Streamlined success: The power of working with a specialist IT recruiter

Choosing between a recruiter with general tech knowledge and a specific tech expert may seem straightforward, but it’s not always that simple. With constant innovations in technology, and the ever-changing job market, it’s no secret that staying ahead of the competition requires more than just a basic understanding of the industry. To truly succeed in this market, it involves staying on trend with advancements in both digital and technology. That’s why having a specialised team of IT recruiters, who are immersed in the candidate market, and equipped with industry-specific knowledge, is the key to unlocking a successful hiring strategy. 

The Value of a Specialist IT Recruiter

While tech trends evolve, you need a dedicated recruitment partner that can assess your needs amidst ongoing digital advancements. As Colin Etheridge, CEO of North America shares, “Our specialist IT recruiters are immersed in their specific markets and know their market intimately. They know who the best candidates are, have relationships with them and are able to provide the right solution efficiently and at the right cost. A generalist recruiter can offer nothing close in terms of value, speed or relevance.”

Working with a specialist IT recruiter takes you beyond typical hiring practices- it enables you to have a strategic hiring approach while not taking away from business-critical projects. Your team of specialised recruiters will be able to identify crucial skills, technical experience, and cultural fits in candidates to empower teams. That way you can focus on what needs to get done, while still having confidence that the top talent is being found to drive projects.

Unlocking industry-specific knowledge and networks

In a constantly evolving IT sector, industry-specific knowledge and expertise is invaluable. Having a recruiter that is well versed in current trends, funding rounds, and the latest technological advancements, can make a significant impact on finding the right candidate for your team, while carving out an edge against the competition.

“All sectors, whether it’s technological, industrial, or commercial, have their own unique characteristics and supply chains,” CEO Colin Etheridge acknowledges. “Only a specialist recruiter knows what is possible in terms of timeframe, cost, and even the possibility of hiring what is needed.” 

But don’t be fooled- some of these industry experts don’t know enough about the hiring market, technology innovations, or how your organisation can stand out as a top employer. Talent’s global team of Specialist IT Recruiters have a deep understanding of the evolving digital landscape and tech hiring market. 

To truly stay ahead of the competition, hiring strategies must also align with innovative industry sectors that are experiencing growth.  “In high demand sectors like Microsoft Business Central & Azure, Oracle eBusiness, Digital Product Management & Design, it is crucial that our clients get the right advice. That advice is far more informed and credible from a specialist who operates in these markets on a 24/7 basis.” CEO, Colin Etheridge shares.
