Peculiarities of selecting an employee in the IT field

Many firms hire IT professionals, refusing to look for a freelancer for a particular project. The recruitment of IT specialists in our country is much different from the search and selection of other workers. Such employees, for certain reasons, are in short supply today. Therefore, it is difficult to find true professionals. There is a way out of this situation – selection of IT specialists can be entrusted to the specialized company Global Staff.

Methods for selecting IT professionals

There are different methods used to find and select IT professionals. Junior-level programmers try to find jobs on social networking sites such as Facebook. They also use a variety of online classified ads.

More professional employees are harder to find. The most effective method – is Headhunting. Its essence is the following – the employer personally talks to the candidate. In order for the employee to decide to transfer to another company, the ideal working conditions are offered to him/her in a personal conversation.

We should also note that employees in this field are not often motivated by a high salary. The main key to their career – opportunity for professional growth, development, getting additional bonuses from the company. And it's not about free coffee and candy, but, for example, a free swimming pool on Saturdays and Sundays. Demanding IT staff value the chance to receive additional training, attend international seminars, and enhance their experience.

The recruiter can help select IT employees efficiently. The interviewer can determine the level of experience as well as employee motivation and values.

Search and Selection Process

In selecting candidates, the following rules should be followed:

.
1. Break down the basic principles of candidate selection.
2. Use a passive, active method of recruiting to fill existing vacancies, filling the company's reserve base.
3. Include the very best people in the candidate pool who have graduated from the relevant university, courses or professional training.
4. Demonstrate all the benefits of working in a particular project.

.

It's also important to look for candidates quickly. More often than not, a job is filled on a project that's already in place.

It's also important to look for candidates quickly.

It's worth recognizing that a recruiter who doesn't have experience in IT won't be able to properly assess the skills of candidates, selecting an experienced programmer out of a large pool of candidates.
