Work 4.0 - Achieve your IT dream job with a professional IT recruiter

In times when the topics of digital transformation, omnichannel, and Industry 4.0 dominate the media, the IT industry has evolved into a massive candidate market. At the same time, candidates today no longer want to be "recruited"; they rely on individual and objective advice and personalized support tailored to their wishes and goals in the application and career process. Candidates not only demand in-depth knowledge about the future employer and the advertised position but also professional coaching. Job seekers now almost exclusively search for new positions on the internet and become aware of job offers. But when is it worthwhile for them to seek advice and guidance in the application process from a professional recruiter? What are the advantages of this? Are the chances of getting a desired position higher when a recruiter takes on the often unpaid coaching for the candidate? - The answer is clearly yes, provided that candidates trust a professionally working and IT-specialized recruitment agency. The next question arises: How can candidates recognize a high-quality personnel service provider? 1. A professionally sound job description: It starts with an informative job description that allows a candidate to see if the recruiter understands the field and if the required skills for the position are accurate. It is not just about recruiters matching job profiles with candidate profiles, but about having the appropriate expertise. 2. Individual and objective advice: Based on a good job description, the personal coach can provide individual and objective advice. Objectivity means that sometimes a job change may be discouraged, for example, if the tenure does not make another change seem optimal at the moment or further experiences are important before taking the next career step. Similarly, an objective evaluation of a candidate's salary expectations can be crucial in the application process. If a candidate, for example, has been with the same company since their training and their salary expectations are much too low for a position, incorrect conclusions about their abilities could be drawn. Conversely, candidates sometimes get stuck in unrealistic expectations that do not match the market level. A recruiter with high quality standards has excellent knowledge of the industry, knows where the salary level is, and can realistically assess the job prospects of their candidates. This guarantees the candidate an optimal application process. 3. Good application documents: Those who deal with companies and candidates on a daily basis have a solid knowledge and a keen sense of which application stands out and which formalities and statements are important. The application portfolio is the first contact with a potential employer, and therefore, the coach can provide many valuable tips. Additionally, the candidate has full transparency at all times about which companies the documents are being submitted to and where they stand in the application process. 4. Optimal preparation for the job interview or assessment center: A good recruiter prepares their candidates specifically for upcoming job interviews. Ideally, they should know the interviewers of their clients. In personal preliminary discussions, the personal coach can focus on crucial formalities and behaviors so that the candidate has an optimal performance in their job interview. Subsequently, they gather feedback from the candidate and the client, guide the next steps, and coach the application process through further job interviews or an assessment center until the final job offer. Even after the candidate has started their new position, a responsible recruiter remains available to guide and support both the candidate and the client. Ultimately, a leading IT recruitment agency stands for technical understanding, a well-founded selection of suitable positions, optimal support throughout the coaching process with full transparency through regular feedback rounds, and excellent soft skills in dealing with candidates.
