IT staffing firms have no shortage of challenges in trying to deliver services to their clients. Buyers often look at staffing firms like they are commodities because of their sheer numbers and the fact that the industry does see a fair amount of turnover.<\/p>\n

New hires are pressured for immediate production, hitting their KPIs and getting to their weekly GM targets as quickly as possible. Figuring out technology typically happens on the job because most staffing firms have fewer than 50 employees and don\u2019t have formal Training departments. Keeping up with technical terms is not the biggest challenge, although that is a constantly moving target. Understanding technical topics and concepts \u2014 what things are and how they work \u2014 is the biggest barrier to staffing professionals from having peer-level connections with their technical counterparts.<\/p>\n

This article from Quora maybe 9 years old, but the replies still resonate as if this was published last week. Pay special attention to the comment from @jonbischke, the CEO and Founder of sourcing tool Entelo because this is a technologist who is betting his future on seeing recruiters become more effective at their jobs. TechScreen\u2019s launch in 2016 was driven by the kind of sentiment seen here from technologists.<\/p>\n

This is the reason that TechScreen is positioning itself as the Technical Training Partner to the IT Staffing industry. We recently rolled out our Certification Training Program, 12 modules of deep dive learning where we break down advanced technical concepts \u2014 across Application Architecture, Networking, Databases, DevOps, The Cloud, and InfoSec \u2014 in a way that was designed for a non-technical person can absorb and internalize.<\/p>\n

There certainly are other programs that offer technical training to IT recruiters. Ours is the only one that comes the free use of our proven SaaS screening platform for a year so it reinforces the learning that takes place in training. The daily use of our technical engagement platform helps recruiters and AEs to more effectively engage with their respective audiences. Training content is useless \u2014 and a waste of money \u2014 if users are not putting this knowledge to use in the execution of their jobs. Combining Training with the use of our tool is a great way to ensure users will retain this detailed technical insight and apply it to how they qualify candidates and requirements.<\/p>\n
