The main task of recruiting, regardless of the field of implementation - "so that companies get exactly those employees who will bring them maximum benefit, and employees came to the companies that suit them. Achieving this ideal combination, we get, stable and, most importantly, the successful development of the company. Each member of the team does "his" job and, being interested in the success of the project, performs his duties flawlessly. Secondly, an "ideal" employee. Choosing a candidate with a high level of motivation on the three main aspects (content, career, financial), we provide the company with a person who is satisfied with his position, the level of salary, which has a positive impact on business results.

In general, all of the above also applies to the IT sphere, especially considering how rapidly the high-tech industry is developing. Today, no company can be competitive without the use of modern technology. But then a logical question arises: why in the IT-sphere we are not limited to the usual (general) HR-managers or recruiting agencies, for which the selection of suitable candidates is the essence of professional activity? Why is there a new sphere, a kind of "sub-branch" of recruiting - IT-recruiting? And why is it that IT recruiters are in high demand?

The answers to these questions are quite simple.

The specifics of the recruiting profession

To be not just "one more" but a successful IT recruiter, basic knowledge of the fundamentals and the recruiting process combined with knowledge of the basics of psychology is not enough. It is necessary to understand the basics of programming, basic terms and acronyms in order to be able to conduct a dialogue with potential candidates in their "native" language. This, above all, will reduce the time it takes to close vacancies. You will clearly understand what professional skills are required by the employer. Accordingly, you will be able to formulate a job description and plan the search for the candidate. Secondly, such a "savvy" recruiter will create a favorable impression with both the client and the candidate. From practice, this is very important, especially if we are talking about programmers who are spoiled by the attention of recruiters. 

A peculiarity of programmers as a species homo sapiens

Programmers, whether by virtue of their innate qualities, or by virtue of a professional deformation, or by virtue of common clichés, are perceived by people as "not of this world. Some have an image in their minds of a recluse, a self-absorbed hermit who does not leave his house for months, talking to himself and taking all words literally. Judging by such a "bouquet", it is quite problematic for this person to "sell" himself profitably. After all, it is necessary to present his skills creatively and step out of his own world by entering the ocean of social communications. These perceptions are partly true, so it is important that the IT recruiter, knowing these characteristics, can find an approach to such candidates and help them profitably sell their skills.

Peculiarities of the IT labor market

IT field is one of the few where the rules of the game are set not by the employer, but by the candidate. Analysis of the labor market in IT shows that the number of vacancies significantly exceeds the number of resumes. So it's not the IT specialist who has to draw attention to himself, but the employer has to present his company in the most favorable light, to offer the candidate a project and working conditions he will be interested in. This is where the role of the IT recruiter is most important. Being an intermediary between the key links of the working chain, he can "bring together" the ideal candidate with the employer of his dreams.  

Prospects of IT-recruiting development depend on several factors. First is the situation on the labor market, but in the next 5-10 years there will be no problem with this, because the role of technology in all spheres of life is constantly increasing, so even if the number of programmers will grow steadily, the number of vacancies will also grow exponentially. This is where the role of the IT recruiter, on the other hand, will only increase. However, the role of automation is growing, and there is an opinion on the Internet that soon there will be no need for recruiters at all. In my opinion, a computer cannot replace a live communication with a candidate, yes, perhaps it is even better than a recruiter to determine the presence of the necessary hard skills, but determining motivation, soft skills, the ability to influence and conduct a unique expertise, a robot not endowed with the ability to empathy, will have inevitable problems, which only a professional IT recruiter can solve. Therefore, at the moment we can only talk about the growing demand for IT recruiters and the increasing attractiveness of this profession.
