Recruiting of IT specialists

More and more companies prefer to have a full-time IT specialist than to look for freelancers for each new project. Companies that successfully develop their business launch a large number of new projects, for the implementation of which full-time programmers are needed.

 

Recruiting of IT specialists is different from the recruiting of other specialists. This is primarily due to the fact that there is still a shortage of qualified personnel in Ukraine. You can find CVs of QA, System Administrator, Junior Developer specialists on job sites, but candidates for Middle or Senior Developer vacancies, as well as specialists who know rare programming languages, cannot be found quickly on web resources.

 

Companies that seek to improve the efficiency of their business processes and want to get an IT specialist into their team more often turn to an IT recruiting agency. PETTERSON & BENNETT, which also provides recruiting agency services in Kiev and Ukraine, uses innovative methods for the recruitment of IT personnel. The key to successful work is the recruiting of an IT specialist, whose basic values and goals coincide with the values of the company.

How are IT specialists recruited?

There are several ways to recruit IT professionals. The junior link of developers is usually looked for on job search sites, in specialized Facebook or Telegram groups, and on specialized web resources.

 

 

High-level specialists are more difficult to recruit. The most effective method appeared to be Headhunting, the essence of which lies in the personal communication of a recruiter with a potential candidate. The programmer should be offered more attractive working conditions so that he agrees to move to another company.

 

 

It is also worth noting, that IT specialists rarely consider high salaries to be the main motivation for their work. The key moment of an IT specialist's career is the opportunity to grow and develop professionally, as well as receive additional bonuses from the employing company. And this is not about coffee and cookies, or the free pool on weekends. Advanced IT specialists appreciate the opportunity to study additionally, attend international conferences and seminars, improve their skills, and want to work with a quality product.

 

 

The recruiter who, during the interview, will find out not only the level of professional skills, but also determine the internal motivation of the candidate, his system of values will be able to recruit IT personnel effectively.
