Recruiting for technical roles can be daunting even for experienced recruiters who shift towards tech. We've developed "TALK TECH TO ME", a tech upskilling course to guide corporate recruiters into the IT ecosystem and sourcing for tech roles. This is a modular program and can adapt to varying time limitations or budgets.

 

Why would you need such a program?

 

• IT is such a generic and widespread acronym, covering dozens of very different roles, hundreds of names and acronyms for technologies, tools, languages and frameworks

​

• Having an interview with an engineer means being able to play the game: ask, understand the answer, clarify, build on it, raise a second question and grow towards a reasonable conclusion of fit for hire.  A recruiter is supposed to assess the compatibility of a candidate with the organization and the role - such an assessment will never happen if the recruiter can't operate with the basic concepts allowing for such an understanding.

​

• Sourcing for technical roles often feels like hacking, mainly when moving away from the classical "post and pray" methods. You need so much more than Linkedin Recruiter: Boolean operators, X-Ray, Github, Stack Overflow, etc.

​

• It's such a crowded space - a recruiter will only differentiate if they have a strong voice that can speak the language and is able to create a memorable experience to passive candidates. 

 

One of our main focus since setting up Itworx as a tech recruitment agency has been on upskilling our technical competencies. Getting developer courses, reading continuously, getting trained by others, talking with experts, researching every acronym and making sense of the IT ecosystem have widened our perspectives and taught us a new language that we use successfully when sourcing and running interviews with engineers of all breeds.

 

We've developed the TALK TECH TO ME program having in mind the goals, needs and challenges that corporate recruiters face: many roles stacking up and asking for their share of attention, high pressure from hiring managers to cover their vacancies, high candidates' expectations, a real need to differentiate and stand out from the noise of recruiters hunting into a too narrow territory.

 

Enrolling in this training program will help you to:

​

• acquire the basics to understand how the whole IT puzzle comes together

​

• get confidence in your ability to sustain an interview with an engineer and be able to deliver an accurate assessment of their capabilities

​

• upgrade your expertise during conversations with hiring managers and position as a trusted advisor

​

• better source for the talent you're looking to hire
