IT RECRUITERS :

Information technology (IT) recruiters find, screen, and


hire job applicants in the information technology
sector. Small to large companies use IT recruiters to
hire professionals for various areas of technology.
Recruiter is in charge of sourcing, screening,
scheduling interviews, and extending offers to
candidates that are suited for tech roles — software
engineering, data analysis, technical writers, etc.

IT Recruiter Job Responsibilities


Sourcing Candidates

IT recruiters may work on attracting applicants passively, or may actively reach


out to prospective employees individually (through networking social media sites
such as LinkedIn or through schools or programming boot camps).

Screening Candidates

Once an individual expresses interest and enters the application process,


recruiters screen the candidate for the client company's job requirements and
qualifications, as well as checking to ensure a good fit with company culture.

Arranging Interviews

If the candidate passes the initial stage of assessment, the recruiter arranges
interviews between the job candidate and key staff within the client company.

Coordinating Compensation Packages

After the decision is made to offer the position to the candidate, the recruiter
explains the compensation package the company is offering and helps navigate
any negotiation over salary and other benefits.
Companies Recruiters Work With
If you become an IT recruiter, you may find yourself working with a wide range of
companies, since nearly every industry, from media to commerce, requires IT
employees.

And you'll likely fill many different types of roles, including both permanent
positions and temporary, project-based jobs. 

Qualifications for IT Recruiters 


To be successful as an IT recruiter, you'll need to have certain skills and
qualifications: 

 Education: Most people in this role will have a college education.1 What


you major in isn't necessarily important, although a technical major, or at
least related coursework, might give you an edge down the road. You may
also opt to pursue recruiter certifications or other professional development
to gain more expertise. 
 Communication skills and other soft skills: In this role, you'll need to
both read potential candidates for a good cultural fit and entice candidates
to work for the company you represent. Certainly, having
strong communication skills is important, since you'll often need to be a
conduit between hiring companies and candidates.

The most important soft skills include a strong social aptitude, the ability to
communicate effectively, relationship building, and top-notch organization.

 Technical knowledge: While you don't have to be able to code yourself, or


have an in-depth understanding of IT software and hardware, you should be
conversant on technical matters. This background knowledge will help you
understand what hard skills are important to hiring companies, and allow you
to be able to talk the talk with job prospects, answer their questions, and
determine whether their particular qualifications match what the employer is
looking for

reasonably high-level of expertise, which is difficult to expect from your internal HR teams due to
resource constraints. It is a known fact that hiring a qualified candidate via an internal HR team
can take a considerable amount of time and resources.

 Let’s look at some of the other key advantages offered by companies offering IT staffing

 Cost-effective
 The costs involved in hiring an in-house recruitment staff for hiring activity are relatively higher
than the cost incurred in hiring a firm with expertise in IT staffing solutions. Staffing firms take
complete ownership of the full employment cycle, right from the initial screening to background
checking process, which helps IT companies to save the expenses around them. Mid-sized
companies often prefer to partner with firms offering staffing solutions, as they turn out to be
highly reliable and cost-effective for hiring candidates.

 Vast Network
 Firms specializing in IT staffing solutions often have a pool of readily available bench resources.
Apart from this, they also have contacts with reliable and trustworthy candidates, who are willing
to join immediately. Due to their vast networking capabilities, firms offering staffing solutions can
easily fill positions easily. IT companies that are interested in hiring temporary or contract
workers would find this an ideal option. Companies no longer have to first post advertisements
for the job opening, carry out the initial screening and interview process of the candidates to
complete the hiring activity.

 Employee Retention and Quick Turnaround Time


 Companies that hire temporary workers using IT staffing solutions usually get a chance to assess
the performance and working style of these employees, without actually having to take them on
permanent roles, which doesn’t affect their attrition rates. Companies that usually have seasonal
peaks or bulk requirements prefer partnering with firms offering IT staffing solutions.
Additionally, it also saves a lot of expenses involved in training.
 It is a viable proposition for companies to hire permanent as well as temporary workers using a
staffing solution firm. It expedites the hiring process and saves expenses, and increases the
chance of securing the right candidates with good skills and experience. To get the most out of a
staffing solutions company, you must always opt a reputed company, which has a good
reputation and rating in the industry.
