Description
This course is the first in a series of technical dissertations specifically geared to an IT Recruiter. So much of the training for IT Recruiters is based upon the rote memorization of complex terms and dry definitions. From the time I did my first technical interview in 1997, I have made an avocation of distilling technical information for the benefit of all IT Recruiters.
IÂ have spent the last 25 years with a foot straddling two disparate realms:Â ITÂ Recruiting and Software Engineering. IÂ bring a unique blend of insight and experience into providing training so recruiters can engage with technologists more effectively. I cut my teeth in the mid 90s at an ITÂ staffing firm and started a SaaS firm that offers a technical interview platform for Recruiters in 2016.
My students will get the benefit of my blended professional heritage.
The objective of all of the training material we publish on here is to cultivate something we call â€œConversational Competenceâ€, the innate ability to draw upon a pool of internal knowledge that lets you insert technical analysis or interrogation into any conversation with a technical counterpart.
This course is the bedrock for application developers and we give you a thorough overview on the evolution of Application Architecture. You get so many buzzwords thrown at you as a recruiter - SOA, Object Orientation, Frameworks - but you never really acquired a gut-level understanding of them. You will come away from this course with a depth of insight and confidence that will let you readily engage with developers.
We will walk you through what may seem like an intimidating jungle of terms and give them a context to which you can easily relate. We compare N-Tier Application Architecture to sections of a car. We compare Object Orientation by comparing it to different parts of a house.
We will give you a depth of insight that will let you spontaneously generate technical qualification questions when talking to developers. Imagine speaking to a developer and just confidently asking them to define Polymorphism or Encapsulation and you will know exactly what to look for in an answer.
Get ready to have the shroud of mystery related to technical subjects unveiled in a way you have never experienced before.
Who this course is for:
This course is for anyone who takes technical recruiting seriously and wants to have more confidence in engaging with technical audiences.

I got into IT Recruiting in the mid-'90s and did my first technical interview in late '97, triggering a journey that has inspired the ambition to create an entire generation of IT Recruiters who can independently screen candidates using their own internal pool of knowledge. I left agency recruiting in 2005 to consult to software companies, becoming trusted as the first-round technical screen at companies such as The MathWorks, Pegasystems and Akamai Technologies. This is where I really elevated my ability to screen developers down to the syntax level. I started TechScreen in 2016 to level the playing field for IT Recruiters by releasing the world's SaaS platform that empowers recruiters to conduct a detailed technical interview. The TechScreen Certified Recruiter training program was deployed in 2021 that gives us Just-in-Time Knowledge, the ability for recruiters to leverage the content to execute their jobs in real-time. It is the world's largest technical content resource that was curated specifically for non-technical people. This content is going to give recruiters simplified technical knowledge that can be used to generate focused qualification question. The consistent use of this content will cultivate something I call 'Conversational Competence', the reflexive ability to draw upon detailed technical information from a pool of information the recruiter 'owns'.
