Hi All,

I am one of the many recruiter (job seeker) who is finidng it difficult by every passing day to combat the conditions around us given the economic slowdown and the competitive job market.

For all the time that I have left on my hands after my job search efforts , I try to upgrade my knowhow in some or the other way like reading blogs, websites that talk about the Do's and the Don'ts, Boolean Search Strings, and various other recruiting techniques ....But what I a really looking for is some material on how to become a good IT recruiter (I mean from TECHNOLOGY perspective)

Recruiting like to many others happened to me as well. I am not shy in letting people know that I do NOT come from an engineering B/G. Recruiters need not know the indepths of each technology out in the market but with time I have come to realize that each recruiter should know the basics the least and I am not finding any material out there which tells me so....I mean technically from a recruiter's perspective....For example....What is the difference between a BSA and a BA and a SA...What is the difference between a programmer and a developer...etc ....

I am not saying that material is not available on these topics on the internet but I was wondering if there is any thing designed on these lines for recruiters specefically ???

Any suggestions ??

Regards
Priti

do a google search for developer and programmer positions that are online..study them until they make sense, and you know the difference. As for the acronyms, google those and learn.. search for resumes that belong to the "IT" types you want to recruit..

this helps build a candidate profile in your head, and then you can find openings with a bit more confidence. sooner or later, you'll find a chatty hiring authority or candidate that will tell you more stuff, and you keep learning until you fill in the blanks.

That's as close to a magic wand as it gets in this line of work.
