10 Strategies for Tech Recruitment

 Tech recruitment is the process of attracting and employing qualified personnel for various positions in the technology industry. It has become particularly important due to the growing demand for professionals in this field. Companies that want to keep up with modern trends and compete with other businesses place crucial importance on the tech recruitment process.Nowadays, you may encounter many challenges in finding, selecting, and employing tech professionals. If you work in this field or want to continue your career, read this blog. Here, I'll tell you about 10 challenges that tech recruiters face in their work and the strategies they use to overcome them. 1. Shortage of Talents The number of vacant positions in the technology field is quite large, which leads to a growing demand for professionals. Recruiters need to put in a lot of effort to find a sufficient number of suitable candidates in the job market. The reason for this is the mismatch between the skills required by the employer and the skills of job seekers. Therefore, attracting and hiring the best talents is one of the main challenges for tech recruiters.The way to solve this is to change the strategy. Recruiters should search for personnel not among active job seekers, but among passive ones. They need to find new ways to connect with the latter. They may not be looking for a new job, but be open to new opportunities and different offers. Such personnel make up 70% of the global workforce and can offer employers diverse and necessary skills. 2. პასიური ტალანტების მოძიება პასიური ტალანტების მოზიდვა ნამდვილად რთული გამოწვევაა, რადგან ისინი დასაქმებულები არიან და გამოცხადებულ ვაკანსიებსა და ტრადიციულ რეკრუტირების მეთოდებს უპასუხოდ ტოვებენ. თუმცა მათი ყურადღების მიქცევა შეგიძლია შენი, როგორც დამსაქმებლის, კარგი რეპუტაციის შექმნით. ამ გზით შეძლებ, რომ გამორჩეული კადრები დააინტერესო კონკრეტული კომპანიით.By using ATS (Applicant Tracking System), recruiters can track the HR analytics of their campaigns. This will give them the opportunity to optimize their strategies, which will help effectively attract passive talents. ATS will also help in communication: sending individual emails, scheduling interviews, updating candidate profiles. It can also provide AI recommendations to help recruiters quickly find personnel suitable for the company based on their skills and experience. 3. Competition in the Job Market In addition to candidates, tech recruiters must compete with other leading companies in the technology field. Job seekers pay attention to the culture, values, and reputation of the organization before applying for a vacancy. They are looking for employers who offer career advancement, learning and development opportunities, and a friendly, positive work environment.In order to be competitive in the job market and attract experienced and professional talents, tech recruiters need to create a strong and distinctive employer "brand". One way to do this is to develop a company employment website. Here you'll tell potential employees about the organization and its culture. You'll give them the opportunity to fill out an application for a vacancy directly from the website. 4. ompensation and Other Benefits Employers need to offer tech talents high salaries and packages full of various benefits: health insurance, education funding, pension plan. However, for small businesses, offering such conditions is difficult and expensive - they have limited resources and budget. In addition, candidates prefer different offers. For example, bonus system, flexible schedule, the possibility of remote work, and others. Therefore, it's a challenge for recruiters to tailor the vacancy to the needs and desires of each personnel. 5. Internal Mobility in the Company Internal mobility refers to the promotion of an employee or transfer to another department. Companies that focus on this process will attract more tech talents because they pave the way for employees' career growth and development. This approach is particularly profitable in the technology field - the demand for professionals is high, and the competition to hire them is difficult and labor-intensive. However, internal mobility is also a challenge for tech recruiters. When employees are promoted to higher positions in the company, it becomes difficult to keep track of their skills, qualifications, or experience. This can create a mismatch between vacant positions and candidates, which is an inefficient use of time and resources. Therefore, to effectively manage tech talents, it's important to use necessary techniques such as ATS.How will ATS help you in the recruitment process? Discovering suitable candidates for the vacancy among the company's employees based on their knowledge, skills, experience, and priorities. In addition, the system will help inform them about new opportunities within the organization, which will encourage them.Promoting a culture of internal mobility that ensures employees' career growth and development. ATS will help you assess the quality of their work, potential, aspirations, and provide feedback.You'll reduce recruitment costs and time and won't have to search for personnel outside the organization. ATS will simplify the process of applying, screening applications, conducting interviews. It will also significantly reduce the need for orientation and training. 6. Ongoing Market Changes Rapid changes in the technology industry also affect market demands. Certain skills and qualifications may become outdated and less useful in the next decade. Therefore, tech recruiters need to actively collaborate with managers to correctly identify the skills that are needed today and will be needed in the future. Based on this, they should select candidates who have the relevant knowledge and also the ability to learn new technologies, adapt to changes, and solve complex problems. 7. Selecting the Right Personnel The next challenge is determining how well a particular personnel fits the organization. For this, the recruiter should consider not only their skills and qualifications but also the compatibility of their personality, values, and culture with the company. This can be determined if they know well the organization's vision, mission, goals, as well as managers' expectations and preferences. ATS is also quite useful in this process - it shows how well the applicant's resume fits the job requirements. 8. Avoiding Bias in the Tech Recruitment Process Preconceptions and ideas about candidates during the screening process can influence the recruitment process. As a result, this becomes a source of discrimination, which can be based on various factors (age, gender, race). This negatively affects the candidate's experience and reputation, as well as the organization's operations.In this case, too, ATS will be of great help and will evaluate candidates based on objective and data-based criteria. Also, to avoid bias, you can use an anonymity strategy. The system allows you to hide the details of the candidate's personal information (name, age, photo, etc.) and evaluate them only based on their qualifications. 9. Making Data-Based Decisions Recruiters should have clearly defined criteria by which they intend to select a candidate. Along with this, they should measure and control the recruitment process and results. Specifically, the time and cost spent on it, quality, and level of candidate satisfaction. 10. Accelerating the Recruitment Process Traditional recruitment methods lead to slow employment processes, loss of chances and opportunities. Therefore, to hire and retain the best talents, it's necessary that each stage of the hiring process is conducted quickly and efficiently. New technologies and tools will help you with this. As you can see, tech recruiting is full of many challenges that can be solved using technical knowledge and necessary tools. If you want to acquire the knowledge, strategies, techniques that will help you in this process, I have good news for you. It's now possible to take the [Tech] Talent Acquisition course at Commschool, where you'll study the full process of tech recruiting with an industry expert lecturer.
