Interview Preparation for IT Recruiters
Your interview process will depend on the skill sets, roles, and levels you are hiring for. Please focus on the following areas:
- Gain a clear understanding of the role you are hiring for so that you can explain it even to a 2-year-old. Remember, the amount of information and the way you share it will get the candidate excited to join your firm. Moreover, if you can't explain it properly, candidates won't respect you.
- Focus on resume screening techniques.
- Learn to identify the keywords in resumes and what information has been shared. For example, if a skill set is mentioned and project details are written in the resume, but there are no inputs about what the candidate contributed to the project, observe your seniors on how they question these projects. You need to have a clear view of the candidate's involvement and contribution.
- Form a script with the questions you need to ask and learn to judge the level of the answers received. There will be a few direct answers and a few elaborate ones. Learn to identify the subject and the matter in the elaborate ones.
- Identify the potential and not only the information a candidate may have. They may use jargon and terminologies; learn how to identify the experience and the level of experience from what they say.
- Spend time educating yourself on the skill sets you are supposed to hire. Understand what you need to weigh in the candidate.
- Read blogs, join tech communities, and forums relevant to the skill sets you are hiring for; this will give you the buzz you need to know while talking to candidates.
- Read tech journals and books such as "Google Way," "You Must Fail (Oracle Story)," "The Facebook Effect" to understand the industry as a whole.
- Initially, you may not understand the content, but soon you will see a pattern and start learning.
- Watch programs such as "How a Geek Changed the World" to know the media presentation of the Tech industry.
- Constantly blog about your learning here in this thread so that others can contribute with comments and add to it. It will enrich your learning and share your knowledge and effort. Create a learning plan for each day and blog at the end of the day about what you have learned. This will become an online diary for you, making you responsible for your gain.
Wish you all the best!

I do agree with the fact that an IT recruiter must possess certain key skills. They should know the skill set they are supposed to hire, have knowledge about the companies for which they are hiring, possess very good skills in screening resumes, have good communication abilities, and be ready with smart answers to any queries.
