Job Description (IT Recruiter)

We at Vbeyond Corporation know that the right talent acquisition is a critical aspect for any organization to grow
and that a recruitment specialist is a force for hiring such resources. We are on the lookout for a non-technical
recruitment specialist who can undertake all hiring activities and help us get rich talent onboard in the Technical
domain.

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. 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.
