Training IT Recruitment

The IT vacancy has been open for weeks. IT professionals barely respond.

The hiring manager gets restless. Your recruiters send InMails and get 2 replies out of 10. They know what they are doing, but in this segment nothing seems to work.

And in the interview? Your team can’t always judge whether someone is technically strong. They sense it. They don’t quite speak the same language as the IT professional across the table. Time to change that.

In one day of IT recruitment training, your team gets a grip on the IT target group and an approach that works. In English, at your office or online. Plan a 30-minute call and we’ll shape the day around your IT vacancies.

What does this IT recruitment training give your team?

After this day, your team:

1. Understands the IT labour market and knows what drives this target group
2. Runs a sharper intake with hiring managers or clients
3. Writes job adverts and messages that IT professionals do read
4. Knows which channels besides LinkedIn work for tech talent
5. Gets more replies when approaching IT professionals proactively
6. Uses AI to work faster and sharper in IT recruitment

Frequently asked questions

Does my team need technical knowledge for this IT recruitment training?
No. The training is designed for recruiters without a technical background. Your team learns how to get a grip on the IT market and the IT field without being programmers.

Does this approach also work for specialist roles, such as a senior Android developer or a cloud architect?
Yes. The scarcer the skill, the more relevant this training becomes: the right channels, the right story and the right approach. In the intake, you share your hardest open vacancies, and we work on those during the day.

How does this differ from the LinkedIn recruitment training?
The LinkedIn training focuses fully on one channel. This IT training treats LinkedIn as one of several channels, and also covers the IT market, the target group, the vacancy intake and AI. The two trainings complement each other.
