Technical Recruiter
Controller Job Description
Technical recruiters may work in the human resources department within a company or in a technical recruiting agency to fill open positions within a technology-focused company. They search for job candidates who possess the right expertise to fit specialized positions in information technology, data science or engineering. The Technical Recruiter will identify, recruit, screen, and present good candidates for technology positions, collaborating with hiring managers to set realistic technical requirements.
Since technical recruiters write detailed job descriptions and talk with people often, they should have strong communication abilities. Technological recruiters must be able to meet deadlines and schedule various meetings with potential job candidates as well as employers. Most technical recruiters have to manage their own client contacts and acquire talent through their own searches. A strong sense of internal motivation and hard work is necessary to secure potential job candidates for clients. Technical recruiters need to learn a wide range of technical terminology and use it in their discussions with clients and candidates.
Technical recruiters are not expected to have a degree or background in a technological field. However, most technical recruiters are expected to learn the technical language related to various positions while on the job. Once you familiarize yourself with the terms related to technical recruiting, it will be easier to speak with job candidates and the businesses that hire them.
