VS Principle 2 : Life of an IT Recruiter

Audience: Jobseekers

It’s really important to understand the psychology of an IT Recruiter to pass the IT Screening. An IT Recruiter is not specialized in any specific set of technologies. They are just sales people who are trying to close a deal to make a commission. At any given point, an IT Recruiter would be handling multiple job requisitions on various technologies. IT Recruiters from India work in night shifts, they are usually occupied with a lot of phone calls from various bench recruiters and jobseekers. The following factors would convince an IT Recruiter to pass you in Screening :

  • candidates confidence to handle the project.

  • candidates commitment to take up the project if selected.

  • reasonable hourly billing rate

  • suitable candidate resume with good years of experience

Let’s say that Pramod from IDC technologies is trying to find candidates for below requirements:

  • ServiceNow Developer

  • Java Developers

  • Django admin

  • PHP developer with .NET

  • Data engineer with Azure

  • Python developer

Pramod is an IT Recruiter, who possibly doesn’t know anything about ServiceNow, Java, Django, php, Python etc.

Pramod will call a candidate, check for the confidence and suitability of the candidate for a requirement. He makes an instant decision to proceed forward or not, then he calls another candidate for another requirement. These back and forth calls from Pramod to candidates will keep going on as business as usual.

Conclusion: IT recruiter is not someone who works for an IT Company, they are just sales people trying to make a commission. They call hundreds of candidates every day, and proceed forward with further submissions in the hiring process if they feel the candidate is suitable.
