IT recruitment professionals need a robust understanding of key IT concepts as well as intuitive insight into the unique mindset of IT specialists. The "IT for Recruiters" course gives a practical overview of IT from a recruiter's perspec­tive. It equips participants with tools and knowledge to understand client require­ments and to recognise strengths and weaknesses in IT candidates.

Through a mix of training formats participants gain an understanding of -

  • programming languages and software develop­ment processes
  • common IT job titles and the characteristics required to excel in each type of role

Participants learn how to -

  • identify promising candidates in screening interviews
  • extend their field of candidates for hard-to-fill roles by recognising transferable skills
  • recognise and leverage non-technical but IT-relevant qualities in candidates
The programme has been developed and is delivered by Sebastian Hallensleben who has previously worked in numerous IT mana­gement and technical lead roles in Telecoms and Financial Services, most recently in a major systematic investment fund. Backed up by extensive hiring experience Sebastian knows first-hand how to pick the best candidate for an IT role.

(Delegate comments)

"The feedback from my consultants has been excellent. … [They] came away from the training with not only a sound knowledge of the IT spectrum, but an idea of project and development lifecycles, the type of roles within technology, how to interview these candidates as well as being able to differentiate between the great, the good and the average."
(Paul Elworthy, Managing Director - London IT, Hudson Global Resources Ltd.)
