPL's role in providing content moderation services to Facebook through a team of employees who were instructed to allow certain types of graphic violence and hate speech to remain on Facebook. In March 2019, a former worker at CPL's Dublin location reported a high-pressure environment where moderators were required to evaluate videos containing graphic violence, child pornography, animal abuse, and other disturbing content with the expectation of meeting a 98% "quality rating".
