Candidates believe that many IT recruiters don't even bother to read their Linkedin profile before sending them an InMail... They say they don't always receive feedback...Or they don't trust HR people's abilities to decide if a candidate is fit for a certain role.  

​

Hiring managers, on the other side, are asking for faster, better and more recruitment processes.

​

Many recruiters are learning by doing, many times on the go. As an IT recruiter, you keep learning with every new vacancy that you work to cover. You never stop having those "aha" moments whenever a new piece is adding to the puzzle. Your colleagues, candidates and Google are probably your best trainers in uncovering the secrets of IT recruitment.

​

At least they used to be. Until now.

​

During the 18 hours of training in Talk Tech to Me, we push the gas pedal and build an environment in which you'll learn as much as for one year on the job. We arrange together the pieces of a huge puzzle (the IT ecosystem for which we recruit), as we've uncovered it ourselves during the 25 years of combined experience in HR.

​

You won't learn programming or server administration. Far from us! There are others who are much better at it. Talk Tech to Me is (probably) the only training program in Romania that equips a Tech Recruiter with the skills and tools to search, filter and speak to tech candidates in an effective and memorable way.

​

​

Objectives of the Program​

​

Upon completing the Talk Tech to Me program, you will:

​

• Have gained a complete and clear picture of the IT world, from infrastructure to software development, from technologies to roles, with all their intricacies and dependencies. This will serve as a solid layer on which you will continue to add, in time, more concepts and technologies.

​

• Be able to screen effectively the CV's you receive or the profiles you analyze while doing direct search. 

​

• Gain access to a toolbox that you can use on a daily basis for your technical sourcing, reaching out to passive candidates.

​

• Have a stronger impact in your written (job ads, hooks and messages) and your verbal interactions with the tech candidates.

​

• Grow more confident making informed decisions related to the recruitment processes that you manage.
