Tech Talent Recruitment - Giga Metreveli on the Field and Experience
The demand for highly qualified tech talents is continuously growing. In a highly competitive environment, companies are trying to attract the best personnel and use them to conduct profitable business processes. Therefore, tech talent recruitment has never been so important and challenging.
If you work in recruitment and are interested in acquiring or deepening your knowledge in attracting tech talents, you should definitely read this blog. Giga Metreveli, lecturer of the [Tech] Talent Acquisition course, will introduce you to the latest developments in the field and give you advice on career development.
Giga studied international law at the bachelor’s level. He was employed in his profession, but soon realized that doing this work for the rest of his life was not in his interests. During his master’s studies in Germany, he decided to do a mandatory internship at a startup company that helped McKinsey and BCG conduct certain research, instead of a law firm. During this period, he had to interact with the management of leading European technology and other organizations. It was this experience that convinced Giga that working with people, talents, and their engagement was a pleasant and interesting job for him.
After this, he collaborated with small and large agencies, helping them grow in terms of human capital. One of the most notable experiences for Giga turned out to be working at Gorillas. He managed to hire 7,000 new employees in 1 year, which was quite a challenging mission. Today, Giga already has his own recruitment agency and helps various companies and investors. From next year, he plans to grow the Georgian representation and expand the Tbilisi office.
Tech Talent Recruitment - Current Trends
As Giga notes, there was quite a high demand for recruiters 2 years ago. Today, the market has become relatively regulated and stable, which was caused by ongoing global processes. Changes have also affected the technological field, and companies are avoiding rapid growth with high risks. However, recent trends show that the demand for recruiters is growing again and will return to the old mark next year. That’s why Giga advises recruiters to use this period for retraining, learning new tools, techniques, and skills, and development.
Today, there is a huge demand for attracting competent and qualified personnel. Companies are in even higher competition to attract and retain the best limited talents. They focus on Smart Hiring. Accordingly, everyone wants to hire A+ personnel. Therefore, the demand for outstanding recruiters is still high, as they are the ones who should ensure the company's growth with top talents.
What are the most important skills needed to establish oneself in this field? Giga’s answer to this question is: business knowledge necessary to perceive the technology industry and soft skills. The latter is especially important and includes:
- High emotional intelligence
- Attention to detail
- Effective communication skills
- Constant focus on growth
